I went from buying my first homeowner chainsaw (Stihl ms 211) to my first pro saw, and man, what a jump in power! I was looking at the 261, then 362, and finally the beast itself, the stihl ms 462 c-m. I wanted the 500i but I would have had to wait on a list for who knows how long, and the 462 was about a pound lighter and only 8 cc's smaller. Plus you can get it ported, put a barkbox on it and it will be more powerful than the 500i. I'm looking to start felling trees for ppl. So I needed a pro saw. It started on the first pull, after I choked it once. Throttle response is awesome, the saw seems like it wants to take off running when I hit it lol. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who doesn't cut alot or doesn't fell big trees. Too much money to not use it enough. ... MoreI went from buying my first homeowner chainsaw (Stihl ms 211) to my first pro saw, and man, what a jump in power!

Order some bigger felling dogs to really stick the saw in the tree

I've only ran this saw for 20 or so tanks, but this saw still continues to impress me more and more every time I run it. The saw is insanely light for a 70cc saw, probably the lightest 70cc I've ever ran. That sure doesn't mean it's gutless though, since this saw has a boatload of power and torque for it's displacement. I run a 32" full comp setup with this saw, and it pulls it no problem, even when the saw is buried in hardwoods. For small milling, this is the perfect saw for that too, since this is an adjustable carb and I can tune the saw richer for milling. The trigger response is wicked fast too, you can feel it when you rev it up.Even though I haven't had a ton of time on it yet, I'm looking forward to getting some more hours on it based on my current ... MoreI've only ran this saw for 20 or so tanks, but this saw still continues to impress me more and more every time I run it.

Purchased MS 462 with a 20" ES Light bar and full comp RS chain during spring '20. Saw has awesome power and power/ weight ratio (slings cookies off of the log). Current set-up is is perfectly balanced, and it's ergonomically designed, something appreciated as my age ticks past 55. It's just a bit heavier than my MS 260. It's a ground saw that is a pleasure to run. It starts easily and runs reliably. The saw features add to the positive user experience: captive bar nuts, ElastoStart, decomp button, HD2 air filter that seals out dust (seems Stihl should have had a filter like this years ago), and the M-Tronic system is super responsive (with a 20" bar it cuts real quick !). It leaves a wake of sawdust behind me (don't forget to zip your pockets !). It slices with ... MorePurchased MS 462 with a 20" ES Light bar and full comp RS chain during spring '20.

It's a bit thirsty, but that's the trade-off for an aggressive, voracious saw. It does some work and does it fast !

I bought this saw at Wagner Building Supply in Wagner South Dakota. I have a 12you MS441 that developed a problem, and took it there to be worked on. I bought the MS462 to use while they worked on the MS441. I love the saw, it has a lot of power, and revs up really quickly compared to a conventional carb saw. I also was impressed with their service guys. They updated me several times on what they found on my other saw, and gave me detailed info on the parts, costs, and timeline to fix my saw.
I wanted a saw in the 70cc range and owning several Stihl saws the choice was pretty much down to between the 461 and 462.I read and watched everything I could on both. It became pretty clear the 461 had the long reputation of being a dependable saw. The horsepower is the same between the two and the 462 is lighter. But the 461 has no M-Tronics and when modified is the clear winner.So I bought a new 461 and have had no regrets. I have owned it several months and used it alot without any issues.I use it mainly to fell and cut up firewood. But limb with my old ms250 and hoping to buy a ms261 before long. The ms250 has had a long rough life but still runs great. I take care of my saws and do my own maintenance. I have shop manuals for all my stihl equipment.Sad ... MoreI wanted a saw in the 70cc range and owning several Stihl saws the choice was pretty much down to between the 461 and 462.I read and watched everything I could on both.

I have shop manuals for all my stihl equipment.Sad they are discontinuing the 461 and glad I have mine if it is still on that list.If not I would recommend it to anyone looking for a 76.5cc saw with more then ample power that can have alot more squeezed from it. And they were experienced because this is not a beginner or noviced user.But I love my ms461.
It was great until it wasn't. I had the saw for 18 months and cut just over 6 cords of wood with it. It would pull a buried full comp 28 at 10,000 feet elevation. I used only Motomix for its entire life. One day it lost compression. I took it to the dealer where I bought it. The mechanic told me that there is no scoring in the cylinder indicating straight gas, or grit through the air intake. The decompression valve is good. He did not know why it lost compression and surmised a defect that made it out of warranty. Stihl declined to help me with it, as it was out of warranty. The repair cost is over half of the purchase price of the saw. Not a good value proposition at all in my case. Thankfully, my MS261CM is running strong.
Originally intended to purchase a smaller saw for hurricane clean-up but with shortages at the time this was the next option. Hesitated at spending the money but knew that Stihl equipment is an investment. Once I had some hours behind the saw I was really amazed at how well it handles. It’s got the power for anything you throw at it, but is light enough to use for small jobs as well. The e-carb makes tuning a breeze and the saw adapts to any weather condition with less than a minute of effort. Highly recommend making the jump to a pro-level saw. I’ll never go back to anything less after owning this one.
I bought the ms462 wanting something that would cut better than my 290 farm boss and I was very surprised on the performance. I was able to cut 5 trees completely up in about 2.5 hours by myself, I don’t even use the 290 much anymore after buying this one. The weight of the ms462 is close to the same weight as the 290 farm boss with same bar lengths. I’m very impressed with stihl products I own 4 of there products and won’t buy any other brand.
I purchased a new 462 c-m a couple of weeks ago. I opted not to have the saw tested by the shop when I purchased it, as I like to break my saws in carefully and am no stranger when it comes to chainsaws. Today, I took it to work and planned to break it in. To my surprise, the trigger is locked up. I cannot press it at all! After calling both my local dealer, and the Stihl support number, it was clear that I must drive the 2 hour round trip to my nearest dealer to drop the saw off for inspection. This saw is still wet behind the ears and I'm already having troubles. Considering I just spent multiple thousands of dollars on Stihl products this spring, I am rather concerned and upset. The dealer treats me very well and will hopefully have the product up and running ... MoreI purchased a new 462 c-m a couple of weeks ago.

I cut up downed trees for firewood in my area here in middle TN, and I have always used Stihl 18" chainsaws. But when I would get to the thicker trunk, I would wish I had a longer chain bar to make this go better. So after a good bit of research, I decided to order a Stihl MS462C unit with a 28" bar. Whoa! What a beast! It has a feature that assists with starting, when I pull the rope. It has a meaty growl that speaks of its power. It chews through those downed tree trunks like butter, then it's just up to me on how to transport those big slabs. Its a little tricky changing a chain, because the long bar tips it forward, unlike the 18" models. But it can be done easily once you get used to it. This baby is not cheap, but so worth it for the time and effort it saves ... MoreI cut up downed trees for firewood in my area here in middle TN, and I have always used Stihl 18" chainsaws.
