STIHL MS 462 C 3-year review, homeowner perspective

[@ChrisvonChamier]

My cat does the same thing. nice having the family fur out on the property with me. cheers!

[@4wdingMates]

Tighten the chain that will help it not jam so much and cut better. Very loose in video can be seen at around 8 minute mark or bit after. Cheers for review though.

[@apuuvah]

Seems every Stihl is three pulls cold and one pull warm.

Great review! Thanks! 👍

[@cartier13]

Damn that chain is loose, and do you not sharpen your chains?

[@gunterbecker8528]

Great video

damn i have the original 462 which doesnt have the m tronic carb but i love it

[@joshuacarver3875]

May be a dumb question but does the 462c have the mtronic carb ?? I thought the 462cm had the “electric carb” Also do you recommend the mtronic setup vs a manual carb ?

[@jonnysnipes3123]

@ the original 462 had the regular, when they introduced the 462c i believe that came with the m tronic. i mean i personally dont care because im really good with tuning 2 strokes but if you aren’t great with that you’ll probably get your peak performance with the m tronic carb since it auto tunes its self.

[@aleksandarzarev9520]

Pozdrav, da li ste za svo to vreme korišćenja imali problem sa elektronikom?

[@lukedaoutdoorguy7639]

Not at all

[@craigunderwood4353]

ELECTRIC? GAS ONLY!

[@lukedaoutdoorguy7639]

Automobiles? Horse and buggy only! If you haven't tried it you really should. They work great

[@whatsapoop]

Gas ....... comes with a 25" bar. Upgrade to the 32", not only for bigger wood but you can mostly stand up straight and buck. Your back will love you for it. Had mine for about 3 years now. About 3 months in watched a video from Buckin' Billy Ray about running long bars mainly for that reason. Bought one, won't ever go back. This isn't a "pruner' saw so just be aware you will need a shorter bar or, preferably (like me), a smaller saw for the light work. I also have the bark box which is the best bolt on accessory you can get, followed by a set of Pro-Safety Felling Dogs and a chain catcher (all from Westcoast Saws). On cold start it will almost always need 3 to 4 pulls, it's the nature of Stihl. The proper start procedure is choke on, pull until the saw "burps", pop the throttle to release the choke to run, pull until it starts (usually about 2 or 3 pulls), let saw warm up for about a minute before going to work. Use the best bar and 2-stroke oil you can get, ALWAYS run ethanol free gas, do your maintenance, take care of this machine and it will last the rest of your life. Good, informative video.

Και καλά δεν το λες ότι τα πήγε..!!

It doesn't look right cutting that wood. I have a ms400 with a 20 inch bar and it's so fluid.

[@gunterbecker8528]

Does the oil pump on u 400 oiling a 20 inch bar sufficiently??? Please advise Gunter, thinking of buying the 400 !

[@geesounthonevat5758]

@gunterbecker8528 no issues with the 400. I had a 391 prior to this. The 400 is lighter, more powerful and just feels good cutting. You won't be disappointed in the 400.
