Stihl ms462

So the 462 is close to being released I guess, found this Stihl video on YouTube but I've no idea what's being said. Anyone speak German?

Spoke with stihl uk this morning, as I've just ordered a 461.

The technical department said probably not released this year.

Snap the old 461s up before they all go ....has Aldi say "once they are gone they gone ".

The new one looks a bit sexy but definitely autotune. Tempted to buy a second 461 and store it in the loft!

I'm hoping they don't go fuel injected like the chop saw. I've heard they're a nightmare.

Just had a look at the video, and he was just blabbing on about the battery systems for most of it. Had a look on the German Stihl website, and it says that the new 462 with M-tronic is (at time of writing) the lightest in its class, of 70cc. Has a "motorgewicht" or engine weight (if I translate correctly) of just 6kg.

 

If I can get the boss to get one when it comes out, I'll let you know 😁

Why replace one of their killer saws so early?

Can't be emission regs?

He's mostly talking about the battery models and saying that the 462 has good acceleration and performance.

Thanks for the translation, I was hoping they may have said something a little more exciting but I guess they're gonna be playing their cards close being as Husqvarna are due to release their new saw.

Found on a German site. Looks like they've shed some weight and put a smaller engine in it?? Looks closer to a 441 in specs so imagine that'll be getting dropped from the range[ATTACH]221908[/ATTACH]
