Using them both side by side today and the 462 is faster in the cut , it does not feel like a stihl .. it feels more like a 562xp on steroids with a femme handle and trigger... I do really like it though and would choose that and a 550xp for my woods saws.
500i just won’t bog down will pull a huge bar and loads of torque ,needs air filter cleaning daily though.. it’s very nice to use in a tree or felling big stuff.

I been needing to get a new workhorse for the larger trees and was thinking either the 500i or the 462. With there not being a huge difference in price I was thinking the 500i would be the best choice. I been using a 460 and will probably cry when I retire it [emoji12]

Any suggestions, reviews would be great [emoji1303]
