I’m a STIHL guy at heart but own both the 462c and 572xp ... both are exceptional saws in their own right especially when modded ... the 462c is the most “Husqvarna-like” saw I’ve run and the 572xp kinda pulls like the old STIHL 460 series 😆

@stig ... 4 462 standard carb or Mtronic ? I thought you preferred 500i? They aren’t available here in USA yet ( way to go STIHL !) but supposedly are making there way across the pond “soon” ... How does the 462 compare with the 500i from your perspective?

The 462c is available with a standard adjustable carb instead of Mtronic ... imho the Mtronic system is superior to the standard carb in that the saw , regardless of temp or elevation , will always be in tune whereas the standard carb needs periodic (perhaps daily) adjustment to be in tune ...

... 32” bar thru ash ... Got TORQUE???

462c stock doesn’t have as much torque as the 572xp most likey due to engine design... 34 mm vs 39 mm stroke respectively ... IF a guy knows how to make them sing the 462c has diesel-like torque !

Mick , haven’t got me paws inside a 550xp (not sure which version you use) but I’m sure they run well stock ... ported = animal ... after running ported saws I Wood NEVER go back to stockers !

IF you aren’t using saws to make $ and just cutting farwood ya probably don’t NEED an 462c or a 572xp ; especially ported ones lol 😂! plenty of good running used saws that’ll get the job done for that application ... IF the goal however is a good hr/rate in ur pocket then run the BEST ya can...

For a STIHL guy ... a ported 241c (NLA unfortunately) or ported 261c and a ported 462c make for a good 2-saw plan for a “terra-firma guy” like me ... Especially with 12-16 b/c for the smaller displacement and 20-32” b/c for the 70cc class ... For those that prefer Husqvarna ported 550xp and...

Yeppers ! Both saws perform well ... especially when built by yours truly :D

Here is me hotwoods ported 462c running against an originally “Tennessee ported 395”... As you can see the difference isn’t much with a 25” bar ... remember that is a Ported 395xp NOT a stocker ..with longer bars the 395 will walk it ... ... The 462c and 572xp cut about the same stock ... I have...
