Good choice. I have several commercial tree cutters as customers who swear by the MS 462. Most of them like it better than the MS 660.
I just think that for the price vs. power, the MS 462 would be a better option.
>>>>>>> OG - HA!

I got a couple MS 500i's in stock at our store, but they went fast. I'm still on the fence as to my opinion. Fuel injection isn't new to Stihl. They have been doing it for a while on their TS 500i cutoff saw. I just think that for the price vs. power, the MS 462 would be a better option.

100% agree here. And I have used some other stuff. However, nothing cuts like a Stihl.STIHL, STIHL, and STIHL. In all seriousness, I've never used anything BUT Stihl, so I dont really have any comparison. They sure are amazing though....
I sell Stihl chainsaws. I had the opportunity to visit Bryan Equipment, the Stihl distributor for the Midwest back in March. Got to run just about everything they had, including this MS880 with a 48" bar.

Hum, point taken. I'll have to do a little more reading up on the MS 462.
LOL, oh bite me!
Ace Hardware in Martinsville had a 500i in stock less than a week ago. Just saying IJ it sounds like OG is telling you to buy the big saw.
I told my wife I was buying a used 362 instead of the demo saw with full warranty because it was $100 cheaper, my wife essentially told me I was an idiot and to spend the extra $100 on the saw with the warranty
Nice new tool. Which model?I'm pissed at Stihl. My last purchase (4 stroke trimmer) was junk out of the box. Also picked up a Stihl blower that was pretty weak so sold it off. At this point I'm done.
Loving this new Echo and new Shindaiwa trimmer.

Plus 1 on that. Stihl like others has different lines. Sorry to hear about your experience with that one.. I’ve only used 1 echo saw and it was fine.let me guess. All white plastic instead of the traditional orange and white? Ive heard their new-ish all white entry models are no better than big box Troy Bilt crap. I witnessed it personally. Neighbor across the street bought several of those tools. worked great the first year. Next season, hard as hell to start. Just like the big box crap she was trying to get away from.
No I only buy commercial stuff. Consumer stuff is terrible.let me guess. All white plastic instead of the traditional orange and white?

CS 400Nice new tool. Which model?
I've seen it, haven't bought one yet. You have to have a different one for each chain size. Currently, I have two.Didnt see it posted in this thread but ive found stihl's sharpener to be great. Super easy to get a good edge.
