Stihl MS462 Gas Powered Professional Chainsaw

Experience unmatched agility and high-performance cutting with the mechanical STIHL MS 462 Chainsaw. Engineered as the lightest professional-grade, gas-powered chainsaw in its power class, this machine delivers a power-packed punch without weighing you down during long shifts. Built specifically for loggers, arborists, and forestry crews who prefer a simple, proven, non-electronic carburetor over computer-managed systems, it gives you traditional, reliable mechanical control and straightforward field-tuning capability.

Every structural detail of the MS 462 is optimized for precision and operator endurance. It features a slim sprocket cover design that reduces rolling resistance and improves chip clearance, alongside a unique spiked bumper design that bites deep into bark to help you maintain absolute control when bucking and felling large timber. Outfitted with the industrial-grade STIHL anti-vibration system, this lightweight powerhouse dramatically minimizes operator fatigue, allowing you to tackle demanding tree care tasks with a smooth, steady grip.

Professional Configuration Note: This is the highly sought-after, standard manual-adjustment carburetor version of the MS 462 (non-M-Tronic). It is the ideal choice for extreme-duty professionals who prioritize an elite power-to-weight ratio and traditional, computer-free mechanical dependability.
