The Aussie seems like quite the photo bomber! He has good taste when it comes to chainsaws.
The only reason I have the 400 is my 462 got stolen. 400 was the biggest saw my dealer had during the Chineseium flu. Got the 462 back luckily but only use it now for big stuff.I've yet to run one myself but being real close to the 462 in weight, it's hard for me to justify it already owning more than one 462. Yet to hear anybody speak poorly of the 400.
Did you get a price? Just curious. Found the slip for mine and it was $12.Thanks for posting those numbers again... called the dealer and got the outer dog ordered while it was fresh in my mind.
No, didn't even ask. Just told the lady to order it in and call when they get it.Did you get a price? Just curious. Found the slip for mine and it was $12.
Looks like a 20" light bar from here. That's a pretty fast combination on that saw. I go back and forth between 20's and 24's on my own 462 depending on my mood that day. Good stuff.!Took my new 462 for a quick spin after work today. I've never owned a Stihl saw, but my first impressions are good. I have owned several 372's, so this thing has big shoes to fill. If you notice the bar cover and chain, I haven't completely abandoned my roots, but time will tell.

Not at all, it sets level. I would have gone standard weight at 20", but the price was right.As a note, a 20" Light bar:
The MS400 wears a 20" standard bar well, 25" Light bar equally well, but I don't have a MS462 so can't offer more than "something to think about."
- might swing the over-all balance too far too the rear
- could be sort enough you'll spend the extra money for the Light bar and not notice a difference vs. the standard bar
- find the setup is awesome for you
That’s the matching small outer spike? Same for the 462?Outer spike is part number 1141 664 0501 the complete set is 0000 660 0800. You will need hardware if ordering just the outer spike. Will fit 261, 362, 400. Fits a lot of others as well. 026, 260, 036, 360, 361 etc.
My 400 doesn't seem to vibrate as much as other 50CC-70CC saws that I have had/run.A 25" STIHL Light bar has great balance, strength, and is the lightest 25" bar for that saw.
Just got a STIHL 20" ES bar and 8-pin sprocket, it should really rip due to the light magnesium piston giving it high speed and the M-TRONIC giving it great torque for the cylinder size.
The powerhead does vibrate like a mad man though the anti-vibe soakes it up. Basically a factory race engine that should last nearly as long as a 462.
It is not a 662, it doesn't have the torque, but it's way lighter, especially with a STIHL Light bar.

Don’t think those spikes will fit the 462 but I can check.That’s the matching small outer spike? Same for the 462?
IPL shows only one set of spikes for the 462. 1122 664 0506 inner, 1122 664 0501 outer.That’s the matching small outer spike? Same for the 462?
