New MS462 C-M...

[MustangMike]

I like M-Tronic myself, have it on my 362, but this seems to be available now:

So far I like the Mtronic saws I've ran and owned, but I agree it should be an option.

The 261/362 seem to be a common fire crew saw of choice. They found out the m-tronic had a hard time adjusting with the smoke all the time so they brought back the standard carb primarily for that application.

The 462 pictured in the 2017 calendar does not have a C designation, so it does not seem like it will be a M-Tronic saw.

Likley a light weight, 461 upgrade with spring AV and advanced Air Filtration. At least, that is my guess.

I like to see the saw as an MTronic so i don't have to change the coil

That makes sense Mark, although I just saw it for 261s, not 362s. Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

If that is accurate I sure like the sound of those numbers...13.6lbs...wow.

Wish I could test a 462 on our seasoned Red Gum while firewood collecting, it always sorts out the girls from the boys..
Can't wait, hopefully they do not release it in AU months after other countries.

Good question

This maybe it coming, still looks interesting if it's not.

That's a teaser for their new line of lithium ion powered equipment.

That's a shame.
