I'm having a hard time trying to find a stihl 462cm. Have any of you seen dealers with some in stock anywhere?
 
Plenty of 462 here in Oz, I think the 500 might have caught people's attention and pushed it aside.
My dealer recently went to a Stihl franchise meeting and was warned that everything from saws to chain to chaps will be in even shorter supply next year.
You can guess the several reasons why

You saying 2023 is going to be worse with Stihl? lol awesome. I guess good luck locating a 500I.

Thanks
 
Montana resident which store would you want to use? I would like to call them?

PM me. We can discuss details and talk on the phone. Murdoch's can be stubborn about things. Like they would not give me the box when I bought my saw from them. Details like this and others you would have to overcome for me to ship.
 
Murdoch's stores are down to 51 462s. Only 1 sold in 2 days. Not as hot a market as I had thought. Even the one 500i at the Missoula store is still there. Last year that 500i would have been on a waiting list and picked up in an hour of arriving at the store. :yes:
 
53 462s at the various Murdoch's stores. And the solo 500i at Missoula is still there. I'd say the Stihl pro saws are now available. The buying rush is over, as it is now firewood cutting season in N.W. Montana except in the higher elevations.

I hit the firewood cutting season early and hard and I am done cutting. At least for my winter needs, I have what I need.

I found a 500I local and from what I have been told from multiple dealers here they wont even take down payments on preorders for the 500I. The one I bought was ordered in October and they only received 1..

Then maybe the 500i at the Missoula Murdochs is a website error. 3/4 wrap and just sitting in the store? Seems impossible with reports elsewhere of scarcity.

I only called 6 dealers in a 60 mile radius.. I can't say its like that everywhere, but the screenshot that was posted earlier makes a guy wonder.

Also, the saw you posted with the 3/4 handle is a better deal. For me to add a 3/4 handle it would be more total.
