The STIHL MS 462 C-M is a high-performance professional forestry chainsaw combining a 72.2cc 2-MIX engine with M-Tronic electronic management to deliver 4.4 kW (6 hp) at just 6 kg without bar and chain — one of the best power-to-weight ratios in its class. Bar lengths from 45–63 cm (18–25") cover demanding felling, large-diameter cross-cutting and sustained timber processing. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery over £75.
Key Features
- 72.2cc 2-MIX Engine, 4.4 kW / 6 hp – High torque output with reduced emissions and fuel consumption versus conventional 2-stroke design.
- STIHL M-Tronic Engine Management – Automatically optimises ignition timing and fuel mix for peak performance across all conditions — altitude, temperature and fuel variance.
- 6 kg Without Bar and Chain – Class-leading power-to-weight ratio; significantly reduces operator fatigue on long felling shifts.
- HD2 Long-Life Air Filter – Pre-separation with oil/water-repellent material for extended engine protection and increased maintenance intervals.
- Ematic Oil System – Reduces bar oil consumption by up to 50% with precise demand-led lubrication.
- ElastoStart and Manual Decompression Valve – Effortless starting with reduced starter stress.
- Anti-Vibration System – Minimises hand-arm vibration for comfortable extended use.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MS 462 C-M?
The MS 462 C-M sits between the MS 261 C-M and the MS 500i in the STIHL forestry range and is widely regarded as the benchmark professional felling saw — enough displacement and torque for large timber, light enough to work all day without fatigue. M-Tronic removes carburettor adjustment from the workflow entirely, which on a commercial forestry site saves meaningful time and avoids performance degradation as conditions change. For contractors moving between felling, limbing and processing across a shift, the 45–63 cm bar range covers most UK forestry applications comfortably.

FAQs
How does the MS 462 C-M compare to the MS 261 C-M?
The MS 462 C-M has a larger 72.2cc engine producing 4.4 kW versus the MS 261 C-M's 50.2cc and 3.0 kW. It handles larger-diameter timber and sustained heavy cutting more comfortably, at the trade-off of slightly more weight.
What bar and chain does the MS 462 C-M use?
The MS 462 C-M accepts 45–63 cm (18–25") guide bars and uses .325" RS Pro chain. Replacement chains and bars are stocked at Gustharts.
Does M-Tronic need any manual adjustment?
No — M-Tronic automatically optimises fuel and ignition settings. A single calibration pull on startup is all that's required; no carburettor screwdriver adjustments needed in the field.
Is the MS 462 C-M suitable for chainsaw milling?
Yes — with bars up to 63 cm and strong sustained torque it works well with Alaskan mill setups for processing medium to large logs.
What is the difference between the MS 462 C-M and the MS 462 C-M R (Rescue)?
The MS 462 C-M R is a dedicated rescue variant fitted with a Rollomatic ES Rescue bar and Rapid Duro Rescue carbide chain for cutting composite materials. The standard MS 462 C-M is for timber cutting only.
