As a professional feller , I specifically use the Stihl 2018 MS 201 C-EM pro model with a 12 inch bar.For more power, I turbo charge it with a mini Garrett turbo and run a K&N filter on the intake.Stock it comes with 2.41 bhp , however after the turbo @ 10PSI of boost I get 269HP and 420Nm of torque on the dyno. With this mod I can easily outperform the Stihl MS 880 Magnum that only gets 8 bhp. The little saw shreds right through 50 inch logs in an instant and yet it stays light and very maneuverable. Just stay with the 201 and mod it , its all you need.
Lol 🤣 you're insane 🤣
@@stevenbrown5210 🤣🤣🤣
This guy chainsaws.
This was great 😅
I love my MS 180C. I can use either a 12'', 14'' or 16'' bar and chain. I use mine with a 14'' bar and chain. Plenty of power and very useful all around chainsaw. Always keep your chain sharp. That's the key to any saw you buy or use.
Can you use 18" bar and chain?
i like that instead of pushing us to buy the bigger saws you put an emphasis on not buying too much saw

I have always had stihl saws. Right now my favorite is my 461. Saw is a beast. I'd suggest it to anyone needing to cut a lot of big timber. Well worth the price.
it's a bad bitch I mite get the ms 661 magnum at sum time it has a 91 cc motor
Get a echo timber Wolf won't die at idle like all sthils
@@richard4460 neither of my saws die at idle so...
Thinking about a stihl this year, my 16" Husq. struggles on 12 to 14" oak trees. I live on a farm and routinely have to fell large trees and clear roadways.
Husqvarna is absolute garbage 🗑️ I can speak from personal experience
I have an MS180C and I have cut stuff WAAAAAYYYY bigger that whats intended for it during an emergency and it handheld it just fine.
I've used it to cut a ton of firewood and have felled many 10 to 15inch trees with it no problem.
Yeah they smaller saws look like toys, but they work really REALLY well.
I have a Stihl 020WB that is over thirty years old and still runs great. This is the only saw that you need to buy.
no such thing as an 020 Wood Boss.
There is no right or wrong with these...buy them all! I'd love to
Wish they would do a video on all the stihl pro saws. This one is just for home owner saws
I LOVE my STIHL chainsaws

I'm only 30 seconds into this video and I'd trust this man with my life
What's up John! Lol did you work at burkland in Goodrich?
@@zackmoore1351 no not me buddy! From the commonwealth of Massachusetts if you were wondering
@@johnmedeiros8553 ahh ok I worked with someone with the same name. Had a good sense of humor too.
@@johnmedeiros8553 This has got to be one of the funniest comments on TH-cam.
It was hard for me to decide over the years,I used to do a lot of firewood cutting,so I have an MS 171,021,028 Super,MS 271,and an MS 460.I don't know why I always want more,even if I can't use them??? :D
You guys make the best saw from my gathering. Family all owns them, I was still looking all over, they was right. Might I suggest a product line up Playlist.
he was saying "this saw has a reduced emission engine" Like that's a good thing.
hub hug
for the tree hugger that still wants to kill trees.
Its ironic because they say they are 'caring about the environment' but I'm literally using a chainsaw to cut down a tree and cut it up for firewood lol.
i dont see any irony here
less toxic fumes for the operator of the saw, for ex
a logger who spends a big part of the day running it trough career it hell sure sounds beneficial if power isnt compromised too badly
What's wrong with less unnecessary pollution? People need firewood but that doesn't mean we shouldn't care at all about the world. Would you rather we just take all the cats off vehicles and just forget about trying to limit pollution? If guys cared even a little we wouldn't get so much BS from the EPA about diesels and modified hot rods too. I like them as much as the next guy but guys that just want to pollute as much as possible are ruining it for the guys like me who rely on a diesel to make a living, not drive around a lifted 1 ton rolling coal to impress trailer park princesses..
I bought an MS290 back in 1998. Replaced the oil pump, and the fuel pickup tube. Has cut 70 cords+ is ready for a new bar, but otherwise fires on the second pull, don't know if I will ever need to replace it. As long as parts are available.
Ive been runnin my MS290 since 01 when i bought it new..never had any problems and ive cut well over 100 cords with it
the STIHL MS 290 has been a great saw for many and we're glad to hear you feel the same. Hope you get many more years of great service out of it!
When you sell a saw to homeowner Joe, you should sell them at least one extra chain and inform them they'll be spending half as much as the saw cost at the dealer every couple of years. That's to put a carb kit in along with other tune up maintenance. Most won't learn how to do any of those tasks properly and they should know what the true cost of ownership is. Also they won't be as likely to get frustrated when they need their saw and it doesn't run right. That's when people blame the brand and it was actually lack of maintenance or operator error.
Naw, just throw a carb on that you order. Don't let the shop do it.
Thanks for the reality check.
I bought a stihl 025 in about 1992 , it has just started playing up ! either impulse line or crank seals , pretty good saw i would say . Cheers .
I have the ms 180 and love it. It doesn't let me down. It is a older model so I don't know about the new ones.
Do you use 18" bar and chain?
The best all around chainsaw is the 362 imo, can do small stuff and pretty large stuff depending on bar
I have an 036, running like a top 30+ years later. Just got an MS180 though for small stuff.
I’m a Echo guy but Stihl makes some of the best chainsaws out there.
I bought my first saw back in April '95. I was new to chainsaws and decided on a Stihl 066 (the equivalent, I think, to today's ms661) I didn't want the 'daddy' saw (the 084, I think it was) for, like I say, I was just a novice and new to chainsaws. The 066 came with a 25" bar. If I want a bigger saw I simply put on my 30" bar, and if I want a smaller saw (like, for limbing or hedge cutting) then I revert back to 25".
Show us some of those saws on the bottom shelf 😍😍😍
I was wondering if Stihl dealerships have special savings event? Ex blackfriday etc
just laff as dealers seldom have an actual deal on sale.
the few i asked gave me the same answer
"that is up to stihl. they have nothing to do with it"
this is another reason i stopped buying their unsupported product.
i would buy used before new as the dealerships ive stopped in are not very customer or public oriented.
@@toknowlj sounds like you have some shitty dealers around you. I'm lucky enough to have 3 or 4 good ones close by, and I can get any Stihl saw that I need brand new. Really sucks when the dealers are assholes to people though. Maybe you could order new ones online?
I like the fact that he said they are easy to pull to get started. I have a bad shoulder and just can't yank those things like most of you can. But I wished he'd started a couple so we can see it. One other thing is I could never get my foot in the handle to hold it down to start it. I can't even remember which one I had but I sold it anyway to get rid of it. Wonder why they can't make them with a bigger handle to get your boot into it.
Jay Davis
Jay Davis The easy pull really is easy. You just pull it up. No yanking, no tugging, no "throwing" the saw away from you. It can remain on the ground or a step or a log.
The pull spins up a mechanism in the engine which "releases" at the top of the pull, thus turning the engine over. It really does work well. Have had mine over a year, and being in my 50s I do appreciate it.
Yeah...Not to mention if you're left-handed too.
Wow
I've been always dream that STHIL CHAINSAW 😥❤️
I got an o64av stihl that screams through the wood, but it's pretty heavy!
Stihl is the best of the word!!!
When are you guys going to make or offer a saw . With a hole for big hands and big feet ?
I bought the MS251CBE. I've owned it over a month and I've never used it
I want to undo my wheel nuts on my car which chain saw would you recommend?
@DeepWaterBlack Nice.
The biggest one you can find use the MS 311
i have 3 saw.. ms180 a 044(same as ms440) and a husqvarna 254(about the same a the 044). i mostly use the ms180.. easy to handle.. i climb trees and do all with the small ms180. for firewood cutting on the ground ill pick the 254 or 044 , both heavy but allot of power.. good for thick trees and fast cutting
my advice.. you can cut anything with a small saw (up to 60cm thick trees).. you going to use it for firewood only or cut only 3 trees a year?.. just buy a small saw.. like the ms171 ms180 ms181 maybe 211 if you like a little more power
you saw allot?.. get a big one and a small one.. like i have
you going to climb trees or you just want a easy saw? get a light one: the 1 hand saws: ms150 ms193 .. 2.6kg and 3.3 kg. 1.3 and 1.8hp
i find my ms180 allready a little to heavy with 4.1kg, buts its the cheaper hobby saw
if i would buy my first saw. with the information i know now. i would buy a ms193 1.8hp and 3.3kg. and if i would not have the money i would buy the ms180 right over again. ;)
I want that sthil with the quick chain tensioner. I have a 391 already but I need something lighter and easy to tighten the chain
So, I need a 661 with a 16 inch chain?
I love Stihl chainsaws but my advice is avoid the easy start option. it really isn't that hard to start don't know why they came up with that feature.
Right. As long as they're maintaining correctly they start up fine. I've had no problem starting mine in the teens and 20s F. That's about as cold as it get here in winter. I've been riding and racing 2 strokes my whole like though so I know exactly how to maintain and store them to avoid any problems. Like draining the carb, avoiding over-oiling since it doesn't really save the top end of the engine like people think. Stihl's ratio is just fine, clean filter, etc. Another thing is to really clear it out before storing it. I have an older model that I put a petcock on so I shut off the valve and run it WOT til the carbs empty so theres no oil to gunk up the inside of the carb and the spark plug is fully burnt off, a semi-fouled plug has a weak spark and that is a big part of hard starts on 2 strokes.
Yeah im 13 and use my dad ms180 and ms 250 there not hard to start at all. Now we are farmers so we're built for work but in reality i think a 5 year old could pull the ms180 the easy to start is just a reason to suck money out of the costumer and another mechanical part to fail throw some hay bales around for summer and fal then come mid fall and you start cutting wood to heat the house you'll find that starting a saw is easier than buttering toast. Just have a good mentor like your father to always help you and you'll be fine. My dad had used stihl for 30 years and I love em too,our local dealer is a friendly guy we visit alot we have5 stihls for use on the farm and at the hunting camp feed the stihl oil and ethanol free gas mixind and wood cutter bar and chain oil,keep that chain sharp and it will last you a life time.
Ive had homelite, stihl, huskvarna, poulan, but don't use them much so keep them many years. My problem is that makers change models so often that when I have carb or parts problems, the maker no longer stocks parts and doesn't make that model any longer, so I have to throw away a perfectly good saw for the lack of a simple part. Wish someone would stock parts longer or not change models so often.
I bought a Tanaka (Hitachi) more than 20 years ago when i was in Hongkong, and I am surprised that almost all parts are still available today. Just bought a new chain brake assembly online.
eBay bro
@@wzrdinthemaking your comment is well intended but i can see you havent many repair items in your barn or garage that you are trying to get parts for,,
@@bill45colt you right.
So what brand is has more parts readily available?
@@wzrdinthemaking i dont know
Ms170 is a good choice for me anyway , i have it in my car when camping and such !
Ralf Risberg I know many who have this saw for camping, clearing out hunting areas and just a small saw to keep in the trunk during the winter months.
Wise advise in this Stihl Chain Saw Video. Helping customers decide which Stihl Chain Saw is best for their tasks is an important in Buriram, Thailand as in the United States. My family owned tool shop is proud to offer Stihl Chain saws and garden tools in Isaan, Thailand.
Genuine German made ones, or cheap Chinese knock off's?
Just buy 2 or three. More is better. MS261 is a great all around saw. Handles up to a 24 inch bar; MS 310 -don’t know the current number. Work horse. Mine is 25 years old; MS361 great medium size saw 24” to 30” bar. MS 066. Last of the 066 before the 661 series. Second largest saw Stihl makes. I use 24” and 36” bars with very aggressive RS chain. I have not tried it but I think the 661 will run great with a 42” bar. I cut oak in Central Texas. Very hardwood.
How can I open a little more the oil of a ms250? My new chainsaw bar is not overadjusted and It becomes too hot when I'm working. When I test the oil marking a line of oil in a paper, It only paints a little bit. What can I do??
Not anything said about chain types, or the type of wood you're cutting.
I cutting soft wood Pine wood and Hard wood Oak with the Stihl Chainsaw
Stihl is the best
I like the Stihl Chainsaw
Since my chainsaw was new, it does not start easy. In fact IF you get it to start, your so tired. How do you make it to start easily?
C Jacob you're probably flooding it I made the same mistake I flooded my engine multiple times and got frustrated after trying for an hour to start it come to find out I was flooding it by trying to start it with the choke on. First set the choke on and then pull no more than 3 times or until the chainsaw burps. then switch it to half choke and then pull until it starts which for me usually takes one or two pulls
I had to get a Catholic priest to perform an exorcism on my stihl so it would start! Why can't I just buy a Honda chainsaw? Why am I the only one asking this question?
I have an Stihl ms250. Had it for 4 years. It starts on the 3rd or 4th pull even after sitting for 6 months. When its warmed up i can drop start it 1st try every time.
I have asked that question for 20 years.
C Jacob: Have you tried drop starting it?
Get yourself some protective trousers!!
I have a Stihl chainsaw which I purchased new and it never have been a good saw for me. The main problem I have is starting it, and when I did get it started it didn't do much, as I mainly use it my saws to cut limbs, and brush I can't get to with my tractor and brush hog around my rural home. There is my older Poulan saw which still works and have taken care of my place since I got it after the Winter storm we had in 2000, and I still have to depend on it. I purchased a new Stihl weed trimmer, and it works better than the saw I got, but I will never buy another Stihl saw.
Pro model's are the best.
ohiodeerhunter21 they are for the every day user.
I have a 661 and a 880 magnum but I'm also a tree feller I agree with you the pros are the best!
Robert Land someone has money lol
@@ryy597 doesn't matter when a good saw can put get you $1000 gross or more back in a week and is a tax deductible expense...
@@MinimalistMotoLife i know i was just joking. an ms880 can get you alot of money milling
I’m having a hard time fitting the specifications. So first off never used an actual chainsaw.. I use a pole saw all the time. I don’t need something so expensive, I’ll be using it around my house for limbs and trees.. but my trees are pretty big. 16” bar would be fine for a few trees but I don’t need a huge one. And I may use it here and there or I may eventually end up doing more cleanup with the yards I mow and landscape. Who knows I just know I want something to last and be the happy medium I need for the price I’m comfortable paying, don’t want to have to buy too big of one or too small of one and have to go get another one. I need to cut down some dead pine trees but I’m afraid they’re gonna fall on the house. And I can’t afford a tree company , so learn myself
Hello and thanks for reaching out. If you plan on using it multiple times a year then we would recommend a mid range saw like a STIHL MS 250, MS 251, or a MS 271. Check out our interactive product selector bit.ly/3FsNHV2
There is also a lot of helpful working techniques and safety precautions recommended in the instruction manuals.
Remember if your are just doing light pruning the best saw for the Job is the Stihl Ms 880 Magnum.
47 inch bar for extra points, too!
I made the mistake of buying the hand tightening chain system....^*@# junk. Spent more time adjusting the chain and putting it back on than I did cutting wood.

Can you show the381 model,i don't see it anyway around the still show on TH-cam,sorry😀
Can't finish :; reruns of Lavern & Shirley on the radio !
They never mentioned any pro series saws... This should be listed as a safety video, just yapping at people to buy a small saw so they don't hurt themselves
A Pro would know what he was looking for? A Pro would have a local dealer to lend him saws that he was interested in?
Homeowners looking for professional saws on the other hand, are simply an accident waiting to happen.
Don't blame the distributor for being conservative in their recommendations, blame the law-suits that result from Darwinian accidents.
Okay here is a simple scenario for you to understand... A farmer with acres of forest decides to log some of it himself, he's cut firewood for years lots of experience but wants a bigger saw, hasn't looked at new saws in years wants to know whats out there...
Get it???
Morpheen999
this video is for people who have never used a chainsaw
Morpheen999 they would get an ms 271 as per the video
And chainsaws are like women , you don't loan them out or it will end in tears.
Don't waste your time with something small. What are you gonna do when you're like "oh I'm glad I have a chainsaw for this situation. Wait... I don't have enough power."
Bruce Courtney ggu9ppwewwqq1qqqqqqqq .
b.
Everybody should own an MS880R, and nothing less then the 59" bar and chain.
Yeah but if you mainly cut smaller stuff then what’s the point of buying a 16lb saw with 7 horsepower that will cost about $1800.00!!!
Or buy multiple saw, various sizes
Your better off with a smaller one for lots of reasons. It will cut just as well. Its cheaper. Its a lot lighter, you won't hold up a big one for long and it will only have half the teeth for sharpening, don't forget that. It takes a lot less fuel and oil and if your occasionally cutting bigger stuff, just buy a longer bar and chain to have at the ready and change when you do need it, which will be seldom and it won't kill your engine. Bear in mind the weight and convenience of these things. Most important.
What you recommend for a home and little bit in the wood ?
Ацо Димоски ms 180c
Very good senso
Let me start by saying that I think the ms271 is a perfectly fine chainsaw. My question is in this video he states that the ms271 is built for constant heavy duty use correct? I thought the commercial saws were built for constant heavy duty use. From what I understand I didn't think there was much difference between the farm and ranch / homeowner saws other than size. I thought they were labeled Farm and Ranch because they were just bigger more powerful saws then the homeowner saws. I know there's a big difference between Pro Models and homeowner and farm and ranch saws. Maybe someone can enlighten me on this LOL
Sir do you have facilities to deliver worldwide? If yes plz share price for ms271.
Ms 382 maximum bar length use can do sir
This video was from 8 years ago. Has your product line not been updated?

Use a Stihl MS 461 Pro Saw
@@blainwilson7937 Thank you so much!
Why didnt you show the pro moddels like the 241 on the smaller side or even some bigger saws
Stihl is my favourite company
I would NOT buy a Stihl after my current experience with a key component product defect, coupled with Stihl UK's customer service. I bought my Stihl MS391 in December 2016 and used maybe 6 weekends a year in my large garden, so small usage compared to forestry/tree surgeons. Last month it had problems starting so I took it to a Stihl dealer/service agent and they reported that the thread on the cylinder head is damaged so the spark plug won’t tighten enough for the machine to start the engine. I was quoted £275 for labour and parts on a chainsaw that cost me £475 four years ago, now retailing at £650. Stihl refused to compensate me or find a mutual resolution as they insist it's a wear & tear issue
It's crazy. What would you do?
Cry!
I have a dream to use it

Wonder if you offer certified chainsaw training for newbies / advanced / professionals?
Hi Michael, Thanks for your comment. You can check out this link for information on our professional training offerings: bit.ly/3jwmbOd .
@@stihlusa Your encyclopedia of trees looks fascinating. I read of a tree in the Vietnam jungle so hard all the cutting tools troops had simply bounced off it. They needed a chopper LZ so it needed to go. Only one soldier got it done. He unloaded a lot of M16 rounds making a horizontal cut. It must have had a normal lean because that did the trick. Wonder what type of tree that was?
thank you for the informative video, however i still have some lingering questions
i am a softwrae developer and not very muscular, but i need a saw with lots of power, capable of moving the blade fast enough to remove limbs between 4 " and 10" in diamter within 2 seconds.
which saw would be best for limbing my incompetent support staff?
but serious question, i want to buy a saw that will last for the rest of my life, like 30 years at best if i stop drinking today, why wouldn't i want to buy a professional grade over a homeowner?
If you have the cash, get the pro chainsaw. I just bought a 40k tractor so can only afford a home/farm boss chainsaw.
This helped thx
Very nice intro video to chin saw. 🪚
Stihl 660 magnum is the way to go if your cutting some serious wood. It's worth the price, cuts like butter . I have both 660 & 880 an I don't think the 880 is worth the extra money for the extra power. The 660 will do everything you need to do. I have a 24/28/32/41/60 inch bars and I usually use the 32 cuz it has just enough power while still having a pretty big bar . Bigger bar less power. That's not to say the 60 inch doesn't get the job done. Happy chainsaw hunting !
Yeah but if all you’re doing is bucking average trees why carry the extra weight of a 661
@@Johnnyreengo Because when you have a longer bar, you can buck standing up, which is easier on your back, even if you're holding a heavier powerhead. Heavier powerhead standing up is less fatiguing than bending over while holding a lighter saw.
These are the best.
Nice review🙂
replaced the rope now my easy start won't turn the engine over dogs come out rope pulls fine idk I'm lost hurricane dam blew a tree down and I need to cut it up any help would be great
Can you suggest which chainsaw to buy ms 381 or ms 461?? If possible reply now.. Thnks
462c-m is the way to go. It can run a 32, and I've heard nothing but good about them. Or you can get the 661c-m, run anything up to a 36.
i have a log 5 feet wide would a ms650 do the job
I love my early 90s 044 hotsaw...I can run either a 24” bar or a 36” bar..both are yellow bars...oh and have 2 015AVs from the 70s...all three saws are awesome...the old ones are better...made in Germany...😃
Avoid the amateur versions. Too much plastic.
Prefer the pro-models. They will last your lifetime.
For the occasional home use only, the pro-models would be an overkill.
Doug Celeste
for home use get a poulan they start very easy . an i have never killed one . gas lines only go bad but thats all 2 srokes our gas eats them up
animalcorvair Thanks for your input. I heard bad things about Poulan chain saws in my online research but sounds like you have had better luck. Yes, the ethanol in our fuels is VERY bad for the two-stroke engines. Anyhow, I will rent a powerful 20-inch Mikita chain saw with a new blade at Home Depot for the day. The price is right and I really do not want to buy a chain saw for a job that I should easily get done in a day and then will rarely need in the future.
Agreed, much prefer pro models, that easy tension thing is useless
MS 260 is, I think the smallest pro model. 3.5 hp.
This is the one I bought. It's not too heavy, has moderate power and is pro.
Ca i use 25"bar in ms 660 Stihl.
Please tell me stihl 180ms price
LOU,WHERE IS YOUR STORE,AND CONTACT INFO,THANKS
Hey stihl,or anyone out there who really knows!!!...question
Are the engine parts the same in the PRO saws vs farm saws? Will the pro saw last longer?
AWESOMESAUCE in short, yes. They are built to last longer, because they are for the ones who will rely on their chainsaws to make a living. These saws are also much easier to repair, rebuild and parts are readily available, whereas the homeowner and ranch saws are a clamshell engine in a plastic case. Some call them "throw away saws", where people throw them out and go but new. These saws can be repaired and rebuilt, if you know what you are doing. If you take it to a shop, they purposely charge more per hour to make the time and parts in the saw make it more than what the saw is worth, and want you to buy a new saw. If you have the know how and a few hours of evening, you can repair and rebuild these saws that will work even better than they did brand new.
If you're not using your saw day in day out, you're not going to need to rebuild it. Just tune up from time to time, feed it good gas and sharpen the chain.
nice watch on this man
I'M STIHL NOT SURE WHICH ONE TO BUY !

Too much saw is not even a thing.

Hi some call me the chainsaw Massacre an I sometimes get the itch to cut folks up like the peacefully Muslims right down the block from me I was just wondering what would be the proper fine saw to use on this kind of task.
How much?
We cut trees for a living the sthil is our go too saw, We have echos shindawa Johnson reds all very good but sthil is by far the best. Previously I owned a husky 350 which was discontinued, it was the biggest piece of shit I've ever used. I've heard absolute horror stories about that type of saw.
I have a question and I hope you can help me. is it OK that I don't add oil to the gasoline for my chainsaw? thanks.....
Limit Less u always need oil mix .. That keeps the engine cooler and strong!

Ummmmm... No. You ALWAYS need oil in a 2 CYCLE. No oil is for a 4 CYCLE. You need to buy the correct oil and put it in your gas according to the manual immediately. If you don't, your chainsaw will cease. Hope this helps!
How can i buy your chain saw the ms 500i ineed this asap
I love my Stihl chain saw until I bought a new one 20”
I own two t540xp's , 550xp, 372xp, 390xp. The company i worked for before used all Stihl used 261, 200t, 201t, 362, 461, 066/660, and a 088. that was usually what was on the trucks depending what one. I would grab the 461 or the 066 99% of the time 066 had a 28" bar. 088 had a 6' bar used it for big silver maple stumps and nothing else. 461 is the go to brush saw with a 24" bar
I'm guessing there should be a fourth question you must ask yourself -- how much do I intend on spending for this chainsaw?
They did technically say that, when they talked about what operation you have. If it’s small then you only need a small chainsaw which is cheaper then getting a bigger chainsaw.
Yes but also you'll be paying over double for a pro saw of the same size.
how to know original ??
I have a 180, 290, and 2 460 magnums. Use them ALL. lol The 1st 460 is stock and the 2nd has the dual port.
+Military Chevy Do you have a favorite? (I know the answer varies with the job, but which one do you find yourself using the most?)
pnutbutrncrackers My 460 is what I use the most as I usually get the heavier job. lol But the 460 and 660 are my favorite saws.

Well when you make won send me pice
I want to tell people about my brand new stihl chainsaw, i am 60 yrs old, farm boy for yrs.and very experienced,orchards and logging in my background.
my friends have Sthil and love them, they are mostly bigger saws but some smaller sizes. i was building a "real log cabin "and making lots of lumber the hard way,with a chainsaw, and thought i should have a spare. i bought the 3rd saw from the bottom of the row of saws. it has the bigger chain though, not the 5/16. forgot the model name. anyway that saw is a HUGE DUD !! it does run ok, but here are a few of the many problems, first it is very hard starting and cold blooded. i have run Huskies mostly and they have been excellent, i know each model varies but this model is really bad ! i never planned to use it much, just have it as i spare, i would never think of making lumber with it,its to small for that.
Next it does not oil the chain well, i called my friends who have Sthil saws, and they said make sure you buy the Sthil bar oil , it made NO difference, this is a new saw mind you (329.00 dollars) i take it apart and after only 20 minutes of use it is collecting crud in the oiling pathways inside of the base of the bar. i clean it out and try again, still ,not enough oil on the bar,i drip oil manually to get a job done. then it runs out of fuel quickly, and the caps are giving me so much trouble i can't believe it. i love the way the caps have a nice flap to make it easy to open while wearing gloves but i can't get them on easily, also it is almost impossible unless the oil level is 1/2 in below the top. ok ill baby the darn thing and try to get that part perfect. but still i cannot get the caps on without much much trouble, both caps. i know the marks are needing to be alined so don't think i am that stupid. anyway there are more problems than these i have mentioned.It also leaks oil, i must store it on its side or i will have a big oil slick on the floor, that is ridiculous. DAMN !!
i do understand it is not a pro model but 329 dollars i expect a better saw, i am a busy guy and did not have time or will to try and return it ,and no doubt they would either try to give me another of the same model or tell me i need to bring more paperwork so i didn't return it. its not easy to do returns where i am, its a lot of driving etc. so its been 16 months and all i have is a blog where i can at least tell the truth of this worthless saw. maybe a rep will see my honest note and make it right for me,who knows. send me a email. organicduderanch@yahoo.com.thanks
Hello and thank you for reaching out to us. We would like to have your concerns looked into and resolved. In order to do this we do need to have in a local STIHL dealer. Can you please share the serial number of your STIHL product and which local STIHL dealer you would like to work with ? Look forward to hearing from you.
@@stihlusa Hello, so very nice of you to get back to me, i will look up the number. and the name of the dealer. it is large hardware store in east Grand Rapids Michigan. i live 40 miles south in Plainwell Michigan. do you ever have a salesman in my area that could come by ? i have a flexible schedule, i could meet him somewhere and show him the saw, perhaps a more professional model would be better, i know the smaller saws are iffy.
@@stihlusa there may be a stihl dealer in my area, i will try to find one and get the serial no. of my saw.
Sounds good. Let us know if you have a dealer in mind or if you need help with one. If you don't mind messaging us on Facebook with that information, that would be great.
