I’m under 50 and regularly pick up more than my body weight. I use the lightest saw that is big enough for the job. My dewalt 18v top handle gets most of the work for property maintenance. The 346xp, ms290 and ms400 do the big cutting depending how big it is.
Your comment is shallow and reflects a lack of wisdom and understanding. In my 30s I bought a ms441c that weighs almost 15lbs empty and without a bar. Now looking back almost all that I cut could be done with an ms250 or ms261. If you cut 5 cord of firewood a year like I do and do all your own cutting,loading,unloading,splitting,and stacking youd understand that everything you do that wastes energy counts,alot. Power to weight ratio counts,at least to a reasonable extent
@@ciphercode2298 I farm and maintain over 500 acres including 200 of wood lot. Hauled in 250 logs this season alone, if you can’t manage a heavy enough weapon to win the battle then you shouldn’t be in the battle to begin with so pick a lighter saw and do 5 cord, I could do 5 cord in 2 days without sweating. The miss-leading point is not every man cares about comfort, some of us are brutal and work hard and need a tool to do the job regardless of the physical requirements to make it happen. You are soft minded
@@rydplrs71 Yeah and you probably buy a bunch of consumer goods based on comfort of use and usability instead of performance. You seek comfort, I buy a saw for results and performance we are not discussing from the same point of view
@@williamjohnston580 Maybe as you mature you'll gain some understanding. You're not always gonna be the strong young buck. Some people have had injuries and a rough time in life. I applaud your 500 acres and 250 logs. Doin that kinda work must make you a real proud man.
What you need to have before spending $800 on a Stilh MS 362 chainsaw is a 20 year old Poulan chainsaw that "still" cranks after 20 years. Because the Stilh saw will fail you after 6 months, then after 1 year, 1.5...etc. Stilh having trouble with my MS [POC} 362 after 3 solenoid changes and now have a 2 yr old Stilh setting dead on a table.
If you’re blowing selenoids it sounds like no one bothered to tell you that even if the motor is hot, if you restart it you still have to engage the choke.
@@992Archer Are all these tips in the manual, about to buy a MS 391 likely and need it to last on the farm for felling/logging/pasture cleaning. Thanks, - Will
My 362 id doing great after 3 years and around 20 chains with them being sharpened. You need to learn how to start right. Either your not choking after it hot or your drop starting it which is a big no no.
Bought an MS 391 November 2022. It has a decomp valve on it.
Bought a 391 in February 2023. They come with the decomp valve now
Ya mine did to
Samsies! Love the 391.
No mention of the 362 being made from Magnesium and the 391 is plastic?
are you kidding me with this absurd computer narration?
Probably generative AI. Agreed, this is fucked lol
🤣
The Ms391 has a decomp valve on it tho. I own one
i got my 391 in 2017 it it has decomp
Mine has one from 2015
Of course the 391 is quite heavy its a ground saw for logging use, and it does have a decomp valve
362 is a pro saw 392 is not
Unless you are cutting wood everyday for a living, the MS391 is by far the better choice, price wise.
wtf is up with the AI voice over, annoying
My 391 costed 799 in 2015.24 inch bar.
You mean 25" stihl dont have a 24". Unless you bought aftermarket
Lose the computer voice. That sucks, would’ve liked a good comparison video but couldn’t stand the first 10 seconds.
Digital narration……. I’m out.
391 is going to have more power due to larger displacement….nope.
❤❤❤❤❤
Weight should not be a factor unless your over 50 years old, put on more muscle lol

Calling bullshit never had any problem with my stihl equipment.
@@williamjohnston580STIHL will last, I’ve never had an issue with any STIHL, still have my dads old STIHL starts within 2 pulls even after 30+ years.
