Today I got out my MS170 that I have not used for four years. I had some Motomix in the tank from that long ago. It started with just a few pulls and ran perfectly without a single burp or stutter. How the hell can you beat that!
We bought one of these a little over a year ago - we own a small horse farm - and we have never used chainsaws (other than small electric tree trimming chainsaws). This little saw has had a lot of use...downing small trees, cutting fire wood, cutting fence posts, etc. I am very impressed as we have definitely used it for far more jobs than it is intended...it still is like new. I'm going to pick up a 271 today.
i have a 271 and a 461...i would go up a little higher if youre comfortable with a little more power and money....im probably going to sell my 271 and thats what im looking for a small little one like this when i dont need to bring out the bigger boy
@@unclereub4024 Yeah I understand - however it is my son that uses the chainsaws, 95% of the time...he is 19 and heads off to college in July. He likes the 271 (friends have them), and he wanted one for things a little bit bigger than his 170 will handle (at least speed wise)...he will still use his 170 the majority of the time. I'm in the camp if we need something bigger I will hire someone....especially after he is off to college.
@@gsdlvr123 knowing that dynamic I completely agree....farm boss is def enough for him at this stage
@@unclereub4024 Yes - when he graduates and returns home (he wants to build a cabin on our property) - he'll be buying his own chainsaws.
This saw is far more capable than they are letting on. I have cut up cords upon cords of wood with mine and it never hiccuped.
Same, cut down trees, and endless amounts of wood. Starts every time and runs great
Yep, if it’s smaller across than that bar this saw will cut it
I had a ms 180 c and that thing was a beast lady at the shop told me it wouldn’t cut big stuff I cut a lot of firewood with it and it was ran over by my 4 wheeler and still going strong never had a problem with it I gave it to my dad and still going
I purchased a Sthil 170 yesterday. I used my stimulus card. Fine machine.
I was about to do the same 😭
Ive had my MS 170 chainsaw for 12 months, its fantastic and has never let me down, great for cutting firewood in the bush
Just bought my first 170 this week - very excited!
I have one and I like it soo much, it is so easy to use, there is no tree or branch that it can not cut in my garden.
The MS170 and the MS180 are highly under rated. They can cut very well and for long periods and all size trees. They are not for the occasional use. You only need a pro saw if you are a logger or are cutting down very large trees, otherwise these models easily do the job.
Ms 170 💪
So i for some reason just now started looking at review videos on the MS 170 and i have owned one for approximately 2 years now. Every video and review i see on this saw is people saying how it is just a saw to use on occasion like once or twice a month or on a weekend or somthing dumb, but i can tell you from first hand experience as someone who has been cutting down trees for about 5 and half years now and ive owned all types shapes and sizes of saws this little MS 170 does not get the credit it deserves. I have personally put mine through gruelling hours of relentless cutting day in and day out and not had a single issuse what so ever. And yes i know that it is a micro chain which means its deminsions are 1.1 with 55 teeth imstead of 1.3 with 56 teeth so the chain is thinner and smaller but by decimal its less then a tenth i think its .043 instead of .050 so really it just makes the thing cut like a razzor really fast and precise. As long as you keep the chain sharp it will do what ever you want it to. Ive also dropped very large ash trees with it when my huskvarnna 440 was down
Nick, what brand of premix oil do you use in your saw?
Thank you. Hello from a Serb from far away Crna Gora.
If you take care of that saw it can do a massive amount of work. I used one for limbs after I fell the logs with a bigger saw..
0:00 Great video! I have an MS 170. Great saw.
Stihl make the best looking chainsaws imo
Someone needs to tell him the difference between cheap and inexpensive. He keeps saying it's their cheapest saw. Cheap indicates quality. Inexpensive is cost.
But it is a cheap saw. Saying inexpensive is just trying to cover for it.
No he was correct. It is a POS. I bought one about 2 years ago and you get a good shoulder work out pulling the cord to start it. Mine has about 1 hour of run time total. When you run it about 10 mins it stops like you cut the switch off and will not start again until it cools completely. I'm not sure how far I can throw it, but I will never have another stihl. I have a Husqvarna 353 that I have used for 20 years and it start on the second pull.
@@redblazehorse Well Not Everyone Has Trouble , I think they have sold many & Most guys like them ! Especially all the Pro Tree Service Guys ! Had Mine 17 Yrs & ran & started good all those years ! !
@@redblazehorseyou probably need to tune it man. some saws come out of the factory a little rich
I have an ms 661 with a 36" bar and I'm looking at reviews of little saws for fun while my arms recover hahaha
I just bought a Stihl MS 170. I can't wait to try it out this week!
Been using the pre - Mix 40 to 1 Small cans , most hardware , Home Depot & Dealers sell it ! Not as cheap , but has Non 0xy , high octane & Stabilizer in the Mix ! Best luck with your new Ms 170 !
I just bought a ms170 . I’m only going to use it once in awhile. I only plan on using the premixed 50 :1 gas and of course the recommended bar oil.
I Use the small cans pre - mix 40 : 1 Runs good !
Hey thanks for the video and it helps me because I found an old 170 and I got it running but it needs a chain and you told me in this video thanks
Got the ms170 last summer love the little saw it just little picky about the fuel but run non ethanol high test gas does good
I just bought a used one for $100 in pretty new condition, It started right up, I just started my own little tree company and need something to cut down my trailer, I do mostly Trim Jobs so I'm hoping this will be perfect for what I need. I'm very excited to put a new chain on it and let it rip
i us the 170 for underbrushing daily for 6-7 h almost nonstop only problem is it will throw its chain 1-2 times a day when it catches on a smaller stick. very light and easy to work with all day
Thanks!
Great review I use a 170 mini boss and I totally agree
That`s what I needed to know. TY
My 170 wouldn't idle without stalling until I ran 2 tanks of TruFuel 50:1 through it.
After that it runs great!
Just got one two days ago. Had fuel that might be a month old. I use it in two other weed eaters with no trouble. I started to have issues with this brand new saw. Bought new no ethanol gas, new oil, and it started to run better. Somewhat disappointed that it seems that temperamental. I'm going to buy new gas every time from now on. Only paid $150 so it was a heck of a deal, so I thought.
Might have to try TruFuel.
@@libertynindependence Except for the little bit of Stihl fuel the dealer put in it,I've only used Trufuel 50:1.
After a few tanks it runs great!
@@libertynindependence Mine likes to bog when you first give it throttle in cold start situations. It does that no matter what fuel I use. I'm convinced this problem wouldn't exist if the saw had a primer bulb.
Thanks
I would like.tp see you show how to sharpen the chain and how to check and set chain dog height.
Bought an MS391 with a 20 inch bar about a month and a half ago, first saw I bought. Now I'm looking at buying an MS880 magnum with a 59/60 inch bar.
not a big fan of your back eh?
If you need a quick solution for tree limbs, this is the way to go.
Hello
I have a stil 170 when it starts go out, if I do not accelerate, how many turns against the clock to adjust its carburetor
thanks for your video
I have to say, any person needs safety training. This saw would cause a person serious injury like any other saw.
FIRST Time in 17 Yrs. Would not Start ! Well I think from looking at These Videos I Think I Flooded It ! But Took it to Stihl Dealer . Says it will probably cost $ 110.00 do do Carb . job. But its Been a Very Good Saw ( 17 Yrs. of Use ) .
Can you fit a metal chain catcher to these?
Any big difference from the 170 to 180 ?
What is the biggest tree you recommend curtain with a 170
Need to know what position the brake is suppose to be when starting the model 170
Put gloves on and move the chain. if moved, brakes is not on.
Full Forward .
last stihl I owned was an 010AV. Should never have sold it. Here in Australia, MS 180 $ 299, MS 181 $ 449. ( RR ). is there enough difference between the two to rationalise the extra $ 150 ?
i have one, and it's a door stop right now. used it a few times (about 3) and now it doesn't start. can't get it to start. i tried every troubleshoot and nothing...nada!
most hardware stores have a small engine tuning department and they can probably help you out
I know the recommended range is 12-16" but would I be able to run an 18" Stihl Rollomatic-E Bar on this chainsaw?
No
Will this saw cut 30 c/m jarrah ok ??
I started my saw and must have left the brake on while operating it the chain sprocket won’t move any ideas what I did with it
Pull Brake lever Back !
Can we cut tree logs for wood supply with this saw ms170
Yes .
i dont get this ...my ms 170 has smaller blade ?...i order replacement blade but they are too long ....is this machine able to take 2 sizes of chain ??
What chain are you having a problem with? I use the 16inch still that it came with and a 14 inch Oregon S50 bar and chain.
Bought one yesterday. Where is that accent from??
I have an ms170 that point blank refuses to start and run air filter is good new plug fitted and gapped fresh fuel in tank but just wont go, the saw has run about 2hrs in its entire life and purchased back in 2004 any idea how to get it going?
Allan Wilson give ot to me, I can make ot run and use it
I had trouble getting mine started too, but I took it to a Stihl dealer and one of the guys showed me what I was doing wrong. When you attempt to start it, you should only try 3 pulls when it is in the cold start position. Then move it to the warm start and it should start after a couple of pulls. Most people will try to leave it in the cold start position until they hear it attempt to start.... that will flood it... trust me. So give it 3 pulls in cold start and then move it up. I told one of the guys that I work with because he was having the same issues that I was having. He went home and got it started with no issues. I was very disappointed at first because I thought I had purchased a saw that I wasn't going to be able to use, but boy was I wrong. Good luck!! I hope this helped
@@kathyjones5104 great tip I’ll try it . I did just that kept it in cold start and kept pulling so flooded it I guess
They ( Saws ) Do Flood Easy ( Echo & Stihl ) So take Note ! !
@@pablo9364 Flooded ! !
should be called ms160 and needs primer bulb own 4 of them good saw
I just bought one, I was told to get the Stihl HP Ultra and mix with 1 gallon of (non-ethnol fuel). What type of fuel would that be?
Premium 91 octaine, is usually non-ethanol, at least in my area. But ask at the station. Ethanol destroys the fuel lines, carb diaphragms, and reduces the oils ability to lubricate, it also causes the fuel to deteriorate faster. If your only using your saw on a casually basis, I would recomend one of the premixed engineered fuels like Stihl Motomix, or Trufuel.

@@davidoakley3256 thanks for the reply. There's isn't any gas stations with 91 around in NC. Is 100 octane non ethnol?
@@ilovemesomeoutdoors9938 don't know, we don't have 100 at the pump in Canada.
@@ilovemesomeoutdoors9938 100 octane should be no ethanol. I believe it was 103(?) octane that people have suggested for pro saws, which is no ethanol.
gas and oil mix?
Yes the saw uses a 50:1 mix of gas:oil to run. Also needs bar oil for the chain
40 : 1 Pre - Mix cans sold Many places !
I have nothing but the problems with this saw. I’m trying to use it couple times a year and I can get it working for about 10-15 min before it’s stalling.
WoW , Not Good , Should take it to dealer & Have them Ck. it out . I do find they flood easy . Borrowed my Bro. In Laws Echo & Had trouble starting . Found out they too Flood Easy !
hooray for the screw caps.. HATE those "quick spring loaded gizmo" .. and I use chain saws every day.. Boo to the guy who invented those annoying stihl spring loaded caps .. IMHO
Was wondering About Those ?
It has a very bad air filter system.
Why Say That , I Clean it in gas .
One very important question is do you know JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR?
you lost me at once a year...
Or just start it with the chain brake off. Simple
This saw is one of the worst I’ve ever used.Constant oil problems.Very bad quality. Don’t buy.
Yeah they're fairly rubbish, can definitely do better out there.
Not True MANY Sold All Over The World ! Pro Tree cutters use Large & Small Stihl Saws ! !
