Stihl MS 170

Advantages: Ease
Design
Good start
Good saws
Almost does not vibrate
You can always find parts

Disadvantages: Not enough key bracket

Comment: I chose the most light saw up to 10 000r. As a result, between this calm and Hitachi, the calm turned out to be easier to buy.
I think that chainsaws have long reached the limit of perfection and differ only in quality, this calmness is fine with it. There is nothing more to write, everything likes sawing and sawing. The only thing that would add - any seat on the body to lock the key, it would be convenient.

If someone has it will be the first chainsaw (like mine), do not be lazy to read the instructions before starting. I read diagonally and burned the clutch a little)) But everything worked out, I managed to drown in time and let it cool.

Advantages: Lightweight
Powerful
Comfortable
Qualitatively build
Beautiful :)

Disadvantages: On the cold it starts hard
Expensive in 2016

Comment: Conceived to build a house from a bar. After construction, a lot of waste remains. Plus, at our request, near the abandoned plot, two almost adult birch trees cut down, so that they would not shade and did not fall down on the house at all. In this regard, there is a need for their own saw.
Stihl attracted a small weight (I saw - a girl)), reliability, firm. Considered analogues for 5000-6000 thousand - everywhere problems. That oil flows, it does not start, then something has fallen off and service is needed. In general, I realized that it is better to pay more, but to enjoy it more than to ply between the cottage and the workshop.
The oil consumption is small (4 tanks of gasoline), but the gasoline itself eats well so. But this is my first saw, before that there was only (and is) a trimmer out of gasoline tools. But here the power is different.
After each file you need to unscrew the cover and collect the sawdust with oil, but this is nonsense. The trimmer should also be cleaned from the grass cover. Yes, and nice white saw clean.
Echo trimmer. He has an easy start - a thing! Sthil has no such function. Sometimes a cold saw has to pull with all his might a dozen times. There are no problems with warmth.
The mentioned birch trees are 40 cm wide in the thickest part - for the entire length of the tire. Sawed well, although gasoline took a lot.
After birches, I began to trash after building a house. Square bars sawed with a bang, about every little thing and do not say :)
Probably so on all saws, but in thick grass it is problematic to saw a tree - the grass is wound on a chain and stops it. The same inconvenience with branches, where dense foliage. But this is a niggle.
Made a ladder at a change house with the help of this saw. And then the old completely collapsed.
By the end of the summer I got used to the saw completely, stopped being afraid of it (otherwise they write such horrors in the instructions!) And went to abandoned areas to cut the approaching small trees.
In short, happy shopping and recommend it to everyone!)

Advantages: Saws.

Comment: Well, so quickly sawed. Tank four until exhausted, normal flight) A little stretched chain-pulled.

Advantages: Comfortable, it lies well in the hands, wind up as a watch, light.

Disadvantages: Price due to the exchange rate of the ruble.

Comment: Long chose between electric and chainsaw. This is my first saw. The choice was made in favor of the gasoline saw. I build myself a bath (timber 150x150), sawing for my purposes all with a bang. I chose between 180 and 170. The only thing that made me think about the choice between the saws was the assembly (170-China, 180-USA), plus the price for 2500 rubles. cheaper. And the difference in 0.3 horses, for me, is not critical. Saw happy as an elephant. The build is great.

Advantages: easy start, comfortable, easy, ergonomic

Disadvantages: need to clean under the lid a mixture of sawdust and oil after abundant sawing

Comment: A net score of 5 s +. Workmanship, like a sewing machine Singer. Everything is fitted, where it is necessary to polish, where it is necessary to fit. Holding is a pleasure. It is started up purely according to the instructions, not once after wintering in an unheated room for 2 years there were no excesses. Moderate oil consumption - approximately - a tank for 3 tanks of gasoline. He started, let him warm up for a minute, then saws perfectly. I use it for firewood and sawdust trees, as well as for the construction of summer stalls from stumps. In general, this saw costs your money, if you think to save 1.5-2t.r when buying, do not even think, take this. Separately, I want to note the tool in the kit - a screwdriver combined to remove the cover and tension the chain.

Advantages: Excellent build, quality at height, great start, great saws, small size.
Control of one lever (very much), the chain oil does not leak during storage.
Clear instruction, figured out quickly (this is my first saw).

Disadvantages: Not.

Comment: This is my first saw, very long time choosing for small works in the country, fully copes with its task.
Tires of 35 cm for rolls of old and not necessary trees suffice.
Drovishki cook the most.
After a few cuts, he pulled the chain up.
Yes, the toothed emphasis is plastic, the iron is placed on top, it is not included in the kit, it is called (STIPPER TOOTH STIHL MS 170,180), from 70-180 rub. plus two mounting screws, I do not know minus sawing it or not, I immediately bought it myself.
In MS 180 there are two horses, almost two here, I don’t think this is critical.
It quickly gets dirty during work, it is not difficult to clean it even pleasantly.
A worthy tool, I think it's better to spend 7000 rubles. Than 3500 for example, but be confident in the manufacturer.

Advantages: It starts quickly, saws well, chain oil does not spill when the engine is off, there is no perceptible vibration, I used the saw myself for the first time - I figured out pretty quickly (good instruction). Good build quality.

Disadvantages: It is quickly soiled, quite often it is necessary to tighten a chain (it is visible it will not work yet).

Comment: I use in the garden for felling old or unnecessary garden trees and cutting them for firewood, I saw old wood for kindling, etc., for these needs, the power is enough, I am satisfied with what I wrote to the shortcomings - in fact I sucked from the finger). Fuel consumption seems a bit high, but there is nothing to compare with, and perhaps just running-in goes.
