COMPLETE and HONEST Review of STIHL Chainsaw lineup

I am having an issue with my stihl 16 " ms211 chain saw. The master throttle lever slides past another lever on the carburettor. I have taken it back 5 times to rectify the issue. I asked the stihl dealers to do a report on it and notify the Stihl head office that they have a faulty engineering issue, I was told, that would require to much paper work. Warranty has just expired, the chain saw is back in the work shop to fix the problem, but now they tell me that there is some other issue with the fuel supply, without even looking at it. I was told to leave it in the workshop for a service, which I have done. I am going back there today to inspect the saw myself because I believe that the master throttle lever has broken off, because on one occasion when I took the saw in to be repaired they told me that they had fixed the problem by bending the lever.

I researched the saw I have before I bought them, to get the most benefits and use for the dollar. I have 4 saws at this time looking to get a fifth. I have both still and husqvarna dealerships locally so I have both brands. A stilh 261c with a 18" bar, husqvarna 562xp with a 24" bar, husqvarna T540 with a 14" bar, and a stihl 131 polesaw. Looking to get the stihl 500i with a 28" light bar for the bigger trees I come across. This assortment handles most of the timber I cut with the exception of the largest trees. I will note that the top handle saw is alot more useful than I had anticipated, it's great for both trimming and limbing down trees.

262 and i500 should be in the line up also

The 881 is an absolute Behemoth of a saw. 😂

Don't buy this brand not worth it many of them don't start . Garbage

I can't pull start any Stihl saw in a dealer, so I bought a Husqvarna 460 Rancher instead.

Nice job. You left a hole in the lineup at the 3hp/45cc level. The MS250 is a popular saw. It is 1lb lighter than the MS251 Farm Boss, and very close to the same displacement/power. I have no experience with the larger saws - I have taken down a few giant trees in the Adirondacks with my MS250, so I likely will never need anything larger.

Thank you soo much for the nice Video man this helped me out to choose a saw much better! 💯👆🏼 You rock man!

Wait next 270 um ya you missed 1 of the best saws!! Nope I don't mean a 260 either I mean the 250!

Stihl has always problems with starting. My biggest mistake was to buy stihl products.

Anyone run 034 super???

500i and 461 ?

Thanks! Awesome video... Was super helpful and very well done!

Very informative! Good info!👍

Wish you had the 880/881 in the review. That’s what I use for milling. Beast of a saw thou. Almost wish I had the 660/661 but then I remember that I ain’t soft

Nice job. How ever the 261 has to be in the debate. A 50cc saw with 4.0bhp and its only 10.2lbs. Its a saw that can kick ass all day and it never feels to heavy.. No its not going to blast a though a 24 in oak tree like a 661 but for a 50cc saw its amazing. I have owned all the saws you have here but not the electric. The 462 is my favorite so far. It really really cuts.. BUT its expensive.

😮😮😮

Im a Husqvarna guy. I bought my 61 for $200. Have a few videos on it. Cheers

Ryobi is chainsaw brand? C'mon dude... Where is Dolmar, Pioneeer...

Nice comparison of different size chainsaws (regardless of the brand). Thanks for sharing!

I’ve had the 170 for years now and it’s been great for small stuff I’m thinking of buying the 271 farm boss I think it’s a perfect upgrade for the price but do I get the 18” or 20” bar

Great review thank you

Good job thank you. Shoe

Over all good review. Full of info for need to know.

You forgot a good one m261

The ms362 sux with anything more than 20 in on the bar

I love them all😂

I love the bonus girl and her dog at the end. She’s the Farm Boss
