I keep getting questions about which chainsaws to buy when you're starting out. With these 3 saws I feel you would have covered all your needs when starting out as an arborist. Do you agree?
I recently bought a Stihl 500i. I've been logging and cutting firewood to sell since 1968, so I'm not new to chainsaws and especially Stihl Chainsaws. I found the 500i with the 25 inch bar to be too much saw for me, now, at 75 years of age. I loved the way it burned through Douglas Fir when blocking logs 20 inches in diameter. But, besides the weight, I hated trying to restart the saw after putting it down after extended cutting then letting the saw cool down. It would then not start. This happened again and again. Yesterday I bought another 362 Stihl with a carburetor to pair up with my older 362. Those saws are just right for me, and they START EVERY TIME.
I knew 2 of them. 261 Is the best of the best in my opinion. 500i Would be my big saw all day everyday in every way. and yea I said 201T. Right now I have 362 261 old Trusty 036 and a ms180 I use for limbing. and Light stuff. I also like that I can cut smaller trees and not worry about hitting the dirt or rocks getting low to the ground. I dont like putting my 261 near the dirt im a wuss lol.. I have a 20 inch bar for my 261 and a 16 inch bar. Man it flys with the 16... Its a beast. IF im cutting 18 inch 20 inch stuff I use my bigger saw so there is No reason for me to have a 3 20 inch bars on 3 saws thats why I like the 16 on my 261 keeps it Super light and it just RIPS.
Great recommendation video. I recently got a 400c to fit between the 261 and 500i/661. The 400 is an amazing medium saw with aftermarket exhaust/intake filter.
Close captioning thinks this is a cooking show. Every time you say "saws", it says "sauce"! I couldn't stop laughing. We use ht131, 201tcm, 500i, and occasionally (rarely actually) an old 880. There's also a few others such as a 362cmq and an old Homelite that doesn't have a model number on it anymore, but those are usually only picked up when the others pinch or there's some other problem. The pole saw helps in more situations than we ever thought would happen. I strongly recommend getting one if you're in the business. I hope to someday drop the gasoline top handle in favor of an electric. The 362 used to do almost all the work outside of top handle work, but the 500i is almost the same weight but stronger, so now it does almost all the work. I haven't found a species that is too dense even with a 36" bar buried. If I have to go bigger than 36" which doesn't happen very often, then out comes the old 880, and the whining and complaining happens because I don't like using it. The first cut I did with it many years ago was fun because it was a new big saw, and every cut since then was not fun at all due to the weight.
You are spot on! Oh how I wish I could get my hands on an MS200T. I saw one recently on Facebook marketplace that looked like it had been run over by a truck, and they were asking 1,000 USD! 😱😱😱 By the way, how can we buy some of your merch??? I reached out to the moose approves, but didn't get any response.
I agree with you. To get started, a small one like the ms 200T chainsaw is enough for pruning and the ms 500 i for felling large trees. Ciao from Italy.
So happy for you to start your own business . I think you are bang on with bar length for your 261 , It is my go to reliable saw . I have not tried the 500 as I have a lot of larger Husqvarna saws at this time . Great video . Thanks form Canada .
G'day FLJ, that's a nice collection. and now you're on your own way in control of your destiny, if the ms 661 is a girl my advice is to hang on tight because they can bite ! Do you know which pattern of axe that is on your top ?
Great choices to cover all the bases. I would do it a bit different Husqvarna style. T540iXP battery for climber with 14” bar, 550XP Mark II with 18” bar, 572XP with 24” bar and the new insanely powerful 592XP with a 28” bar.
Do you want a forever man. A organic gardening farming firewood. 10 acres of organic gardens. 46 acres of organic gardens. 200 fruit trees. Do you want to be loved by one man. Matthew. 26. My son. A homestead. And a UA-cam channel.
Husqvarna makes an excellent top handle electric that many professionals use every day of their lives. I love Stihl internal combustion engines, but Husq wins on the top handle electric. I''ll likely buy one; not sure why I haven't yet, but haven't been willing to set the 201tcm down yet.
@@iffykidmn8170 I agree, but I said the same when delaying my purchase of the 500i vs. carbureted saws, and I'm glad I eventually made the purchase anyway. When you use something for most of a day almost every day, it's worth it to get what does the job best. I'm seriously considering it because it's quiet for when I'm working in residential neighborhoods in the morning, it's light, and I don't have to pull start it. I'd really love to see a bungee strap doubling as a power cord for a backpack battery. That would make an electric top handle super light. I would easily pay as much as I did for the 500i for a system like that.
@@happycamper6352 August Hunicke? ran a Husky 540i for awhile with umbilical cord with a battery on his climbing harness for awhile, He still uses the 540i but I never heard why he quit using the umbilical cord. Now I see him more often than not running a Echo 2511 with 1/4pitch and Panther bar. Last I looked at the 540i with charger and 2 batteries I believe right around $1000 US.
Hi from Norway. Whats your opinion on HQ. I am a landowner and a hobby logger. Selling around 300m³ of pine trees a year. I really like the HQ 550, 560 better fuelcaps😂 but also faster revs. I really like this when limbing. Yes they are heavier i know. Intrested to hear your opinion. I also have most of the stihl saws too. I like both brands. My 462cm is my favorit. Its one og the few stihl sawn in the HQ rev territory. I take the 462 over the 500 because its less bulky when limbing😊 Good chanel.
Great choices! Your 200T is in great shape. Here in the states I would choose a ported regular carb ms261 as I prefer an 18"-20" light bar for topping. Have fun!
I've been using chainsaws for roughly 45 years now and still have 5 of them. At times I've tried other brands but have always come back to Stihl and have been disappointed with anything else I've tried. I'm getting too old to start my bigger saws now though one I've had for over 40 years has the same compression it had when I bought it. I just can't start it these days so I experimented with a Makita 36 volt battery saw mainly because I was already using the battery system with other tools. I should have followed my instincts and bought a Stihl as the makita is useless! I'm about to trade one of my bigger saws in for Stihl battery saw, probably a 220C.
MS 200 T☑️ MS 261☑️ MS 500i 🔲🤷♂️ I just built me a 241 from scratch this is a fine tool too! Perfect for smaller trees. Almost the power of the 261, but lighter.
Bahh, modern Stihl saws are just a pile of plop. Go old school, either a ported husqvarna 372xp, or if in small softwoods a modified 254xp. Both brilliant saws that will outlast, and often out cut most of the equivalent offerings of today.
Holsfmara make a exact copy of the 200t, That be told , it has problems with there rubber mounts , and advise replacing with Stihl ones , The 500i is a verry thirsty saw
Well, based on this and a few other vids, I was treated to the 261 by the wife. I'm now looking for some worthy opponents in my copse so I can use it in anger.🙂
My lady ,how many chaunsaw tht you make a collector,can you tell me all cc tht you got,couse i want to take the oder at my friend shop,in malaysia,i fill great when got a lot of chainsaw in my houuse house,just like you ,can cut a lot of tree ,aswome
Great line up in choices I’ve been in tree care since. 1989 and your choices are all very similar to the same sizes top handle medium and large size saw most tree work can be done with theses choices 👍🏼🙂 Joe from California USA 😉
881 with a 6 foot bar. No need for any other saw :P In all seriousness, I'm on the fence between the 500i and the 462. That one less pound makes the 462 feel a lot more climbable, at the same time, it feels a little weak for big ground work. Maybe 462 and just don't accept giant felling jobs until you can afford a 661.
I have for my business the msa 151t witch is god for the smal things like bushes and tree care. also i juse the husq 540t for tree felling by climbing. than is there the ms 271... this saw is a bad kompromis but i` get her as a present. and at least my big love the ms 500i "the beast".
Congrats on your business! Its pretty neet to see female conter parts doing forestry work, what part of the world are you working from? Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦 👊
Hey Felixia 👋🏻 Nice to see ya here again! Hope the new business venture is going well. It’s been a while since I’ve seen ya. Guess you’ve been dialing in your new business strategy. Anyway, looking stunning as always! 😉 Stay safe out there! And best of luck to ya moving foreword!!
Wow wow wow smileaf good to see you back on video land lol . Back here in new Jersey those saws would be a good starting kit . With a lot of huge red oaks here im running 661 s n 500i n 460 s the most . Keep cutting girl 🌲
As a firewood cutter my favorite saw is a 272XP with a twenty inch light bar, for me it just does everything well, felling limbing and bucking. This season I will be running a 371XP for the first time, looking forward to it.
Great name for your company! Love it 😍. I almost chose the same saws, only difference is that I chose the MS150t as tophandle saw, because I wanted the lightes saw when climbing. It also works GREAT and I can even top trees with this little baby. For the bigger saws, I have exactly the same!
Excellent choice, I would have chosen ms 261 ms 400 and ms 500i. I happened to cut a 1.37 meter diameter plant with the 500i without any problem, I think it's the best chainsaw I've ever owned and used!
That 500i is a joy to run, when I was first starting out and looking at saws to buy I watched a lot of your review videos! Congratulations on starting your own company too!
Young lady I love Stihl chainsaws although I was very impressed with you and the saws ( I think the Stihl company would be missing a great opportunity to get you in there advertising) what a fresh change in people using Stihl saws . I'm going to go buy a new Stihl tomorrow even though I don't need anymore. See what I mean. Good luck and thank you from NC
For this kind of soft wood you mostly have - you can easily put a bigger bar on the 500i. With a 50cm/20" bar you can easily fell the 2,5 sized tree. If you need any help, let me know.
Very good and sensible choices.👍🏻😊 If you are planning to do some milling, you might need one more saw.🤔 P.S. that back wall looks perfect place to put some "logging related" artefacts on display.🤩 Greetings from Finland.🇫🇮🌲🌲🌲
Great video. I'd also suggest if you're on a budget, the 194T can be a good first top handle saw to take up in the tree. It's what I've been using for a year and a half now.
For our forests in northern Sweden I like the same sizes of chainsaws as you. Stihl 201 C-M, light and nimble, but very "plastic" Husqvarna 550 XPG, really like the design, how it screams and how everything fit together. ? (would like an Stihl 500i but I cant find the motivation just yet, in addition that is would be fun:-)
I'm an echo and husqvarna man , however I have nothing bad to say about Stihl I just don't like them (with the exception of the 400c and 444 ) other than that I've just never been able to have them feel right in my hands. and my saws of choice are my 550xp, my 7310p , my 620p and my jred 2172 (husky 372) and for the big big stuff I have a 592 xp on the way
I am a old woods man, from northern New York. Never climbed up a tree, you have me on that. Back in the day. We, my dad and I. We used 041, 045. To fell trees. I still have a 041. To buck up on the landing. Part’s are very hard to find. I just bought a ms391 Starting to get used to it. A bit of a change
What about fuel economy? I stick to my old 026 and 260 for as long as I get parts. Those saws are about 30 and 20 years old but still working perfectly. Every part except from a few nuts and bolts have probably been changed multiple times as I'm working 6-8 hours a day with the chainsaw most of the year. All Stihl resellers advise not to use regular petrol mixed with 2-stroke-oil for the new saws. I could buy a couple 261s a year for the extra cost of the recommended environmentally friendly fuel.

Great name for your company! Love it 😍. I almost chose the same saws, only difference is that I chose the MS150t as tophandle saw, because I wanted the lightes saw when climbing. It also works GREAT and I can even top trees with this little baby. For the bigger saws, I have exactly the same!
Thank you! I really like using the battery saws when climbing as well!
@@Femalelumberjack Yes I am still waiting for the new MS 220T. That will be my next saw 😍
I have two Husqvarna chainsaws model 357Xp and 572 XP amazing saws cut fast.. Legend saws.. I work only whit Husqvarna Company 🤝💪💪💪💪💪
Excellent choice, I would have chosen ms 261 ms 400 and ms 500i. I happened to cut a 1.37 meter diameter plant with the 500i without any problem, I think it's the best chainsaw I've ever owned and used!
I've got those 3 as well. An incredible line up for the firewood cutter.
Yes it really is a great saw!
@@Femalelumberjack The best!!!
Nice saws, I love the older 0 series Stihl. Lately I've been using the 660 with a 25' bar. But she's a heavy girl 🌲🪓
So many nice saws!
That 500i is a joy to run, when I was first starting out and looking at saws to buy I watched a lot of your review videos! Congratulations on starting your own company too!
My favorite chainsaw...one that run great and is razor sharp....Shoe
ps...Stihl or Husqvarna thank you very much...
Young lady I love Stihl chainsaws although I was very impressed with you and the saws ( I think the Stihl company would be missing a great opportunity to get you in there advertising) what a fresh change in people using Stihl saws . I'm going to go buy a new Stihl tomorrow even though I don't need anymore. See what I mean. Good luck and thank you from NC
Haha thank you! Enjoy your new saw 😉
@@Femalelumberjack 🙂
Good video good luck starting your company
Thank you
Husqvarna is the Best 😉
Good choices , the biggest isn't always the best ! Still have Timber ? Nice dog !
Yes I do! She’s wonderful
For this kind of soft wood you mostly have - you can easily put a bigger bar on the 500i. With a 50cm/20" bar you can easily fell the 2,5 sized tree. If you need any help, let me know.
Nice recommendations
Very good and sensible choices.👍🏻😊
If you are planning to do some milling, you might need one more saw.🤔
P.S. that back wall looks perfect place to put some "logging related" artefacts on display.🤩
Greetings from Finland.🇫🇮🌲🌲🌲
Great video. I'd also suggest if you're on a budget, the 194T can be a good first top handle saw to take up in the tree. It's what I've been using for a year and a half now.
That’s a very good point! Thank you
For our forests in northern Sweden I like the same sizes of chainsaws as you.
Stihl 201 C-M, light and nimble, but very "plastic"
Husqvarna 550 XPG, really like the design, how it screams and how everything fit together.
? (would like an Stihl 500i but I cant find the motivation just yet, in addition that is would be fun:-)
What do you have instead? A 572?
Nothing larger then the 550 :-(
But who knows what will happen.....
Same I will choose the same saws
I'm an echo and husqvarna man , however I have nothing bad to say about Stihl I just don't like them (with the exception of the 400c and 444 ) other than that I've just never been able to have them feel right in my hands. and my saws of choice are my 550xp, my 7310p , my 620p and my jred 2172 (husky 372) and for the big big stuff I have a 592 xp on the way
I am a old woods man, from northern New York. Never climbed up a tree, you have me
on that. Back in the day. We, my dad and I.
We used 041, 045. To fell trees. I still have a
041. To buck up on the landing. Part’s are
very hard to find. I just bought a ms391
Starting to get used to it. A bit of a change
Wish you the best..
Thank you
It is great what you are doing . Keep it up . You should be running Husqvarna chainsaws...lol
What about fuel economy? I stick to my old 026 and 260 for as long as I get parts. Those saws are about 30 and 20 years old but still working perfectly. Every part except from a few nuts and bolts have probably been changed multiple times as I'm working 6-8 hours a day with the chainsaw most of the year. All Stihl resellers advise not to use regular petrol mixed with 2-stroke-oil for the new saws. I could buy a couple 261s a year for the extra cost of the recommended environmentally friendly fuel.
I was going to get a 261c but I went with the 550xp mark ii, I love it though, I imagine they are close to the same
They’re extremely close - both great saws
What size Silky Zubat do you use??? I saw a 330mm & 270mm, I’m looking to get one but wanted to see what size you recommend……Thx
200T LMAO SMART WOMAN!!
Ok Im going Husky.
