    I have the 170 and I wish I got the 250. 170 bogs down very easy. Even put a 14in bar on it.

      I find that the 170 is good for small limbs and I keep that on the wheeler.
      Also the 170 comes stock with a narrow curved bar. You can upgrade to a size up thicker bar...that way it may not bog as much....
      The 170 stock bar seems to easily get pinched when cutting wood too
      Thanks for watching us!

      @@Alaskan6packwould you have to upgrade the chain as well with the thicker bar?

    I'm not a chainsaw enthusiast, but this was very informative. Thanks for sharing

    Those are all great saws for life on the homestead. We’re arborists and own/operate a tree service company so obviously we have a larger arsenal but our favourites for daily use on the job site right now are the 261c and the 462c. They are used all day long. Going to get a 500i this summer I think for the fleet. We love the classics like the 044, 066, the 880. We have a lot of battery products now too! Especially for climbing. Husqvarna has been dominating the battery products so we have a few of those as well as some big husky gas saws. John used to be a logger out west in northern Alberta in the winters and his felling saw was a husqvarna 365. Great video and we share a mutual love for chainsaws 😄

      Oh wow that's neat! So you both are very familiar with saws obviously! Well thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed the video... as you know saws are awesome- but extremely dangerous!

    I don’t use chainsaws but still watched. Looks like you did a good review.

    Yep I'd agree 👍 nice review. Great little saws, I would have to say my 170 is the best $ 299aus I've ever spent on something for what it can actually do.

    You can buy a kit from Stihl for the 170 to put the chain tensioner on the side about 25$ I did it on mine.

    Good review. I have 3 saws but not a Stihl. I relly appreciate a good running saw regardless of brand.

    They recommend 50:1, I believe from experts 40:1 is not harmful either. What is the logic of 100:1.?

    • @Alaskan6pack
      @Alaskan6pack  3 місяці тому

      I asked him and he said less smoke in your face...and a snapier saw...so that is his reasoning. Thanks for watching!😊

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
    King James Version
    13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
    14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. n Gods blessings over you .
