Just bought one yesterday actually. Paid $250 plus an extra $50 for carrying case. I'm happy with this little saw. Almost bought a Husquavarna Rancher but I've always been more a Sthil person. The 455 Rancher was also $299, same amount I paid for the Sthil and case. Also got a 2 year warranty with it for buying an e extra few bottles of 2 cycle oil. Can't beat that, not even a Husky. No more woodcutting than I do it's all I need

I have a MS 311 but it is too heavy to raise over my head to branch out of fallen trees. I bought a MS 180C after a hurricane for that and now it is my favorite saw. Even my wife can start it. After a few months though, I changed out the quick chain tensioner for a traditional side scrench type tensioner. The quick chain tensioner becomes to difficult to use when it gets clogged with shavings. I fought it more than I used it. Many MS 180C owners change them out.

I just got one from my Still Dealer, I like it so far, don't run it out of gas then you will have a real hard time starting it. Good saw for the money. The guy at the shop when I got it said " it's for old men and girls" I said perfect, I'm a geezer, so I bought it

I have the exact chainsaw MS180C & when I press the gas all the way it shuts off same with my MS 251. They'll work a bit halfways pressed.Filters are clean new gas & oil, turned the L,H,LA on the 251.. On 180 H,L Adjustments, Had both for 3 yrs. I've used both for last 3 yrs, going for firewood in NM mountains..I dono what's going on..

How good are these saws , mines been under water in 2 floods now and all I have to do is change the airfilter add fresh fuel n bar oil and they fire straight back up , mine is the model with 2 nuts for the bar and same for the muffler box which has the removeable spark arrestor gauze... Today I fitted the 1123-007-1000 chain tensioner so I can adjust chain from the outside nut side and wow very nice 👌 , they should come factory with these 👍 Cheers great video keep up the good work 👏

My rotator cuffs are shot and I am unable to use my other saws. I am off-grid so my need to cut firewood is imperative. I've seen enough reviews on this saw and the MS 170 as well so when I discovered the EZ Start feature my mind was made up. Thanks to everyone making the videos and commenting to allow me to make an informed decision.

I also use vp ethanol, free fuel. Definitely if you don’t use it all the time and it’s going to sit a while, and there’s very little maintenance. By using pump gas that’s loaded with ethanol. It’s fine if you use it every day but if you leave it sit for a year like this fellow said, you may have problems. Great video.

First I would suggest you put the fuel cap on the 50:1 gas oil can before you start up the chainsaw before you try to start it and move the can out of your way and 2nd dont use the screwdriver-spark plug wrench to tighten the oil and fuel caps up because they have an oring under the head of the cap,just hand tighten them up

Telling people to buy premix gas is silly... go to the nearest gas station that has a 100% gasoline pump and pay $4 a gal or so... and a buck per gallon for oil, not $25 for a gallon can that's crazy.
@4x2WagonFamily
@4x2WagonFamily 2 жыл бұрын
Yup, it’s crazy I don’t disagree. If you’re disciplined to winterize your chainsaw after each use buying premix gas is ridiculous. But for folks who use the chainsaw once a year the premix and ethanol free gas makes sense because you can leave it in the tank and forget about it until next year and not worry that the gas will ruining your carburetor.

Micro adjustments 🙈 you passing out some wrong info in this video! The round plastic knob at the chain giver is not the chain tensioner! It’s the bar but that hold the bar in place! The chain tensioner is the small wheel with the +- symbols!
@thelatinist5024
@thelatinist5024 Жыл бұрын
Exactly. I have this same saw. Turning the handle on the side loosens the bar nut so that the bar can move in and out. To adjust the chain tension, you have to turn the little knob above it (the one he said was for micro adjustments). All the poster did was loosen his bar and then partially tighten it. He didn’t change the tension at all!

You should see my 35 year old stihl 038. Looks to be in the same condition as this saw. It's probably cut over 100 chords of fire wood. I love the saw so I take care of it. I have an 029 that I like the least of my saws. And I don't take care of it at all. And it shows.

I own the same saw and one word of caution, if you start your saw with the brake on, when it does start, never rev it up with the brake on. Also never let someone else use it without telling them how to start it. The chain on your saw is an .043 gauge 3/8 Picco while the MS211 is an .050 3/8 Picco. The MS211 shares the same drive sprocket as the MS180. My saw has the 18" .050 bar and chain and it runs awesome. Cuts like you wouldn't believe. One word of caution, don't go to a Stihl dealer and ask about changing it over. They might not be friendly towards the swap over.
