This video is one of if not the first end-user reviews of the all-new Stihl MS 162 chainsaw. This saw will replace the MS 170 and it has more models in the series which will replace most of the smaller chainsaws in the Stihl lineup. I bought this saw because it was on sale at the Stihl dealer for $179.99. It is a great little unit.

at 5:13 you did something and the saw ran way better, was the chain too loose or was it too tight?

Nice video. All the clear plastic tank setup is interesting. Even the Buckin spikes are plastic and attached.

The 170 is not too different. It is just what you see from the outside. It is that way so that you can see all of your gas and oil. The 170's oil and gas were only visible through a little window.

Nice review, just bought one of these here in the UK, thanks.

It looks ok for the price. It's not a professional saw and should not be compared to one. For a novice homeowner it probably feels mighty. I don't think it will last long bucking firewood but cutting down a couple of trees each year probably works fine.

Hey, i never used one, bought this, new, will not start? Any advice..Thanks

@RoyalLawnCareandFirewood Ай бұрын

You probably flooded it. I just made a video about flooding a saw. Start it as it says in the manual. Did you add special oil to the gas?

@@RoyalLawnCareandFirewood Hey Oliver, thanks for reply, i used a Sthil Motomix, cannot get it to burp so a bit confused, i will look at the video you made. I will let you know, thanks Oliver.

@@RoyalLawnCareandFirewood I got it going, works great, thanks, i used the motomix this time around, not using it loads, just cutting free logs i get here and there.

Flip the kill switch, set the choke, and pull starter rope.

A used 028 for the same price would have been my choice- heck even an 011 I’d be happy with.

@RoyalLawnCareandFirewood Ай бұрын

I like my 009LEQ and 020AVPE. However, I bought it because I wanted one and it was on sale.

It’s fun to buy something brand new. Enjoy!

Did you say it doesn’t have a sprocket at all on the bar?

@@michaelalancaveney2298I think he said so. It's the same with my bar for the ms 881.

Yep. But they are super expensive for a noob. This video is aimed at the consumer looking for a machine to cut wood over the weekend or maybe buck the occasional dead branch or blowdown.

Weak.. Prefer husqvarna 135 mark II! There is also power and speed in it

The 162 is much slower than the 170 and nearly weighs two pounds more. In fact the 162 is only a half pound lighter then a 50cc MS 261 professional saw. Stihl has went backwards with these new entry level saws imo. In fact when my 180 quits running I think I'm going to get a Holtzforma MS 180 clone as opposed to buying the new 162, 172 or 182.

@whatnot987 Ай бұрын

And, I'll add, the 162, 172, 182's only have 1 bar nut, as opposed to the traditional 2 bar nuts that are on the 170 and 180.

@UCZ3vGRZxLdjUZFsUyaTLhIQ There is NOTHING wrong with a single stud. The 200t, 009, 011, 010, 012, 211, early 024, and more.

@whatnot987 Ай бұрын

@@RoyalLawnCareandFirewood. If you think one bar nut is good enough that's all that matters. Stihl thinks the same thing. :) I'm more comfortable with two bar nuts for safety reasons. Regardless of that, these new entry level saws are much slower and heavier compared with the prior generation (170,180). I see it as a step backwards for Stihl. Thanks for the video. Take care.

Estou com uma Ms 170 a dez anos, tenho uma Ms 250, e outra Ms 170 nova na caixa , não pretendo compra essas novas gerações de Stihl.
