On paper the MS162 is a definite improvement on vibration levels over both the MS170 & MS171. 162 has the same displacement, weight and power-weight ratio of the 170, (the 171 had a very slight increase of displacement but curiously less power). All three saws share the same chain pitch and gauge, with the same recommended bar lengths. Sound levels: 170_ 111 ~ 100dB 171_ 112 ~ 99dB 162_ 113 ~ 100dB Vibration levels: 170_ R5.2 ~ L5.5 171_ R4.0 ~ L4.5 162_ R3.2 ~ L3.0 A friend has an old MS170 and the very few times I’ve been forced to use it, I’ve considered to be a real bone-shaker. So the 162 would be that much easier to use on longer days. Someone’s going to ask if I’m going to buy a 162? Well maybe if I start carving. As it is, I’ve got two small saws and a medium size saw; and that will do for now.

The improved anti vibration of the MS162 is very noticeable and does make for a smoother cutting experience.

Great video! I like the side by side comparison. Not liking the look on air filter of MS162. Purchased 2 more MS170's yesterday and glad I do not need to buy this new line up. PS I have a MS260 for backup.

Looks good! Not as quick cutting wood compared to the 170, but quieter and more fuel efficient I suppose. Keeping my 170, might pick up one up to have another light use saw

Thanks for the feedback. When running the saw, you can tell a difference in vibration due to the spring anti vibration system, which is definitely a nice upgrade.

How easy is it to get a little more performance out of the 162?

@HillyRidgeSalesService 8 күн бұрын

Hello PJB. That's a great question. There isn't really anything you can do to get more performance out of the 162. If you would occasionally need more power, the MS 172 might be a better option.

This chainshaw shyyyt not set carburetor jacks idle high and low fuel air. I have Stihl 880 and 171 more better

Hello, I did not complete a fuel efficiency test. I can, however, tell you that the MS 162 should be more efficient due to it having improved emissions. Additionally, the MS 162 has a 13.5 oz fuel tank as opposed to the MS 170 having an 8.5 oz fuel tank.

I've just bought the MS162 today just for some log cutting at home. Brilliant piece of kit

Nice video but why didn’t you offer an opinion of one over the other. I just purchased a 162 to replace my 170 but now I’m having second thoughts on the 162.

@tuberocker69 28 күн бұрын

I'd definitely keep the 170, but that's just me

@garys8754 25 күн бұрын

@@tuberocker69 Yup. I returned the 162 two days ago. When I went to the dealer I was semi apologetic about having to return it and the owner said Don't worry about it, you're not the first one. Nuff sed.

Ms 170 is no longer being made. My local dealer said 162 was its replacement
