Stihl MS 250

Advantages: It is convenient to change and tighten the chain (unlike the partner and huksvarna). Original fuel and oil tank caps. Motor resource.

Disadvantages: The gasket between the muffler and the cylinder burns out (after 2-3 years of operation). The hose breaks. these are all little things.

Comment: I have two of them !!!!!! I've been using it for five years, I saw 250-300 cubic meters of birch firewood a year, each. I never let you down. Friends switched to similar devices. Do not pour the working off and the spindle into the oil tank - diesel with a bang, dilute gasoline with original oil.

Advantages: Saws and saws ... :) I bought 6 years ago for 11000. I wanted to buy MS180, but I bought this one and did not regret it ... power reserve with a not very sharp (dull) chain, oh, how important! :))) easily saws wood to 25 cm in diameter, provided that there is a live chain. with a dull and chipped chain, it also cuts surprisingly, since there is enough power, but not like a hot knife on butter ... A driftwood with a dull chain is sawing dry larch, sparks fly smoke, but it cuts! nothing broke ... chains, oil and gasoline ... chains are always bought by relatives ... Build quality is at a height, German assembly ... good strong plastic, forgives careless handling, shocks and falls from a height ... any frost, sawed even at -43 ... in the summer, in the heat, sawed for hours, does not overheat ...

Disadvantages: It does not always start up the first time, there is no fuel pumping, but this is corrected by pressing the "gas" 3-5 times before starting ...

Comment: Sawed three hundred old sleepers, several KAMAZ scraps of lumber, a couple of hundred thick birches, an old wooden house and outbuildings for firewood, built a new house (he sawed all materials only with calmness) about 60 cubic meters of forest, well, shrubs in the garden, etc. p ... for chain lubrication pour m8v or any pure engine oil, but even diesel ... only two-stroke gasoline in the proportions indicated on the canister by the manufacturer ... A real working saw, not a toy like MS180! I don't see the point of buying more and more powerful. there will be more weight, and when you have drunk for 10 hours in a row, then this one seems heavy ... although it depends on why to buy ... :) for home and construction just right! I wanted to buy a bigger tire right away, but I didn't buy it and I'm not going to, the standard length is enough for all my tasks ... very thick birch currencies once a year, and to dump and cut a tree with a diameter of 60-80 cm. in the butt of a standard tire is quite enough! In short, the saw delivers only positive emotions, the main thing is to get used to wind it up quickly :))

Advantages: Lightweight, small,

Disadvantages: Spanking undetected. Let's see what will happen next.

Comment: We bought it for a family, mainly to cut firewood when the tree was dumped. After looking at the reviews on the Internet, there is no doubt that you should take STHIL. The choice was between 180, 210, 250, 270, you could of course take 180 reviews about it, mostly worthy, but there were doubts whether the power would be enough, and the price of 7000 screwdriver costs 5000, it turns out a completely amateur instrument. I wanted something more powerful, and the purchase was serious and for a long time, they began to choose between 210 and 250, the difference in price was 1000 rubles, and the difference in power is 210-2 liters. s., 250 - 3 liters. from. They brought it to the village, my father grumbled why they bought such an expensive one, he wanted somewhere in the region of 7000 rubles - 180, refueled, poured oil. Started up without problems. Taking it in his hands, the father did not release the saw, sawed and sawed, I liked it, otherwise the difference with friendship is obvious, firstly, the weight with gasoline is about 5 kilograms, no taps and drowning for you, and it is convenient to hold, it is not necessary to turn the blade, turned the saw itself drank across. Having drunk the father said that they say friendship and after this take not hunting. He saws the saw well, gasped and sawed the log to the end, they knocked down the old apple tree, sawed it, and its wood is hard, everything was easily sawn. Now, in order to cut firewood, you do not need to steam, it will not start, went started, sawed a little for pleasure. Naturally, Friendship can be brought to mind so that there are no problems with starting and cuts well, but the production of modern saws has already reached decent indicators, the technology has been worked out, everything that can be thought out, the shortcomings have been eliminated.

Advantages: Great saw.

Disadvantages: There are no explicit ones.

Comment: We have been working with Calm on logging, felling and building houses for 16 years. A good, powerful saw. If you change candles, filters, work with a sharpened chain, properly dilute the fuel with original oil, the saw serves trouble-free and long-term. Until now, 2 saws purchased in 2007 have not "died", of course the power has already clearly dropped.

Advantages: Today I became the owner of this saw immediately decided to run it in, without straining the saw, I sawed about 3 cubic meters of birch forest with respite. What can I say saw the new compression brutal, starts with one or two jerks. responds well to gas, when sawing a tree of a larger diameter, the revolutions do not fall, gasoline is enough for a long time. It is easy to find consumables, (chains, blades, sprockets)

Disadvantages: Oil is poorly supplied to lubricate the chain, you have to re-gas and wait until the chain cools down. .Would like a longer blade After a month of daily use, vibration appeared and idle speed increased.

Comment: 1.5 years have passed since the purchase of the saw, I saw from spring to December. I dilute the chain oil with diesel fuel or pour in a clean hydraulic circuit and the tire has stopped boiling. Starts up with 3-4 jerks, Out of repair: the clutch sprocket is changed, once a week I blow the saw through my air filter mesh and lubricate the clutch bearing. Saw almost like new I recommend!

Advantages: lightweight, powerful, comfortable, low weight, availability of specialized service with any spare parts, tire 40cm

Disadvantages: starts up from 6-7 times to cold, to hot from half a kick, the tire gets very hot, a year after the purchase the chain tensioning mechanism broke down where the screwdriver is inserted (I bought it in the service for 300r, changed it myself) but these are trifles.

Comment: bought in the spring of 2014 for almost 17000r specifically for the felling of an elm about 16m high and a little over a meter in diameter at the ground. (they wanted to call a company first, came, looked, nobody agreed for less than 12,000, so they decided to buy). using a rented tower, the whole elm was cut into 30 cm long pennies for a bath in half a day. for the season 15 of the year that they just sawed - relics behind the eyes. very pleased with the purchase.THING!!! I love a good tool!

Advantages: power!!!!!! after 180 which for 6 years this saw itself saws! no effort itself bites into the wood and the power is enough to make it!

Disadvantages: the tire is short and the price is still expensive

Comment: I was completely satisfied with the saw, I bought my father 180 in return, I think I overpaid for a reason!

Advantages: Build quality, usability, weight.

Disadvantages: Pay attention to the quality of gasoline and oil. It is better to store in a heated room. If stored in an unheated room due to condensation, there may be problems at startup (or may not start at all)

Comment: Purchased in 2003 for 11 thousand rubles. Has risen greatly in so many years. Quite a few woods have been felled for her, firewood has been sawn. Surprisingly, nothing has broken on the saw.

Advantages: Lightweight, powerful. Starts with half a turn, adequate price.

Disadvantages: I haven't found it yet.

Comment: I picked up after Husqvarna 240 for SAWING trees with a diameter of 25 to 50 cm. I must say that the tool even exceeded my expectations - trunks (oak, birch) up to 35 cm thick. It saws without problems. What is thinner, cuts butter like a hot knife. If we talk about productivity, then in an hour and a half I sawed 2 birches about 16 m long. I am very pleased with the purchase, I advise everyone.

Advantages: A very powerful technique, yet lightweight and practical. I took the MS-250 rather for growth, since there are plans for the house and summer cottage. All that is needed on the site was cut down in the first couple of days, work is a pleasure. I saw reviews about problems with launch, but everything seems to be ok for me.

Comment: I can't imagine that there were serious problems with Calm.
