Stihl MS170 vs Echo CS-310ES vs Husqvarna120 MKII 

Saw arrived yesterday ru-vid.comUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and today I cut about 3/4 cord of wood with it. Make sure you get an extension chord that is at least 12 gauge wire, minimum. This is my first electric in about 10 years, and things sure have improved. The self-sharpener works great, and it just kept cutting through some pretty decent logs. Wear your eye protection, and ear protection. Excellent saw.

I have the Stihl 170 and the echo 352. Both fire up cold right away. The echo is more powerful, but the Stihl is just fantastic. You can't go wrong with either, and I'm a Stihl fanboy.

I really like the simplicity of the echo, owned a small one in the past. Never owned or ran a husky. Currently have a stihl. No complaints with the stihl. I realize these are all straight out of the box with no tuning but that stihl just sounded so crisp when running compared to the other two.

A fair and thorough comparison.

I just bought myself my first chainsaw. I went with the Echo CS310 . I don't know the difference in chainsaws so far I'm very pleased with this saw .

Very helpful comparison. Thank you

I am researching small chainsaws to buy, I had a very good impression of sthil ms 170 Congratulations on the very clarifying video

rocking a echo shirt i can already see where this is going

I've had my 240 husky for 4 years. I've have no issues, just kept up with maintenance. Had to readjust the carb once. Other then that no issues. I recently bought an Echo cs490 for firewood and love it.

Bought the Husky last year for about 150 Euros. Very pleased with it. Just use it for cutting medium sized trees for fire wood.

Very good comparison between the three machines. I have the Stihl ms170. It is a quality machine. I also own a Stihl leaf blower. It is high quality as well. I own a straight shaft Echo brush cutter and a Echo curved shaft weed trimmer. If I had to buy a new larger chainsaw, I would purchase an Echo. I've worked on all three brands. Echo in my opinion performs better with less maintenance.

I was just cutting some firewood yesterday with ms170 and I'm reminded how these small saws and shorter blades are not so good for my bad back haha. The saw was great though.

this is the exact type of side by side comparison I want to see.

I love my Stihl MS170!

Thanks for this great Video! Very objective and honest review ECHO is leading in many points!

Small chain small chain, I love it 🤩😁😁👍👌

Hi Thanks for readjust the Husqy. So it is an fair and good video. I like the Echo CS. And nearly I get my very first new one! I had seen a lot of Echo CS in treecare and logger video in the US. Also by August Hunicke. Then I was asking Arne for his opionen of Echo. Only a very little question! It was changing a lot for all of us. Thanks to Echo for the good products, thanks to Arne for reading and answer my question, thank you for your fine videos, Jan. Lets go together, open eyes and changing some more minds! Greetings Dirk

For the money and warranty offered we always get Echo/Shindaiwa products and equipment and never have issues! It's all about best local dealer support as well

Haha up until 12:30 mark I was convinced you were getting backhanders to make the husky look like a POS. Nice review and well put together cheers bud

This is the video that I was looking for

great information!

Told my wife I wanted a stihl ms 251ce for Christmas. Sent her the link and everything. Woke up this morning to a ms 180. Bless her heart. She tried I think.

If anyone is interested in the Husqvarna 135 MARK 2, here is a review ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJl0hhfep-U.html

Very, VERY good video, thank you so much

Not a chainsaw expert by any means, but I bought a Husqvarna 455 Rancher and it does everything I need with ease and no issues!

Nice Video as allways

Good video. Had my Echo saw for years, I really like it. I wish it had a primer (some older models did not have them). It is hard to start the first start of the season but starts easy after that.

Wow, impressive review. Am in the market for a small chainsaw and happened to have narrowed it down to these same 3. Your review gave me all of the information I needed, and more. Well done!

8:38 You don't need to engage the fast idle to make the Husqvarna start when already hot. I know the manual says so, but it's not necessary. Maybe if the saw has been sitting an hour or so, you could use it .. I stopped using it (for hot start) after the first day.

You can't beat echo for me. I ran them for years. Then just this last weekend I ran a Stihl. Good saw but it took me 10 minutes to find the chain adjustment. I can't stand it out front Where I have to work around the bar. I love the side chain adjust on echos.

Need to tune the husky. Ive ran those over stihl for years. I love echo also but not there saws so much. My Husky runs like a champ but its also tuned correctly.

I've used Husqvarna and I've used Stihl, the first time I used the echo I said I'll never go back. Echo is awesome very underrated and very strong comfortable saw. Get the 590

excellent review

CS 310 run a few tanks of fuel and tune carb then you have the best saw for the money

nice comparison. I liked echo most, but unfortunately there is no sale in my country.

Nice vedio.. detail explain

nice comparasion

Echo make really good products

I came here to find out about the Echo. I already have the same Husky as in the video… and I hate it. Manual choke is a pain, always takes at least 3 or 4 pulls, hot or cold. And the amount of times I’ve bumped the kill switch off half way through a cut is annoying (it’s in a crappy spot). But worst of all on the Husky: the chain sprocket is on the inside clutch outside.Mine has just jumped a chain an destroyed the oil pump. Echo dealer is giving me a good enough trade in to make it worthwhile changing 👍

Nice video 👍👍 💪💪

I want to order this one..tomorrow.

Currently have an echo,,beast

I enjoyed watching this video thanks, looking to buy a used echo cs-310 for $50

Keren bos 👍👍mana yang lebih bagus di antara mesin itu?

The effort to show how good the Husky is. Everyone watching in the middle is like man that thing has no place in this contest!! Then it’s like oh wait! That bitch bad!! LOL nice video! I love Stihl. Going to buy a 170 tomorrow

do you think that stihl 170 would be better with chain 3/8 1.3 0.050? and guide bar 12 "or 14" instead of 16 "? I'd like to know your expert opinion. I am a novice. Thanks for this wonderful video

My suggestion to most people.. if you're going to buy an Echo spend 300 dollars and get the CS 400. Its still a very light chainsaw. I personally wouldnt want to go any smaller than about 40 cc and the saws featured here are around 30 cc.. very small.

The ms170 is slower on the long cuts but that's mostly because The teeth for the blade are "micro" cuts. it's meant for delimbing and cuts smaller than 8 inches around. .

Sehr schönes Video. Ganau das, Wass ich gesucht habe. Alles sehr gut gezeigt. Danke

The husky needs priming not only for cold starting also for warm starting you need to prime 2 or 3 times to start the saw

140psi Good compresion 372xp oem?

So, is there a secound opinion after some time of use.. also, what about a feeling in hands? What is Your personal No1 from the user point, not just the specs. Regards.

These huskies are adjusted too lean out of the box, husky is probably doing that just to pass on emissions. Bought the same saw and couldn't make a cut with it, performed just the same as this one. After adjusting the carb it cuts like a champ.

The no handed test without putting pressure on the saw is not fair as the design of the Husq's LowVib anti vibration handle is design to articulate. Without pressure it binds up like in your test.

Excellent video. Really shows the differences that matter. Jan, does the Echo engine ever break-in well enough to run as smooth as the Still? Although the Still is smaller displacement, you can see and hear how much better it runs. I ask because I just replaced my MS-170 with a CS-352 and the Echo sounds slow and unsophisticated compared to the hot rod 170.

I got the echo today want the Stihl but the store that sold the Stihl was closed. I'm pleased with the echo

those Husky 120's are cheap junk. Echo is the best bang for your buck saw out there.

I have a stihl 170 and I’ve operated the big boys before. But nothing beats a stihl, my weed eater Is also a stihl

Both the Echo and the HUSKY BOTH SOUND SICK AND NEEDING A CARB ADJUSTMENT

Thanks

It seems like he did something to that Husqvarna because I have the same one and mine don’t run like that

They all do an adequate job of cutting timber. I don’t find much difference between them. The heavier the saw of course means less pressure needed, I find it’s mostly about the chain and correct sharpening. I still use my Pioneer P40, must be 40 years old!

The stihl is the only one running half way decent out of the 3 echo is tad rich and the husky is super lean

Idk about the mark one BUT, I bought two new Husky mark2 BEASTS almost a year ago(1 last winter and one this year) abuse them everyday. Idles okay, high rev cold starts 3-5 pulls everytime, only use veggie oil and 50/1 cheap motor oil with cheap gas, never put the damn things away, always leave them out in the rain/sun/snow, accidently put oil in the gas tank cleaned it out ran just fine, dropped it, kicked it, keep letting trees fall on it. They do not come adjusted properly from factory, so i got a cheap carb adjustment kit on amazon and tried to make it run half decent. I've cut at least a couple hundred cedars big and small with the 16 inch bar, will take down many 14-16 inch diameter trees easy . Only had to change the plug and clean the spark arrester screen a couple of days ago on my main saw, it was blacker than toby's arse! Only other repair was a new side cover cause since broke the plasteek that holds the bar adjustment screw by forcing the wrong bar on it. Main felling saw still runs great, the mill saw from last winter is slowly dying from over abuse, though i got plenty of use out of them already not bad at all for around 300$cad

cutting wood with all three saw means nothing, only the the chain quality is being tested here. all three are good saws. what's more important is the weight and balance and how close and the parts store is.

I've logged an did tree work an all 3 of those is what we would use for a climbing saw but I have the echo an out of the 3 ots by far the best in its size

Im really curious about how the chains are different to one another 🤔

Idk where you got your 120 but I have one and that sucker rips through everything

Whats the diffrent between 90 and 91 PX

@Jan Maes Outdoor Training Great video! Why don't all the saw use the smaller chain? Is there any downside to the smaller/thinner kerf chains?

Still confused which one to buy

mantap

no xcut chain?

I have an Echo 590 Timberwolf. I don't need reviews.

Sir..good day..how much this one big..

Good video. Can you compare the 50cc farm class, which is the Echo 490ES, Stihl 271, and Husqvarna 445.

Is it just me or did that husky still sound lean after being adjusted?

Ms170👍👍👍🇷🇴

The 120 is just an orange Poulan. I tore one apart and it looks identical in every way to the 38cc Poulan. I’d much rather take the Echo for my use

Very clever to tune the husky second time ......

Someone tune that poor Husky, lol

WOW The Echo Kicked all there Asses Pretty Impressive............................................

The helmet is cool, where can I buy it, can you help me make it, and how much does it cost?

Husqvarna doesn't pay you very well, right? it seems that you do everything possible so that it is not bought

👍👍👍

make a video with the rpm engine in the 20x20

Only Stihl!👌😘

Trying to learn about chainsaws, this is a great review but is the only difference between the 90px and 91px Echo the chain? The Echo website only shows one 90px chain, and indicates it is for the electric model. It also specifies different guide bars for each which indicates you cannot use either chain with the Echo 310 (unless you change guide bars?). The 90px cuts faster, but are there any disadvantages (ie. faster wear)? Which chain does the Echo 310 come with out of the box in the US? Also, does "ES" stand for "easy start"? I cannot find this model

Anyone know what the difference between the echo CS 310ES and the echo CS 310

How much paraice chinsow 250 cc

Husqvarna mantap

I love Stihl!!!!!!!! For ever!!!

husqcarna I love you

Just doing some research on different chainsaws

The MS170 is excellent if you need to climb trees, recently I really want to try Echo

So where is the poulan saw 😜

250 cc how much sir

Im in big dilemma what should I get now... I need to buy chainsaw quickly. What would you choose?

Stihl all the way. But any chainsaw is better than a hand saw. Save your money buy a pro series saw it will last you a lifetime if you maintain it

My husqvarna cuts all our wood. We just bought a 460 rancher 24 inch blade
