The MS 500i saw with an 25" bar exceeded my expectations. Prior to purchasing I read a number of reviews which were unanimous as to the saw's excellent performance, proven durability and easy starting. I got through several tanks of fuel and did in a quarter of the time what I would do with my MS 310 Farm Boss. The two saws weigh the same at 6.2kgs but the MS 500i has twice the engine power of the MS 310. Fuel consumption was more efficient that I expected as well. All in all a great saw and a satisfied customer.
I had heard this saws' power to weight ratio is the best in the stihl range but you need to use it non stop (break for lunch, fuel stops, included) for a whole day to appreciate this sentiment. You dont feel fatigued after a long day swinging in the end of this saw and its anti vibration dampeners are fantastic meaning your hands dont have pins and needles
Fantastic saw, easy start all the power I’ll ever need
No problem. Does what it should. The team at Stihl Tokoroa were excellent through out my purchase. Thanks
I had seen a 500i working at a mill site on large diameter logs, the operator rated the saw highly. I purchased one, he was correct, staggering acceleration, light weight and remarkable power. A remarkable chainsaw. Recommended.
