According to my stopwatch the MS400 took 21.6 seconds and the MS500 took 19.5 seconds. Considering the MS400 has a much lower price, lower vibration, lower fuel consumption and notably lower weight- it makes it an easy winner for cutting trees of this size. The MS500 only makes sense if you need to pull 28-32" bars a lot for big work.

Agreed. For most of what we do that 400 is the ticket. The 500 is nice in big wood however. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Porque o Brasil tem poucas restrições de emissões poluentes, por isso aí saem máquinas de carburadores de afinação manual, que são mais poluentes, Na Europa motosserras profissionais é quase tudo de afinação automática, electrónicos, sem parafusos de afinação, para reduzir as emissões poluentes. A Europa tem muitas leis e restrições, perante a poluição. É essa a razão

Nice saw running comparison. My curiosity🤔 is what type of chain are you using? I'm finding a lot of guys running the 500i on these videos are running standard chain. I prefer half skip and full skip chain on the larger saws over 70cc for speed. It makes a big difference. Keep up the great work 👍👍

How’s that piston slap on the 500i. That’s what they are known for. Shame 1200$ saw and I’ve seen a few with MAJOR piston wear before they are even “broken in” Gas caps leak. More often than not. Gas tank seams leak Weak Antivibe mounts Just a terrible design for a saw that costs so much
