The Best Chainsaw Ever Made... IMO

[@JohnWoodbury-xk2cb]

For those wanting a high output oiler for the 400 order an oiler for a Stihl 460. The 460 oiler is the correct oiler for the application. The mounting holes on the 462 oiler are incompatible with the 400.

[@aktrapper6126]

Nice saw. Wish they never stopped making the o44

[@JeffStorm-wo5fq]

I have over 40,000 hours running chainsaws yes that's correct and the best saw still for me and i would put it against any other saw that's the Husqvarna 372 XP game over

[@idroadking]

I agree.... with a very, very close second going to the Husky 266 IMO.

Absolutely. If you could only have 1 saw, 372 with a 20” and 28” bar

[@FiddleMaker63]

Stihl hold my beer. We are discontinuing this model and ditching the mag piston. Down grading to 400.1 Best 70cc class was the OG 044. It had the best balance between other “bests” 371/372, 046. Once the EPA got in the way and every saw gained the freshman 15 they all got heavier than before. 2000 25 years later just trying to where we where.

[@FerociousSniper]

There's a reason my family has a boatload of 044s. It's because they work and they last.

[@LumberJoe-x2q]

We run that saw, and it works great. It has great power and speed for its size.

[@RandyBB-yz1kq]

I was extremely surprised with your one saw assessment, but respect your decision.

[@oakiewoodsman]

I do not have any MTronic saws yet. I like that you are able to replace just the solenoid adjusters on it in comparison to the Husky AutoTune carbs. I gotta say, I was a little shocked when you came to the log with that saw. I am yet to run a 400C but they have always interested me. I sometimes wish I would have purchased that rather than my 562XP mark i

[@michaelalancaveney2298]

I have about 20 different XP saws from the golden age of Husqvarna (1990’s) and I have to agree the 400 C Stihl is one of my favorites as well.

[@darylmanumik5980]

Sounds good what ever happened to your epoxy jet soaking in gas deal did it fail or if is still soaking?

[@rottiejakeluke]

When you say the Stihl MS 400, would you choose the 400 c-m? Or just the straight old 400? Would add the high output oiler right from the get go or just if running a large bar?

[@thejackbancroft7336]

MS400 is the same as MS400CM. C means comfort (suspension and easy assist), while M just means Mtronic. You'll want a high output oiler (H/O) from an MS460 if you're gonna work with 25 inches or more

[@benhenderson6965]

My go to “truck/ sxs saw” for running around the hunting club is my trusty 026. I just added a 400 to the arsenal and have yet to touch a piece of wood with it due to my work schedule. I can’t wait to sling some chips with it! This video gives me a sense of assurance that I made the right decision. Funny story, when the guy that sells you the saw comes back from firing it up to make sure the oiling system is good grinning ear to ear saying that’s a heck of a saw, either he is very new with little experience, or he’s very impressed. I know the guy, he isn’t new.

[@BuckYaSaws]

Great episode, haven’t run a 400 yet but here good things from my tree service friends. One of my favorites is the 044 or 440. I’m itching to get a 400. I prefer carbs I can adjust but the I feel like the m-tronic has proven to be reliable. That chain was cutting great man!

[@davidforsythe3037]

I have a Husky 385 that I traded my 371 for. It has many, many hours blocking large hardwood. Can sit for months, and starts in about five pulls. Beat saw I have ever owned in 30 years

Warms my hearts to hear you talk up a Stihl like that😂..seriously tho I love my 400 and it’s just stock with bolt ons..pulls a 24 just fine ..shame Stihl is discontinuing it and making it a smaller model..maybe the new 400 will be great too🤷🏼‍♂️

[@BuckenStanleyRay]

Lol i only owned stihl saws before i started watching your channel now i own poulans, huskys, macs, echos/shindaiwa, dolmar/makitas. I still love my ms440 i bought new over 27 years ago but that makita 7900 just feels great! I hit the like button but cant say i really liked this particular video lol. Lets get back to those poor mans videos i enjoy picking up broken saws cheap and many are easy fixes!

[@Leave_Nothing_Stock]

Out west, the 661 is hard to argue with. I love the 064s as everybody knows by now I'm sure, but my basic ass 661 build puts out 10.7hp and can run every single day for multiple seasons, cutting big ass trees without a hiccup. If I had to pick one saw to do for a customer and had to bet my ass they'd never have an issue or complaint it would have to be a 661. 400 would probably be a close second if we're talking saws still in production.

[@novicelumberjack]

Yeah, lots of guys really love their big saws, you are not alone there. Maybe someday I'll have enough experience with the big saws to do a "Best Big Saw" video. As it is, I can't imagine the level of hell that would force me to cut the canopy of a huge oak into a 1,000 pieces of firewood... using only a 661 with a 36" bar! I'd much rather double cut the trunk with a smaller saw than have to lift the bigger saw to cut up all that small stuff.

[@w6qd]

The 661 is one heavy-ass saw (I have one). What the Hell, just get a 3120 for limbing.

[@Leave_Nothing_Stock]

@@w6qd I know quite a few guys (and a couple girls) daily driving one. Boedy nailed it. Different strokes. Overkill for cutting up canopies that are wider than they are tall. But 4+ foot trees at 6000 feet, really your only option. Smaller saws start running out of air to pull the long bars at elevation

[@Witschor]

Husky 372 and 550 are my Favorite Saws

[@ChadJackson-t6j]

I’ve been running mine since they hit the market and fell in love with it especially after modding it and now it’s ported by Charlie Brisco and I would almost bet it would clobber a stock 660 even with a 28-32 inch bar. They really are pound for pound in a league of their own and honestly it out performs my ported 462 and it will hang right there with a really really meanly ported 372 minus some of the torque my Brisco built 372 but about the same chain speed. I think you nailed it spot on with a good runner up would probably be a 372 or 066 for just getting the job done and never complaining about it……. I don’t know exactly how long Ive had mine but I bought the first one available from my local ace and to think, I almost bought a 362 instead because I’d never heard of a 400 before that but since that day it hasn’t given me a minute of trouble and it gets used every single day so there’s no telling how many hours are on it but if it was to blow up tomorrow I’d go get a new one before they screw up a good thing lol Hope you’re doing well buddy

[@stannelson2582]

So... no magnesium piston on the 400i ? Is the 400's magnesium piston gonna turn out be an issue ?

[@thejackbancroft7336]

They've been widely on the market for something like four years now. Dealers I talk to maintain that pistons don't really break on them. They're moving away from it because it's probably cheaper to use aluminum alloy without magnesium. There's no issue with the mag piston

[@garyfp4254]

My late 70's Stihl 038 Super with 24" bar is a bad ass.

Just upgraded a recently to the 400. Impressive saw. At first I was concerned about the increase in weight over my MS260. However with the longer bar and power, I do not even notice it when using. It is well balanced and a joy to cut with. They Just need to put an automatic chain sharpener on the saws. Just a dream. Saw your video and nice to know I got the best saw made.

[@ishure8849]

G'day NL, I have a MS400 with a 20 inch bar if you try a longer bar in the hardest woods on Earth you are going to find problems that's why Stihl test their saws in Australia and build them for Australian conditions, yes that's an actual thing.I use it for limbing and small wood because of it's weight and speed. Some people have asked why buy a 400 when the 500 is only 1.3 pounds heavier and more powerful ? for me it was about where it fit into my lineup of Pro Stihls. The MS400 is not the best saw here but it is the best sub 70cc saw ever built, The best saw ever built is in my opinion and that of Donny Walker the over square bore 066 Magnum MS660 variants tree eaters as Ironhorse calls them of which I have two and one .

[@jplarrabee4672]

Good video I love the self tuning saws Wouldn't go back to a carb on my sled, truck or chainsaw

[@ericoverdorff8880]

I watched a ton of saw videos. 462 was my first choice when i up graded from my 290 farm boss, witch by the way is the best homeowner saw ever made, IMO. Anyway it was during covid, my local dealer said he had one on order but it may be a year if he could even get one. He did have 1 400 on the self so i settled and bought the 400, $1008.00. That was 2 years and 20 full cords ago. I still get giddy every time im bucking firewood with it. I bought a bark box and dogs from Westcoast saws. Ran the stock exhaust first season to get it broken in, then put the bark box on and reset the m tronic. Only ran the bark box for 1 truckload, put the stock exhaust back on. Every video ive seen swoons over the bark box but my experience was it cut just as fast with the stock can with less noise. The engineers made a great saw right out of the box and im glad that i couldn't get the 462. I may port it some day, i retire in 2 years, then ill have time to fix all my broken shit and play with my saws. Going to put an expansion chamber on the 290 also, just because this is America.

[@TheNutzandBoltz]

I didn't know squat when I bought my first saw. A used 2008 290. Fantastic saw. I just hate how all the wood dust ends up on the airlifter. I have been running it along side my new 400. Nearly not a spec of dust in the 400 filter/housing. Definitely I nice step up

[@ericoverdorff8880]

@TheNutzandBoltz true about the filter but I probably only cleaned mine 3 times in 12-13 years. Not because it was running poorly but because I thought I should. I also ran every crap mix oil known to man, even motor oil because I went out and realized I had no mix oil but did have some 30 weight. I had my muffler off this past year to pull the screen so I took a peek at the piston. Not a scratch, mark of any kind, no carbon on the screen and barely any on the piston. I always ran it hard and put it away wet with almost no maintenance. It's cut well over 100 full cords and still runs like a rockstar. The grab handle has been Jerryed back together and the chain brake got tore off by a twisting tree when falling it but it just won't quit.

[@TheNutzandBoltz]

@@ericoverdorff8880 It's funny how the world says you need a 70cc saw or your a girl, a homeowner or a neophyte. 20" bar on my 290 and it cuts bigger wood that I can carry. I do like the self tuning carbs though. I live at 3k' and cut wood at 9100' last week and I don't even have to think about it. Good luck in the wood yard.

[@ericoverdorff8880]

@TheNutzandBoltz absolutely! I use to never want anything bigger than the 290. O31 and 290 served me well for 40 years. I just watched to many saw videos and they made me want a bigger one in my arsenal. Figured you only live once, at 64 i wanted to experience a little more power before its to late. It is fun. er

You are really going to stir the pot up with this one. I call, the original edition 372 XP, because, it has proved itself in longevity . 400c is so good, Stihl had to change it. I'm glad I got one. Break in time is quite long. As is the 462.😊

[@sendyplumber]

@@taylorc2542 The new 400 actually is a unique displacement. 362 only 59cc. New 400 is 62.6cc or something close to that. Atleast they went close to 63cc. Only the old 360 was 62cc then they went down just below 60cc with the 362. Good to see they bumped up the displacement to fit between the 2 saws.

While I wouldn’t necessarily disagree, it depends a lot of the size of the wood you are cutting and what is more important to you, weight or reliability. As far as best ever, I’m sticking with the old 0 series. I know they will last several thousand hrs and 35 years without having any issues. Which one you pick as best depends on the size of the wood. 👍🏼

[@novicelumberjack]

They didn't buy it. They asked for permission to use the technology and Husqvarna granted it. Sweeden has fair use laws for technology. Any company that requests any technology must be given the rights to that tech. Stihl would not likely exist without this law because nearly every advancement they have made was gotten this way. That being said... Stihl made improvements over the Husqvarna tech. It just seems to work better. Now I will say this, the Auto Tune on the 562xp mk2 and the 592xp is much better. So they are headed in the right direction.

5. Echo 590 4. HQ 550 3. HQ 346 2. HQ 246 1. P 5000 My opinion, not saying it is the correct opinion for anyone else. Since the timber in 🇳🇴 is like it is 50cc saws are what we use. Why the 5000? I will give you my reasons for it. - Fuel tank capacity is 40% higher than any other 50cc saw, including 550 XP. Longer runtime means more work done in a day. - The fewest amount of AV mounts of any 50cc saw (3). Two are rubber, rubber gives the best effect. And it is easy to tell if they are in good shape unlike when they are not visible mounted to fueltank. - The handles are not mounted to the fuel tank only. Optimum control and feel with the crankcase and tank as one piece. - The intake does not consist of intake blocks who crack and deteroriate over time like Huskies. - The intake bolts are not threaded with a bolt to the cylinder or plastic, heat and vibrations is not transfered to the carb. Also there is no possible ways for bolts in the intake to come loose, with it being nyloc nuts and the retaining screws for air-filter providing extra support for the nyloc nuts holding the carb in place. Intake leaks are so extremely common in chainsaws, and can sometimes be a bitch to diagnose. So this is very important to me. - Best power to weight ratio in stock form. - Exhaustcan is easy to open and clean, no need for an angle grinder or welder. - The limbing brace between front handle and rear handle protects operator from vibrations when limbing. - Fuel tank is not made of plastic which will leak alot of the time. The saw that made Electrolux buy Partner, no saw has been able to match it in my opinion. I have not experienced fuel boiling like some say these do in the summer. I also think the fact that angles make for a really slender skinny and easy saw to operate.

[@modarkthemauler]

[@wheelchairhillbilly]

So a chainsaw that you had to pay a pile of money for had a bad carburetor, and you had to spend a bunch more on a different oiler, (poor design) is the best designed saw ever made? No saw can be the best if it's not a logger saw. The 400 is essentially a very expensive firewood or tree service saw, but not a logger saw. A logger saw has to be designed for a minimum 28 in bar without being nose heavy, and have a track record to be king of the woods. A 372 would be a great argument, but the husky 288 would have to be king. Probably the easiest to start, easy to get more power, stout build, and no problem falling timber in the snow, all would make it best ever overall. Plenty of vibration, and poor stock power to weight compared to the modern stuff as well of course. Thanks for the video.

I'm sure you know what they say about opinions. Have a great day.

MS 400.1 5.3 hp and 5.5 kg (12.125 lbs.)… So similar horsepower and 2/3 of a pound lighter than the current 400.

They are cheating in weight. Put it on a scale and you‘ll see it. thats what all Brands are doing.

[@thermaltoyzngear3310]

They run hotter out of the box. Its closer to 6 hp before a porting job and not broken in, and around 8 hp after a good work saw porting job per Dyno Joe. I have a 400 that's ported/muffler modded and I agree with Mr. Novice: it's the best "do all saw" with no competitors. Now, my favorite saw is the 550 XP Mkii, but if I could have one, it would be my 400.

Stihl 400.1. Dealers soon! 400 or 400.1😮

462c made the 400c irrelevant to me.

[@JohnBrunner-ym6qj]

They shaved 3/4 of a pound off could have just run a shorter bar to save that

Make sure not to get any pet squirrels or raccoons when you move to New York.

[@wizardsofwisconsin7400]

Yep. Not gonna disagree one iota.

[@edoardo6335]

044 or ms440 hybrids are the best to me, the ms400 of course vibe less
