I would say the 500i is a good compromise saw. I have an 880 for quick milling of logs up to 22" wide; I also used it for felling them. After a while (and as I have got older) I found it too heavy for felling and bucking so I needed to get something in the middle, something lighter that could still handle a 25" bar. So I went for the 500i and have never regretted it. It has 75% of the 880's power but is only half the weight, meaning it is easily manoeuvrable for limbing and bucking. It's throttle response is unbelievable. Fits my needs perfectly.

They don't sound the best, I get what he's saying about small stuff too, not enough load on the motor to change it's tone. I do love it though, run a stock one and one modified by MasterMind.. its an animal. Mostly just run a 20" bar and use it for crane work
@livingadamman79942 жыл бұрын
@@SLOCLMBR I have the 500i with 25" bar which is great for felling and bucking big stuff, then 576XP w/ 20" bar for the small stuff, it will run much longer on less fuel. The 500I is all open or all shut, it has no progressive power like a carb feel it's all on or all off kind of deal as far as power goes, great for the demanding cuts but not for doing lots of smaller stuff. I balk at this guy doing small stuff with a 36" bar it's i bit silly safety wise and harder on your back, easier to drop the bar on the dirt and dull your chain which will take 2 times longer to sharpen. Set yourself up with 2 saws and switch between them, my 2 cents worth.
@michaellawcobb26932 жыл бұрын
Add a bark box to address sound, but power to weight is incredible. Bucking is fast. 20” bar or 28” depending on the distance to travel in and size of wood to cut. IMHO nothing better bigger saws are just heavier and I don’t see the point of them out in the woods. 500i strikes a great balance. My 201 is my preferred carry, and my 365special is now my #2, and still a lovely saw to run.
@livingadamman79942 жыл бұрын
@@michaellawcobb2693 Yeah the light compact design v's the MS661c is the best thing about this saw and being older fella it's a big plus when lugging it around terrain and obstacles. I had gone in to buy a 661 and none were avail so went the 500i, I dropped by another dealer on way home and felt the 661 in my hands and I was quite happy with the decision, 661 is a big saw. Interestingly it suffers the same air box poor design issue. I think Stihl should make a fix for the issue. I spoke to the dealer about it and he just keeps to his good ol line "well we've sold hundreds of 500i's and not one has come back" well maybe not yet. They do suck fine dust into throttle body and I'm experimenting with work arounds, I haven't even put two whole tanks through it but 3 good heat cycles with some run in revving on first cycle. happy enough so far. I like the idea of bark box but as I'm in Australia it's too expensive to buy and have shipped these days to bother. USPS is a darn rip off, but everything is these days.
@michaellawcobb26932 жыл бұрын
Living Adam Man I hear you on the USPS costs, it was expensive to get one to Canada too. I did come across an Oz fabricator(?) who showed an aftermarket exhaust but he was out of stock last time I checked which was this time last year. You might want to do a local search as it seems like Oz is well supported domestically by saw shops, tuners and after mkt suppliers. It’s a thirsty saw but the performance is there and for me that offsets it. In my opinion the mods and the auto tune ability of the saw make it worthwhile and should help the saw to last for years of use. I’m not a professional sawyer but... I have a few other saws that now better have specific roles now that I have the 500i before I had to compromise more in choosing one over another.

The issue with the 500i trying to start it when it's hot is the fuel is turned to gas in the fuel lines and injector and pump. The way to get it started when it's hot is to push the primer really fast a bunch of times and then quickly pull the starter. It gets liquid fuel in the place of the gas that filled the lines and pump and injector. I think the 500i could use some work with separating the fuel delivery system from the heat of the engine

Hello Buckin Army. I along with my disabled wife had two weeks of misery, called hurricane IDA. We were in our house with power being provided by a generator that ran everything except the central AC, it kept the refrigerator running so we had fresh food. Sitting in an unairconditioned house in SE Louisiana with temps around 93 Fc (inside the house temps were in the high 80's) is not a fun thing. Things went from bad but bad got worse when our generator froze up because it ran out of oil. I had to find a new one in a town that didn't have electricity and big trees were lying in the roadway. I put a call-up on Facebook and one of my high school buddies told me where I could get one. To sum a nightmare up, we bravely got things together, the extra lineman from other states were able to restore power to our neighborhood within the next week. Sleeping in your bed without fans was not fun I can assure you that. Buckin it is a joy seeing you again!

I have a 500i and absolutely love it! I’m running a West Coast Bark Box with a 25 inch Stihl Light bar and full chisel chain. I’m getting pretty good at hand filing too. That thing just eats whatever you put in front of it. Incredible power to weight ratio! I don’t think enough people are giving it credit for how light it is. With a 25 inch light bar I can lug that thing around all day long. Sure you can buy a 661 or 881 and have more power but they are heavy as a rock and so are the husky’s. The only negative thing I would say about it is it’s hard on fuel. When you’re just limbing and cutting up small stuff it’s very efficient on fuel and the tank will last you for hours. But, when you bury it in big wood and are holding it wide open throttle you can literally burn through a tank of gas in like 20 minutes.

I own a 500i definitely dont use it on small wood as the computer freaks out and revs too high when it not being held back by big wood and I dont like the sound of the westcoast exhaust. Sorry personal thing I'll leave mine stock but with west coast dogs 👍🏻👍🏻.

Same here, it's the saw I bring out for medium to large timber. Anything under 16-20 inches, I just grab a 261 or any 50-60cc saw tbh.

I can see alot of them in 5 years being paper weights. 2 strokes aren't very forgiving at full revs regarding air:fuel.

I love my 500I, im a tree surgeon in southwest Colorado and I keep 3 different bars for mine depending on the situation but 25" seems ideal most of the time I wont use another saw unless I half too!!!

i agree, its so light. I drill out the oil feed hole on the bar air filter design is great and definately the best saw avaliable atm. Sthil outdone themselves as no need for 66 an 88 seiries

@@Dumperdriver1 thats interesting. The filter design is probably what I dislike about it the most followed by the gas/oil caps. Other than that it rips!

First things first. A BIG HELLO to Linda!!! I liked the video, the 500 was kinda hitting my nerves also but I bet it can wear it out on the big old trees, maybe? ?? Tinman's saw was actually very impressive! I enjoyed listening to it run. The second one you used sounded great too. Lets face it they are all good!! Have a great one and stay safe bud!!!! I really enjoyed that video

I agree the 500I is not for small wood, runs too fat and or on the limiter, for everything else it's nasty for a stock saw.

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Put an 8 pin on her, makes a world of difference with that added chain speed, and it will pull 32 just fine. I'm running an 8 on mine with a 28 in hardwood and it rips, even with an aggressive chain, so out west it would pull a 32 no problem with an 8 pin.

Can't say I'd be using the 500i on small stuff but sounded great to me! The husky he grabbed that rattling was starting to get on my nerves though.
@em47032 жыл бұрын
The reason why its 4 stroking so bad when he's doing those light cuts with the tip is because there's not enough load on it and the 500i really likes to rev. It also doesn't have a rev limiter in the normal sense (as in cutting spark), the computer limits the RPM by enriching the fuel mixture until it drops the rpm to 14-15k, if not enough load is present to keep it lower than that.

That MS500 would have been nice earlier today. Hurricane Ida has taken down quite a few trees in south Louisiana, and one of the trees I was cutting up was a 30" diameter oak that uprooted, and it had my poor saw at it's limits.
