[@josealvarenga4100]

I have a STIHL MSA 200, I bought it for my lawn care business. Honestly it’s one of the best saws I have ever used or owned. I was skeptical at first since all most of my past saws where gas, but this saw has really gone above and beyond what I expected from it.

[@Sthilboy56]

Same here, for the small tree jobs I do it is perfect

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

It really is an impressive bit of kit. I was genuinely surprised by how it performed. Thank you for watching 😀

[@ADRIAN-fb9xj]

Yes Jose, I’ve had a 200C for a couple of years and they are brilliant. It performs much better than I thought it would, and it’s cutting Old Aussie Hardwood. Compliments my larger 2 Stroke Stihl’s nicely.

[@tjinnes]

I have spent 3-4 hours with this saw now. Goes great. Tried a plunge cut and it worked fine. Cheers.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

😀 Cool! Thank you for watching 👍

[@grahmhw]

I love the Stihl battery range already bought the small mower, blower, ext handle chain saw, arborist saw. hedger and whipper snipper with no complaints at all and just ordered the 16 in chain saw... ditched petrol forever.

[@sinksalot8860]

Buying this saw tomorrow! This video and others convinced me it is a good investment!

[@sinksalot8860]

Update after buying this saw. I love it! It may not be a high production saw, but it does a great job for everything I do. I will be harvesting some logs this year for my new bandsaw sawmill. I will be using this along with my gas powered Stihl saw.

[@seagullsbtn]

Have the MSA 200 last years model. Great saw with hot knife through butter chain speed.

[@jamesnelson9482]

I hope this is just the beginning for stihl. I haven't been impressed with any of the electric stuff from stihl yet, but this could change my mind.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

😀 As you will have seen from my videos. I am a big fan of the battery kit! Have you watched my video on the HSA94T hedge trimmer - AWESOME machine 😀 Thank you for watching 👍🏻

[@desloader2252]

Just started to change over to battery. I've got three units so far, plus three batteries. Very impressed so I hope to add the Msa 220 C next. Enjoying the videos from just south of Bath. DKL Garden Services.

😀 Thank you very much for watching 👍🏻 The battery kit really is great - a pleasure to use. 😀

[@MrGardener18]

if i ever get a chainsaw it will definley be a battery one. it look very impressive.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

MrGardener18 it is a very impressive bit of kit. The battery saws do have their limitations. But for most people they are more than adequate. It really is a cool bit of kit 😀 Thank you for watching 👍🏻

[@georgetucker336]

Very impressive saw. Pricey here in USA. Battery for saw is very pricey, also. Similar price for a regular chain saw. A choice one must make, before purchase.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

😀 Thank you for watching. It really is an impressive kit. The batteries are a great investment, as they can be used with such a wide variety of tools. And then their are all the other Benefits, like less noise, fumes, vibrations. And of course every £ spent on petrol is burnt. But £ spent on a battery will last years 😀

I think you did a great, informative job of this vid. I was wanting to know if you could use the other batteries with this or not, I've currently got the 200 version and I think it's brilliant except I don't like the small chain! Thanks.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

😀 Thank you. You can use your existing AP batteries in this saw - but to get the best performance it best to use the AP300s. Thank you for watching 👍

[@diamond05dog]

@TheFullyChargedGardner Hi ,nice video .Can I just ask you if this is the direct replacement for Stihl MS261 ? Also do you know by any chance if there are companies from whom could I get one for testing ? I am a subcontractor for Network rail and we are using MS261 daily for de vegetation along the rail tracks , but I'm sick and tired of the fumes,noise and vibrations ,so I would like to try a MSA 220c for a couple of days to see if it will be a suitable change . Thank you .

The video is fantastic to watch. The dog spike made of metal or plastic? Thks

[@buzzsaw7754]

Where can I get a 1/4 pitch sprocket for it?

[@eduardosapples1997]

Is this better than the MSA 200?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

It is indeed - it has more power and runs a 3/8 full chisel chain. I could try and make a side by side comparison video of that would help? Thank you for watching 👍🏻

[@eduardosapples1997]

[@petrinilevi7811]

@@TheFullyChargedGardener Please do! I just bought my MSA 200 in November 2019 and asked my Stihl dealer if anything new was coming out in their battery line, besides the new top handle saw. He said no, now a few months later this comes out 😭🔫At least I have 2 AP300S batteries!

[@avellinklater3566]

There is a fundamental misunderstanding of how this battery system works displayed here. The saw will cut with an identical chain speed regardless of the battery being used. Stihl has designed their tools to perform at 100% while the battery has enough voltage to sustain it. Generally, the cut off is 28v. When the battery being used is reduced to this level, the tool will shut down automatically. Having said all that, the difference you will see during usage will be this: Using the 300 battery will give you the shortest run time. Using the 300s battery will give you a slightly longer run time. Using the 3000 battery backpack will give you the longest by far run time. Not to address the power cord if using the backpack battery or the battery belt (that uses 300 and 300s battery packs). The cord can carry more current than the tool can draw, so it is never the limiting factor. That factor interestingly enough is in each battery itself. There is a current limiter that prevents the tool from drawing too much power, and possibly damaging the cells. I have both systems and they perform equally well, with the only difference being run time. Certain tools will require the power cord connection as the tool has no battery socket, so you will need the battery backpack or belt to use them.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Avel Linklater Your comment is not correct.

[@relaxingnature2617]

I've seen "crazy Russian hacker" test the msa220 with the AP300s battery vs a battery backpack ..the backpack consistently bogged down,powered out ..the long cord couldn't deliver the current as fast as the AP300S ...he was leaning into the the saw hard

Your MSA220 video sure made his chain look dull. I'd really like to see some ⛽ petrol saws around the same power as this saw cutting cookies along side each other.

Habe eine MSA 160 C gekauft, nach ca. 35 Betriebsstunden ist die Welle am Motor mit dem Kettenrad abgerissen. Beim Fachhandel habe ich mir dann eine zweite MSA160 C gekauft, bei dieser haben sich nach ca. 15 Betriebstunden 12 der 18 geklebten Magneten gelöst. dieser Mangel an der Akkukettensäge ist wie ich jetzt erfahren habe, schon länger bekannt und darf an einem Markengerät jnicht auftreten. Eine dritte MSA 160 C werde ich mir bestimmt nicht mehr kaufen, da ich von Stihl entäuscht bin

Sthil has a plug in chainsaw with a 20" bar. A little less expensive alone. Verses the battery one with needs very expensive batteries and additional charger.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Hi, The batteries and charger are an investment that can be used to power a whole range of pro machines. The battery chainsaw also offers the convenience of being cordless. Thank you for watching 👍

[@ariesmight6978]

@@TheFullyChargedGardener All good points. Now here is the big question. Knowing that both continously charging and usage. Each has its own negative effect on the battery. Has any person or people been able to determine the actual life. Expetency of the battery through real world usage. Vs company company stated rating. As an example after both so many usages. And charges the battery know only can be charged to 90% while real world cutting time is at X. Now after an X amount of time, the battery can only be charged to. 80% and usage and cutting time capacity is now at X? Until now the batteries make the chainsaw barely usable. If not not usable.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

@@ariesmight6978 Talking from my own experience, we have an AP300 battery that is 6 years old - I have seen any real noticeable drop in battery capacity. But batteries definitely won’t last forever.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Harry Short Hi, The saw will run with a standard AP300 Battery. But for the machine to run to its full power potential it needs the AP300s Battery - which supplies the machine with 2.1KW of power. I hope this is helpful. Thank you for watching 👍🏻

Jack D it must be amazing being so far ahead of the curve.

[@grahmhw]

Im not so convinced for the need to have big saws any more. The chains on the smaller 12 and 16 inch saws are thinner so they cut without so much resistance. I guess if your cutting a 24in dia then ok use a bigger saw but only because of the bar size not the power.
