Has anyone here used an MSE220?

If so, what petrol Stihl would you say it equates to in the real world?

 

Thanks.

between a 260 - ms390 the vibes will kill your hands in an hour.

How old was your model? The Stihl site says MSE220 vibration levels are 2.3/2.5- this compares with an MS362 at 3.5/3.5. As we are currently using 034 and 036 chainsaws, I was thinking we'd have to double check we plugged it in it would be that gentle on the vibe front!

 

 

So you're saying this saw would be about 034 power level? With a 13" .325 bar on, that would do me just fine

 

Cheers Steve.

I bought mine new about 2 years ago. They may of actually fitted some mounts. Mine came with 20" 3/8 chain and it has more than enough ommph for that. Alot of torque from the off dangerous at times imo. Reason I avoid using mine is vibration not lack of power. If your near come and give it a go you really need to try one as they are not cheap. Cheap to run though about 30p an hour if its flat out better for your health and ears but like using a kango all day.
