    The best thing about those WCS dogs is - being able to push them into a timber to hold the saw when not in use- in stead of setting it on the ground.
    They work very well too!!

    I went with the bark box and the west coast 3 point dogs…..love both products. It’s a great saw period, with or without the mods. Did the same with my MS 362 also, worth it there also IMHO. I also went with the 28” light bar after running the 25” light bar on the MS 500i first. Glad I switched and then put the 25” light bar on the MS 362. Glad I did that also. You will enjoy the new saw, especially after you have run 6-8 tanks through it, it will come alive then. Enjoy 🪵⛓🪚👍👏 Rick

      thanks for watching rick. I have the light bar on the 500 now and i really like it. I agree the 362, while a great saw, really did benefit from the upgrades. Its yet to be seen on my 500. After a few more tanks ill make a decision...xmas is coming after all...

    Good video! And I’ve watched a bunch of these reviews on the 500i.
    I didn’t realize they made a TS500i for that much longer. I’m not worried about the reliability of it so much and I think it’s only a matter of time before I end up buying one. I’d probably run it stock for a while but am really intrigued by the bark box idea. Would love to see some scientific info on how well it helps reduce heat. 👍🏼

    I definitely like the idea of instant throttle, but question to me is if it would withstand hard impacts.... such as bounce off a utv or atv. Because this does happen.

    • @JohnWCH
      @JohnWCH  Před rokem +1

      While I've done it only once, with a DeWalt electric chainsaw, I can't see why this would or wouldn't survive a bump any more or less than any other professional saw would. Professional saws are made of metal vs the plastic of the homeowner ones.

    By any chance did you consider the 661? If so, why did you choose the 500i? What size bar are you using? Thank you.

    • @JohnWCH
      @JohnWCH  Před rokem

      The 661 is a good saw, but not for my application. If i was looking to run anything over a 32in bar or chainsaw milling, id seriously consider a 661. Theres just no need for ME. and on the 500 i run a 25 or 20in bar. 20 the majority of the time, it rips.

    Thanks for the review. Comparing with your 362 is kind of silly. The 362 has always had a lack of power and not a very impressive saw. That's why the 400 is so well received. The 362 will be a has been for sure. Also comparing a 59cc saw with a 79cc saw is just silly. I understand your wow factor and your point of reference.

    Wrong...261 cm is a pro saw...the smallest pro considering saw in Europe , regarding Stihl is ms 211.
    You see we don't have the need for 24" bars and shit🤣 You can cut pretty much everything in Europe with 20" bar .
    Btw good video👍

    • @JohnWCH
      @JohnWCH  Před rokem +1

      After a year of use, and even up to using it yesterday, you couldn't be more correct. It's a machine, it uses fuel. Bad talking point. But it WAS something that I saw brought up, so I wanted to touch on it.

    • @funkysawmanwright5077
      @funkysawmanwright5077 Před 10 měsíci +1

      Anyone who doesn't worry about fuel usage obviously doesn't cut timber for a living, especially out west where we have to hike in a mile or more with our sawing gear, more gas weighs a guy down, packing 50 lbs 10 hrs a day on steep slopes is no fun
