so before we do our first test let's bang it together
because that's bigger than i thought it's going to be but that's what they all say
there's a lot bigger oh my god that is some weapon isn't it look at that what battery have
we got there james we've got the ap 500 battery yes it's the new battery it's still released with
this saw so this is the still light 04 bar and chain which runs exactly the same bar and chain
on the 261 so this test is as equal as we can possibly make it and make it fair we're gonna
have a brand new chain on the 261 obviously brand new chain on the msa 300 and it's worth
bearing in mind that obviously the msa 300 is meant the equivalent power to the 261. oh
someone's trying to steal our car oh double dog we always like a double dog i reckon you can
unbolt that clutch cover and you can put double dog on there that'd be nice quite aggressive
that's not josh's yoga move that we mentioned before no i can only do a double whale double
whale slop a battery in there so she's oiled up the battery is full the brand new chain is on
it's nearly time to set sail and do some cutting josh as you will know in previous videos we have
been told that we did not let the saw warm up and run in so i think we better just do this now
i think we're good to go yeah right let's crack on with the first test first test we are going to
weigh them both yes the 261 is going to be full of petrol and the battery is already full of battery
electric juice yes it is so the msa 300. oh
seven kilograms seven kilograms kilograms and now ems 261. get away make that about five and
a half to be fair i guess six yeah six yeah six six that feels lighter than that though yeah
don't tell the wife but josh has dribbled on the scales there you go good job there bathrooms now
most powerful cordless chainsaw available on the market three kilowatts of electrical power
with the ap500s battery with up to 30 meters per second chain speed with three operating
programs for individual use one eco two all round felling and 3d limiting is running on
the light 0 ford guide bar and the 325 1.3 rs3 pro chain yes it's available up to 18 inch bar
options on this saw but also has 14 and 16 inch options robust thermal setup and all
weatherproof reliable with all applications and conditions it's even got a service cover on the
top so yes you can take the air filter cover off hang on a minute a battery saw with an air filter
for easy cleaning i like the sound of that and you've got an operation and notification cockpit
but you've also on top of that got the variable speed trigger so you're still in complete control
of your chainsaw and what more with all the new still battery chainsaws and products of the market
it's totally prepared for the connected 2a system if you already use still pro machinery you know
that their anti-vibration systems are of the top rating and this is no different yes it has the
av system included and just like its brother the ms-261 you got visible magnesium die casting all
around the product the oil tank housing the bar stop the sprocket cover and the fan wheel which
is invisible and as you expect from a pro salt it still has an adjustable oil pump so you can
control the amount of oil that is going to the bar depending on what application you are using it for
and this saw just to reiterate is the fastest battery chainsaw currently on the market with up
to 30 meters per second chain speed that's running the ap 500s battery is worth noting that you have
got to run that battery to get the full speed and again it's worth bearing in mind you can't get
full power with a smaller battery so here i've got the ap200 slide that in turn the power on
if you can see it flashes up and it basically tells you you can't run it any more than eco
so test number two yes we're going to measure the rpm at the clutch using this beautiful beautiful
tool james is a little taco meter no i like a taco he does love a taco doesn't it doesn't love
20 meters per second that one 20 meters per second on the camera but
this is a measure per second measures rpm yeah so
that reads out at 10 04 revolutions per minute that's what the 261 is meant to be
at full power that's on eco mode middle power power middle power yeah it's a standard cutting
12 141 revolutions per minute 25 more power pretty much that is that is impressive right
full power this is the full 30 meters per second running on an ap 500 battery
14 560. that is a far sword wow let's try the 261. yep
well that's come out of 13 371 so my tachometer is obviously reading higher than what stills does
because still say that 261 measures out at 10 000 rpm but i suppose we don't know if that's
what the bar and chain are because they don't state that no that should rev higher without the
bar that's very true actually that's very true but anyway to the clutch that is what our readings are
so already the msa 300 is coming out at higher revolutions on full power compared to the 261.
so stay tuned we're in the next video we're going to show you the msa 300 code
onto test 3. so as we mentioned we're gonna fit brand new chains to these two saws and that's a
one point three mill three two five i've done that before shouldn't we turn around there's everything
yes we're gonna do some cutting josh has the ms261 here and we have a nice bit of
timber he's going to go down up down against the clock and then he's going to do exactly the same
with the msa 300 let's see how he gets on i'm going to count them in and we'll go go
right so now exactly the same test with msa 300. three two one go that is smooth that
was proper smooth lovely that is nice i like that that's quite surprising interesting three two one
right we've got another cut test to do in a minute which is in bigger timber let's have
a look see what other things we can measure on this saw so that part of the video where we do
a giveaway to one of our lucky subscribers yes all you have to do is comment in one of our videos and
be a subscriber it's that simple and then we'll choose at random who gets to have the giveaway and
today's lucky winner is warp fire congratulations warp fire please ping us an email info haze
machinery dot co dot uk and we'll send you a oh still chainsaw bag sealed chainsaw bag steel cap
still keyring and steel pen if you haven't already got a chainsaw to put in this well you can have a
look at our website hayesmachinery.com got lots on there for sale but congratulations warp fire
and good luck to all the future subscribers should we get back to those tests let's go do some more
tests and now we move on to the sound test and i got my mate james here with his phone app jobby
yeah i got my phone app is yes noshi not joshi to measure how many decibels each of these saw is
and we measured out 1.5 meters away from the saw did you do 261 first let's do it yeah
that was 101. 101 decibels it's about right for chainsaw what is it yeah this is
88.5 decibels who knew the battery saw would be quieter i'm so surprised yeah that one is rated
to 109 decibels 109 yeah obviously again that'd be for the user so obviously you're using a chainsaw
here your ears are here so they're probably measuring like that away but again for safety
we're measuring it that far away can you move on to the next one next test
so now it's time to cut some big wood yes that bar is 18 inches long and so is that bit of wood
josh is going to do just one cut down through 261 versus the 300. let's do it let's go for it mate
so
so now it's time to put the battery msa300 through the same bit of timber yes you can see
she is a perfect size for that bar oh yes let's go joshie let's do it
oh it's gonna be tight
wow
you've got the numbers you've seen this we haven't done the timing yet you can see
how quick that was but i gotta say that is rather impressive
i'm very impressed with that so one last thing to do with this and that's some general cutting
cutting up some logs with it i'm gonna put me ppe on and crack on with that so it's time to
put the msa 300 into some proper work i got these apple trees that blew down in the last storm
so our in-house goats have literally stripped most of the bark off but they can't reach some
of the top stuff so i think it's only fair if i let some of it down so they can nibble away at
the moss and stuff right so we're going to do some of the smaller bits in half power no two
and then when i do the bigger stuff in a minute we'll put it up to the full muscle saw all right
it's now time to put it up to full power yes it is
that is so impressive it really is that i like it i do like it a lot
all right
hey
so roundup time we've got this beautiful msa 300 and the ap500 battery and we put it up
again to 261 pros cons what's your record what's your favorite pro what's your favorite thing
about that favorite pro well construction of it you know it is an absolutely solid bit of kit in
there you know you're not gonna be too worried about lugging that around and it's gonna do the
job and you can see from the cutting performance absolutely spot on really really fast and it's the
biggest saw biggest battery store on the market so far to be available and i'm very impressed but
it's nice to see something come to the market like this because there's a lot of pro users
really want something in that sort of market you know something that'll compete really well against
petrol products so that's really really good and it's like for like isn't it yeah it is like
cutting-wise it's like for like even in the logs and in josh's time to tests it's
very very similar to the 261. there'll be some differences as with every saw for one obviously
it's it's battery-powered you haven't got to fill it with petrol well or fuel or gasoline
especially with the rising fuel costs exactly the rise of fuel costs at the moment and that
is becoming more and more popular and now a pro pro user got a decent sized pro saw to consider
and yes it is 100 worth considering if you are in the market for a new pros or have a look at
one of them we've got them on our website for sale there's other dealers for still worldwide
where you'll be able to get one of these from but keep your eye out for them definitely 100
invest in it you are going to smile and i suppose the other thing to mention is
they have got a new brand new top handle chainsaw coming up the msa 220 tc and tco so the o stands
for all guard system on it so that will run ap300s batteries and ap500s batteries now
they're not available yet but carry on watching this channel and we'll make sure we'll get one
of those tours and do some tests with that one as well please click that subscribe button and
the thumbs up button would be very very grateful thank you very much right i
think that's all of it that's it cool alright guys we'll see you in the next one take care
