I would like to know as well. Seems like there is something behind it all. A bigger sprocket and away she goes! Hmm my 017 could be a monster! LOL

ok maybe not.

Yeah I just finished watching watching a video on YouTube of a ms250 with a 24" bar. I searched google and found a few 880's for sale that they had "customized"

Somewhere he had pics and a listing for a MS192c-e (rear handle) with a 24" bar. SMH

 

[keystone816]

you would think they would have a website, i was just curious about it.

MS 180 250 260 all with larger bars and cutting like crazy!.. I found Piltz sprockets on ebay which seem to be the magic ingredient to this whole thing.

There is no warranty with a new saw and the don 't work on them either according to there ebay add.

If they don't do anything to the engines it seems like the sprockets would have to be a smaller and make the chain run slower so it can pull the longer bars and chains. I still don't see how those saws can be running bars like that stock. The biggest bar I run on my 044 is 25", and it's not very often it gets used.

Glad this thread got started . Ive been wondering about this myself . Ive been tempted to buy one of the 170 or 180's just to see what the deal is

I think it is combination of gearing and small, high performance chain- he says in the video that it is a MS250 running PS3 which is PICCO super (full chisel?)...which is probably why these says don't have a warranty- the PS3 chain is only for saws with 2 HP or less and the MS250 is rated at 3HP...I don't know what else they could have done to them if they didn't mess with the engines.

What get's me is whoever is selling these saws it's like their hiding, no website no phone numbers, no warranty. And they don't discuss anything about there saws in there videos. It's not logical to overwork your saw with to big of a bar and chain, it just caught my interest and i thought some of you professionals might know a little something about these guys.

Looks like a good square filed chain.

 

[fuzz1500]

Like putting wide racing slicks on a Yugo .... may look like it will do something special...but in reality it wont ! Just my take on it

 

[labdad]

Kinda reminds me of the toilet paper oil filter JC Whitney used to sell in their catalog..just saying

 

[a. palmer jr.]

He certainly is asking a lot for a 180 Stihl...I couldn't get near that for mine and mine's not bad for what it is..

If that is what he is doing I would have thought he would have a problem after a time as bars of that size I would have thought are for 3/8th std chain size not lo pro & possibly also his spur/ rim sprocket. perhaps he thinks the saw will have long gone if & when this occurs[ hence no warrenty] stand corrected if wrong
