At Vidacampista we recommend the MS 171 model instead of this MS 170.
We explain why.

• The MS171 carb is adjustable and easier to start.
• The anti-vibration system of the MS171 absorbs much more vibrations. The difference is huge.
• The end caps on the MS171 are easy to open with a half turn. The MS170 model requires a flat screwdriver.
• The chain tensioning of the MS171 is done from the side of the chainsaw, while the MS170 has the tensioning screw hidden in the front of the chainsaw and is sometimes more difficult to find due to the adhering sawdust.
• The cover to access the spark plug and the filter is opened by a handle. On the MS170 a screwdriver is required.
• The air filter of the MS171 is of greater capacity and durability.
• More powerful engine. MS171 of 1.8CV compared to the MS170 of 1.6CV.
• The rest of the improvements are technical level.
