Details

The STIHL MS 251 Petrol Chainsaw delivers a high cutting performance and is suitable for a variety of applications, from cutting firewood to construction. This saw has an excellent power to weight ratio, therefore making it comfortable to use for long periods of time. Due to the economical 2-MIX technology, emissions are cut and fuel consumption is lower compared to traditional 2-stroke engines. This is a compact and versatile Chainsaw.

NOTE:

Your Chainsaw will require engine oil and bar lube. We recommend STIHL HP ULTRA TWO STROKE ENGINE OIL and STIHL SYNTH PLUS CHAIN LUBRICATION for your machine.
