A 23.6cc 2-MIX engine delivers 1.10 kW at just 2.6 kg without fuel, bar and chain, making it the go-to choice for precision pruning, fine deadwood removal and detailed aerial cutting where fatigue management is critical. ErgoStart (E) reduces pull effort on the starter for easy restarts at height.

At 2.6 kg it is approximately 1.1 kg lighter than the MS 201 TC-M, which is a meaningful difference over hours of aerial work. The compensator carburettor maintains consistent performance as the filter loads, reducing maintenance interruptions on busy sites. For arborists who want a petrol saw at the very lightest end of the professional range, the MS 151 TC-E is the STIHL answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/chainsaw-chains\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eReplacement Chainsaw Chains\u003c\/a\u003e – fine-pitch chains compatible with the MS 151 TC-E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/stihl-chainsaw-guide-bars\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eChainsaw Guide Bars\u003c\/a\u003e – short bars for this model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/fuel-oil\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003e2-Stroke Oil and Fuel\u003c\/a\u003e – STIHL HP Ultra and MotoMix for 2-MIX engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/chainsaw-clothing-ppe\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eArborist PPE\u003c\/a\u003e – chainsaw helmet, climbing gloves, chainsaw trousers and boots for compliant aerial work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the MS 151 TC-E compare to the MS 194 T?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MS 151 TC-E is lighter at 2.6 kg versus the MS 194 T at approximately 3.5 kg, and produces less power at 1.10 kW versus 1.4 kW.
