Features
-
Anti-vibration system
STIHL's anti-vibration system keeps vibration levels down throughout the saw, which reduces operator fatigue and makes for a more comfortable working day.
-
Side-access chain tensioner
Adjust the chain with a bar wrench from the side of the saw, instead of reaching for the usual guide bar adjustment screw. It is far more convenient when you are working.
Product information & specifications
STIHL MS 231 Petrol Chainsaw: Powerful and Versatile for Domestic & Farm Use
The STIHL MS 231 Petrol Chainsaw is a highly versatile and capable machine, perfectly suited for private users or farmers across the UK who require a powerful tool for a range of tasks including felling small trees, cutting firewood, and general landscape maintenance.
At its core, the MS 231 features the advanced STIHL 2-MIX engine. This innovative engine technology significantly improves efficiency and reduces environmental impact, allowing emissions to be cut by up to 70% and fuel consumption to be up to 20% lower compared to a STIHL 2-stroke engine of the same power output without 2-MIX technology. This means more work done with less fuel and a smaller carbon footprint.
The MS 231 offers a robust and reliable performance for tackling common domestic and agricultural woodcutting jobs.
Extended Domestic Warranty Offer:
You can extend your domestic warranty from 2 to 3 years with the purchase of 5 litres of STIHL MotoMix® fuel alongside this product.
