As a rear-handle saw it is safer and more appropriate than a top-handle for ground-based delimbing and thinning work, while at 4 kg it is light enough to use comfortably all day in positions that heavier saws would make fatiguing. M-Tronic means performance is consistent from the first cut of a cold morning through to the end of a warm afternoon without any manual adjustment. It is also one of the better-value entry points into STIHL professional forestry specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-int\/collections\/chainsaw-chains\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eReplacement Chainsaw Chains\u003c\/a\u003e – ⅜\" P chains compatible with the MS 201 C-M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-int\/collections\/stihl-chainsaw-guide-bars\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eChainsaw Guide Bars\u003c\/a\u003e – 30 and 35 cm bars for this model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-int\/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-int\/collections\/filing-kits-guides-sharpening\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eChain Sharpening Tools\u003c\/a\u003e – filing kits for ⅜\" P chain maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-int\/collections\/chainsaw-clothing-ppe\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eForestry PPE\u003c\/a\u003e – chainsaw trousers, helmets, gloves and boots for compliant forestry work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the MS 201 C-M best used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MS 201 C-M is best suited to delimbing, thinning, small-diameter felling and pruning work where low weight and manoeuvrability are priorities.

The MS 201 C-M at 35.2cc and 1.8 kW is lighter and more manoeuvrable for delimbing and thinning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat bar and chain does the MS 201 C-M use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MS 201 C-M accepts 30–35 cm (12–14\") guide bars and uses ⅜\" P chain.
