At 55.5cc it delivers noticeably more torque than the MS 271 for regular sustained cutting across larger volumes of firewood or agricultural timber, while staying at the same 5.6 kg weight. The wider bar range (up to 50 cm versus 45 cm on the MS 271) gives more flexibility for occasional larger-diameter work. For farmers, groundskeepers and estate managers who need a capable, practical saw for most daily tasks without needing the full output of the MS 391, the MS 291 is a strong choice.\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 – .325\" RS Pro chains for the MS 291\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 – 35–50 cm bars compatible with 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 .325\" chain maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-int\/collections\/chainsaw-clothing-ppe\" style=\"color:#1c1f27;\"\u003eChainsaw PPE\u003c\/a\u003e – trousers, helmet, gloves and boots for compliant ground-based cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the MS 291 compare to the MS 271?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth weigh 5.6 kg but the MS 291 has a larger 55.5cc engine at 2.8 kW versus the MS 271 at 50.2cc and 2.6 kW.
