The STIHL MS 881 Magnum is the most powerful production chainsaw ever made — a 121.6cc 2-MIX engine delivering 6.4 kW (8.7 hp) at 9.9 kg without bar and chain. Built for professional foresters, sawmill operators and extreme timber harvesting where no other saw has sufficient displacement or sustained torque, the MS 881 accepts bars from 75 cm to 105 cm (30–41") for the largest timber applications. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery over £75.
Key Features
- 121.6cc 2-MIX Engine, 6.4 kW / 8.7 hp – Exceptional torque while meeting EU-5 emissions standards.
- Bar Compatibility: 75–105 cm (30–41") – For the largest-diameter timber applications in commercial forestry and sawmilling.
- IntelliCarb Carburettor – Maintains engine performance as the air filter loads up, without manual adjustment.
- Ematic Lubrication System – Reduces bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
- HD2 Washable Air Filter – Ultra-fine, long-life filtration for dusty logging and sawmill environments.
- Variable Oil Pump – User-adjustable oil delivery to suit bar length and cutting conditions.
- Single-Lever Master Control – Integrates choke, throttle lock and stop switch for intuitive one-handed operation.
- ElastoStart and Decompression Valve – Cushioned pull-start and reduced compression for easier starts on a large-displacement engine.
- QuickStop Chain Brake – Instant chain stop in kickback scenarios.
- Anti-Vibration System – Reduces operator fatigue during prolonged heavy-duty use.
- Tool-Free Fuel and Oil Caps – Bayonet-style locking for fast field refuelling.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MS 881 Magnum?
The MS 881 is specified when no other saw in the range is large enough. At 121.6cc it offers approximately 33% more displacement than the MS 661 C-M and accepts bars up to 105 cm — essential for felling old-growth softwoods, large hardwoods, or bucking logs too wide for smaller saws. IntelliCarb keeps the engine performing consistently as the air filter loads in sawdust-heavy environments, which on a sawmill or processing site is a practical advantage across a full shift. Gustharts stocks the MS 881 as an authorised STIHL dealer with specialist advice on bar and chain selection for specific applications.

FAQs
What makes the MS 881 different from the MS 661 C-M?
The MS 881 has a 121.6cc engine producing 6.4 kW versus the MS 661's 91.1cc and 5.4 kW. It also accepts substantially longer bars (up to 105 cm vs 90 cm), making it the choice for the largest-diameter timber where the MS 661 is insufficient.
What bar lengths are available for the MS 881?
STIHL offer 75 cm (30"), 90 cm (36") and 105 cm (41") options in Rollomatic ES and Duromatic formats. An optional saw-frame mounting is also available for portable milling setups.
Is the MS 881 suitable for chainsaw milling?
Yes — the MS 881 is one of the most capable saws for Alaskan and portable sawmill use, with the torque and bar length range to process very large logs efficiently.
What does IntelliCarb do?
IntelliCarb automatically compensates for a partially blocked air filter by adjusting the fuel-air mixture, maintaining consistent engine performance without manual intervention during heavy-dust operations.
How does ElastoStart help with a 121cc engine?
ElastoStart cushions the recoil of the pull-starter cable, reducing the shock load transmitted to the operator's arm — particularly beneficial on a high-compression large-displacement engine like the MS 881.
