The STIHL MS 151 TC-E is the lightest professional-grade top-handle chainsaw in the STIHL range, engineered specifically for arborists and tree-care specialists who prioritise minimum weight and maximum manoeuvrability in the canopy. 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. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery over £75.
Important: Top-handle chainsaws are approved for trained professional arborists working at height only. They must not be operated by untrained users or used as a ground-based rear-handle saw.
Key Features
- Lightest Professional STIHL Top-Handle Saw – 2.6 kg without fuel, bar and chain — lowest weight in the STIHL petrol top-handle range for maximum canopy manoeuvrability.
- 23.6cc 2-MIX Engine, 1.10 kW – Fuel-efficient 2-stroke design with reduced emissions versus conventional engines.
- ErgoStart (E) – Integrated spring in the starter system reduces pull resistance for easier restarts, including while positioned in the tree.
- Compensator Carburettor – Maintains consistent engine performance as the air filter loads up, reducing the frequency of filter cleaning required on dusty sites.
- Manual Fuel Pump – Primes the carburettor for reliable cold starts and after periods of non-use.
- Fold-Out Hook – Secure harness attachment for safe transport and positioning when climbing.
- Side-Mounted Chain Tensioner – Tool-free chain adjustments on site.
- Tool-Free Fuel and Oil Caps – Bayonet-style twist caps with retainers for fast refuelling, including with gloves.
- Anti-Vibration System – Reduces hand-arm vibration for comfort during extended aerial use.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MS 151 TC-E?
The MS 151 TC-E is specified when minimum weight is the primary requirement — for arborists working in tight branch unions, doing extended fine pruning sessions, or where every gram of tool weight matters over a full climbing day. 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.

FAQs
How does the MS 151 TC-E compare to the MS 194 T?
The 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. It is the better choice where minimum weight is the priority; the MS 194 T is better for more demanding or larger-diameter aerial cutting work.
What does ErgoStart mean on the MS 151 TC-E?
ErgoStart is STIHL's starter system that incorporates an integrated spring to absorb and cushion the pull force, significantly reducing the effort needed to start the engine — particularly useful when restarting at height.
What does the compensator carburettor do?
The compensator carburettor automatically adjusts the fuel-air mixture as the air filter becomes partially blocked, maintaining consistent engine performance without requiring a manual filter clean mid-task.
Is the MS 151 TC-E suitable for homeowners?
No — it is a professional top-handle climbing saw for trained arborists only. For domestic use, a rear-handle saw is more appropriate and safer.
What bar and chain does the MS 151 TC-E use?
Contact Gustharts for bar and chain specifications for this model — our team can advise on compatible options for the specific cutting applications you have in mind.
