The STIHL MS 201 C-M is a lightweight professional petrol chainsaw built for delimbing, thinning and precision forestry work. A 35.2cc 2-MIX engine delivers 1.8 kW (2.4 bhp) at just 4 kg without fuel and bar, with M-Tronic electronic engine management maintaining consistent performance across temperature and altitude changes. Bar lengths from 30–35 cm (12–14") using ⅜" P chain make it ideal for fast, manoeuvrable work in the canopy or on the ground. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery over £75.
Key Features
- STIHL M-Tronic Engine Management – Automatically optimises fuel and ignition settings for consistent performance without manual carburettor adjustment.
- 35.2cc 2-MIX Engine, 1.8 kW – Compact displacement with reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
- 4 kg Without Fuel and Bar – One of the lightest professional rear-handle saws in the STIHL range; excellent for sustained delimbing and thinning work.
- Ematic Lubrication System – Reduces bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
- STIHL Easy2Start – Significantly reduces starting effort for reliable starts every time.
- Quick Chain Tensioner – Tool-free chain tension adjustments on site.
- Anti-Vibration System – Minimises hand-arm vibration for comfort during extended delimbing or thinning shifts.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MS 201 C-M?
The MS 201 C-M fills the gap between professional top-handle climbing saws and the mid-range forestry saws like the MS 261 C-M. 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.

FAQs
What is the MS 201 C-M best used for?
The MS 201 C-M is best suited to delimbing, thinning, small-diameter felling and pruning work where low weight and manoeuvrability are priorities. Its 30–35 cm bar range is not suited to large-diameter timber.
What is the difference between the MS 201 C-M and the MS 261 C-M?
The MS 261 C-M has a larger 50.2cc engine producing 3.0 kW and accepts bars up to 45 cm, making it significantly more capable for felling and cross-cutting. The MS 201 C-M at 35.2cc and 1.8 kW is lighter and more manoeuvrable for delimbing and thinning.
What bar and chain does the MS 201 C-M use?
The MS 201 C-M accepts 30–35 cm (12–14") guide bars and uses ⅜" P chain. Replacement options are stocked at Gustharts.
Is the MS 201 C-M suitable for homeowners?
It is a professional-specification saw. For occasional domestic use, the STIHL MSA 80 C-B or a saw from the STIHL Farm Boss range are more appropriate choices.
Does M-Tronic require adjustment when moving between altitudes?
No — M-Tronic automatically compensates for altitude changes without any manual input, which is particularly useful for forestry work across varied terrain.
