Product information & specifications
STIHL MS 231 Petrol Chainsaw: Powerful and Versatile for Domestic & Farm Use
The STIHL MS 231 Petrol Chainsaw is a highly versatile and capable machine, perfectly suited for private users or farmers across the UK who require a powerful tool for a range of tasks including felling small trees, cutting firewood, and general landscape maintenance.
At its core, the MS 231 features the advanced STIHL 2-MIX engine. This innovative engine technology significantly improves efficiency and reduces environmental impact, allowing emissions to be cut by up to 70% and fuel consumption to be up to 20% lower compared to a STIHL 2-stroke engine of the same power output without 2-MIX technology. This means more work done with less fuel and a smaller carbon footprint.
The MS 231 offers a robust and reliable performance for tackling common domestic and agricultural woodcutting jobs.
Extended Domestic Warranty Offer:
You can extend your domestic warranty from 2 to 3 years with the purchase of 5 litres of STIHL MotoMix® fuel alongside this product. Your STIHL Approved Dealer will handle the registration of your extended warranty on the STI STIHL warranty database at the point of purchase, making the process seamless for you.
