STIHL MS 251 Petrol Chainsaw: The Optimum Choice for Property Maintenance

 

The STIHL MS 251 Petrol Chainsaw stands as the top-range domestic saw in the STIHL lineup, offering exceptional performance and versatility for a wide array of applications. This chainsaw is the optimum choice for property maintenance for discerning private users and landowners across the UK, capable of handling tasks from cutting firewood to timber construction.

At its core, the MS 251 boasts a high-torque engine that delivers robust cutting power. This engine is designed to be easy to start and comfortable to use, ensuring a positive user experience even during extended operation, while maintaining a high cutting performance on various wood types.

Equipped with STIHL's advanced 2-MIX technology, the MS 251 significantly reduces both environmental impact and running costs. Emissions are cut by an impressive 70%, and fuel consumption is up to 20% lower compared to a STIHL 2-stroke engine of the same power output without 2-MIX technology. This makes the MS 251 an economically and ecologically sound investment for property owners.

For added peace of mind, 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 seamlessly register your extended warranty on the STIHL warranty database at the point of purchase.
