The STIHL MS 271 is a mid-range petrol chainsaw designed for farm, estate and serious domestic use. A 50.2cc 2-MIX engine delivers 2.6 kW (3.5 hp) at 5.6 kg without bar and chain, with bar lengths from 35–45 cm (14–18"). The long-life air filter system with HD2 pre-separation reduces maintenance frequency in dusty field conditions, and the anti-vibration system keeps the saw comfortable across extended firewood or hedge-laying sessions. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery over £75.
Key Features
- 50.2cc 2-MIX Engine, 2.6 kW – Efficient combustion with lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions versus conventional 2-stroke engines.
- 5.6 kg Without Bar and Chain – Manageable weight for daily farm and estate cutting work.
- 35–45 cm Bar Compatibility – Suits firewood processing, hedge laying, fencing and general estate maintenance.
- Long-Life Air Filter System – Pre-separation routing and HD2 filter extend service intervals in dusty environments.
- Compensator Carburettor – Maintains consistent engine performance as the filter loads between cleanings.
- Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning – Tool-free chain adjustments without touching the cutting chain.
- Anti-Vibration System – Steel spring dampening for reduced fatigue during extended use.
- Tool-Free Fuel and Oil Caps – Fast bayonet-style refuelling in the field.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MS 271?
The MS 271 sits between the smaller domestic STIHL range and the heavier farm-spec MS 291 and MS 391. At 50.2cc and 5.6 kg it is well-proportioned for users who need genuine cutting authority for firewood and estate maintenance without the weight of a larger saw. It shares the same 50.2cc displacement as the professional MS 261 C-M but without M-Tronic, making it a more affordable and practically capable choice for farm and estate users who don't need electronic engine management. The compensator carburettor handles normal filter loading well across a working day.

FAQs
How does the MS 271 compare to the MS 291?
The MS 291 has a larger 55.5cc engine producing 2.8 kW versus the MS 271 at 50.2cc and 2.6 kW. Both weigh 5.6 kg. The MS 291 suits slightly heavier and more sustained cutting work; the MS 271 is better for lighter farm and estate use and occasional firewood.
What bar lengths does the MS 271 accept?
STIHL recommend 35–45 cm (14–18") guide bars with .325" RM3 Pro chain. Replacement options are stocked at Gustharts.
Is the MS 271 suitable for regular daily use on a farm?
Yes for light-to-medium daily farm use — fencing, hedge laying, windblown timber and firewood. For sustained heavy daily cutting, the MS 291 or MS 391 are better matched.
Does the MS 271 have M-Tronic?
No — the MS 271 uses a compensator carburettor. M-Tronic is available on the professional MS 261 C-M at the same 50.2cc displacement.
Is the MS 271 suitable for homeowners?
Yes — it is well suited to serious homeowners with larger gardens, regular firewood cutting or small-scale estate work, as well as farm and professional users with moderate cutting demands.
