The STIHL MS 291 is a dependable all-round petrol chainsaw built for agricultural, estate and serious firewood cutting work. A 55.5cc 2-MIX engine delivers 2.8 kW (3.8 hp) at 5.6 kg without bar and chain, with bar lengths from 35–50 cm (14–20"). The long-life air filter system, compensator carburettor and anti-vibration system make it a practical daily-use saw for farms, smallholdings and land management. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery over £75.
Key Features
- 55.5cc 2-MIX Engine, 2.8 kW – Four-channel combustion technology for strong performance with lower fuel use and reduced emissions.

- 35–50 cm Bar Compatibility – Versatile range covering firewood processing, agricultural timber, fencing and windblown clearance.
- Long-Life Air Filter System – Pre-separation and HD2 filter extend service intervals in dusty farm environments.
- Compensator Carburettor – Maintains consistent engine performance as the air filter loads, reducing maintenance interruptions.
- STIHL Anti-Vibration System – Reduces hand-arm vibration for comfort during extended cutting sessions.
- Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning – Tool-free adjustments on site.

Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MS 291?
The MS 291 occupies a practical position between the lighter MS 271 and the heavier MS 391 in the STIHL farm and estate range. At 55.5cc it delivers noticeably more torque than the MS 271 for regular sustained cutting across larger volumes of firewood or agricultural timber, while staying at the same 5.6 kg weight. The wider bar range (up to 50 cm versus 45 cm on the MS 271) gives more flexibility for occasional larger-diameter work. For farmers, groundskeepers and estate managers who need a capable, practical saw for most daily tasks without needing the full output of the MS 391, the MS 291 is a strong choice.

FAQs
How does the MS 291 compare to the MS 271?
Both weigh 5.6 kg but the MS 291 has a larger 55.5cc engine at 2.8 kW versus the MS 271 at 50.2cc and 2.6 kW. The MS 291 also accepts longer bars up to 50 cm. It suits more sustained and heavier cutting work; the MS 271 is better for lighter farm tasks and occasional firewood.
How does the MS 291 compare to the MS 391?
The MS 391 is larger at 64.1cc and 3.3 kW, and heavier at 6.3 kg. It delivers more torque for the largest farm and estate cutting tasks. The MS 291 is the better choice for most day-to-day agricultural work where the extra weight of the MS 391 isn't justified.
What bar lengths does the MS 291 accept?
STIHL recommend 35–50 cm (14–20") guide bars with .325" RS Pro chain. Gustharts stocks compatible options.
Does the MS 291 have M-Tronic?
No — it uses a compensator carburettor. M-Tronic is available on the professional MS 261 C-M at a similar displacement.
Is the MS 291 suitable for homeowners?
Yes — it suits serious homeowners with regular firewood cutting or estate work, as well as farm and professional users needing a dependable mid-range ground saw.
