The STIHL MS 391 is a high-torque petrol chainsaw built for demanding agricultural, estate and firewood work. A 64.1cc 2-MIX engine delivers 3.3 kW (4.5 hp) at 6.3 kg without bar and chain, with bar lengths from 35–50 cm (14–20"). The 2-MIX engine delivers strong torque across a wide rev range with lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions compared to conventional 2-stroke designs — ideal for users who need a capable ground saw for regular heavy-duty cutting. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery over £75.
Key Features
- 64.1cc 2-MIX Engine, 3.3 kW – Strong torque for firewood processing, larger timber and sustained farm cutting work.
- 6.3 kg Without Bar and Chain – Well-balanced for a 64cc saw; manageable for extended ground-based use.
- 35–50 cm Bar Compatibility – Covers farm and estate applications from fencing and hedge clearance through to firewood logs and windblown timber.
- Controlled-Delivery Oil Pump with Ematic System – Reduces chain oil consumption while maintaining reliable bar and chain lubrication.
- Long-Life Air Filter System – Pre-separation and HD2 filter for extended service intervals in dusty field conditions.
- Compensator Carburettor – Maintains consistent engine performance as the air filter loads between cleanings.
- Manual Decompression Valve – Reduces pull effort for easier cold and hot starts.
- Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning – Tool-free chain adjustments on site.
- STIHL Anti-Vibration System – Reduces hand-arm vibration for comfort during longer cutting sessions.
- Tool-Free Fuel and Oil Caps – Fast refuelling without tools in the field.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MS 391?
The MS 391 sits above the MS 271 and MS 291 in the STIHL farm and estate range, offering more displacement and torque for users who regularly tackle larger-diameter timber, heavy firewood volumes or sustained daily cutting work. It is not an M-Tronic saw — the compensator carburettor handles filter loading well but does require periodic manual carburettor checks for altitude or fuel changes. For farm and estate users who want reliable heavy-duty performance without stepping into the full professional forestry range, the MS 391 is the natural ceiling in this category.

FAQs
How does the MS 391 compare to the MS 291?
The MS 391 is larger at 64.1cc and 3.3 kW versus the MS 291 at 55.5cc and 2.8 kW. It delivers more torque for larger-diameter timber and heavier firewood work, at the trade-off of slightly more weight at 6.3 kg versus 5.6 kg.
What bar lengths are compatible with the MS 391?
STIHL recommend 35–50 cm (14–20") guide bars using .325" RS Pro chain. Gustharts stocks compatible options.
Does the MS 391 have M-Tronic?
No — the MS 391 uses a compensator carburettor rather than M-Tronic electronic engine management. Manual carburettor adjustment may be needed for significant altitude or fuel quality changes.
Is the MS 391 suitable for chainsaw milling?
It can be used with smaller Alaskan mill setups at the shorter end of its bar range, but for serious milling the MS 462 C-M or MS 500i are better matched for sustained load.
Is the MS 391 suitable for homeowners?
It is a heavy-duty ground saw best suited to farm, estate and professional users with regular cutting demands. For occasional domestic firewood use, the MS 271 or MSA 200 C-B are more appropriate.
