The STIHL MS 661 C-M is one of STIHL's most powerful production chainsaws, built for large-scale felling, heavy timber processing and demanding commercial forestry operations. A 91.1cc 2-MIX engine produces 5.4 kW (7.3 hp) at 7.5 kg without bar and chain, with M-Tronic electronic engine management delivering consistent power across all conditions. Bar lengths from 50–90 cm (20–36") make the MS 661 the right choice for large-diameter timber where the MS 462 or MS 500i reach their limits. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery over £75.
Key Features
- 91.1cc 2-MIX Engine, 5.4 kW / 7.3 hp – Formidable cutting performance with notable reductions in fuel use and emissions versus conventional 2-stroke design.
- STIHL M-Tronic Engine Management – Automatically adjusts timing and fuel mix for peak performance across temperature, altitude and fuel quality variations.
- 7.5 kg Without Bar and Chain – Substantial but manageable for a 91cc professional saw; power-to-weight ratio of 1.4 kg/kW.
- Bar Compatibility: 50–90 cm (20–36") – Covers large-diameter felling through to timber processing with appropriate bar selection.
- HD2 Washable Air Filter – Long-life pre-separation filter for dusty forestry environments with reduced maintenance frequency.
- Ematic Oil Lubrication System – Reduces bar oil consumption by up to 50% with precision demand-led delivery.
- ElastoStart and Manual Decompression Valve – Reduced starting effort and starter protection.
- Anti-Vibration System – Advanced vibration dampening for extended shifts on large timber.
- Side-Mounted Chain Tensioner and Tool-Free Caps – Fast chain adjustments and refuelling without tools.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL MS 661 C-M?
The MS 661 C-M occupies the position between the MS 500i and the MS 881 Magnum in the STIHL forestry range. At 91.1cc it delivers substantially more torque than the MS 500i for large-diameter felling without reaching the extreme weight of the MS 881 at 9.9 kg. For contractors working old-growth timber, large softwoods or hardwoods where bar lengths above 60 cm are regularly needed, the MS 661 C-M is the practical choice. M-Tronic delivers reliable performance without carburettor adjustment even at altitude or in cold conditions.

FAQs
How does the MS 661 C-M compare to the MS 500i?
The MS 661 C-M is larger at 91.1cc versus 79.2cc, producing 5.4 kW versus 5.0 kW, and weighs 7.5 kg versus 6.3 kg. The MS 661 is the better choice for consistently large-diameter timber; the MS 500i offers better weight and fuel injection technology for mixed forestry work.
What bar lengths does the MS 661 C-M accept?
STIHL recommend 50–90 cm (20–36") guide bars with ⅜" RS chain. Gustharts stocks compatible bars and chains.
Is the MS 661 C-M suitable for chainsaw milling?
Yes — with bar options up to 90 cm and strong sustained torque it is well suited to Alaskan mill and portable sawmill setups for large log processing.
Does the MS 661 C-M have a heated handle option?
No — the MS 661 C-M does not have a heated handle variant. For cold-climate forestry work with heated handles, the MS 261 C-M VW and MS 500i W are the available STIHL options.
How does M-Tronic work on the MS 661 C-M?
M-Tronic continuously monitors and adjusts ignition timing and fuel delivery electronically, removing the need for manual carburettor tuning in the field across varying temperatures, altitudes and fuel conditions.
