Description
What do you look for when choosing a new chain saw? A chain saw with the scope to manage anything from cutting firewood to thinning out small trees?
Top of the list of what you should look for must be power for the job and easy efficiency in use. And that is just what you get with two new models from STIHL – the general purpose MS 231 and MS 251 chain saws are impressive all-rounders and simply a pleasure to use.
Driven by the advanced STIHL 2-MIX engine, the new STIHL MS 231 and MS 251 models meet the latest and strict emission standards, cutting emissions by up to 70% and fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to a STIHL 2-stroke engine without the 2-MIX technology. That makes them not only cleaner to run, but more cost-efficient too.
Those are not the only benefits of the STIHL 2-MIX engine. The engine delivers impressive performance: 2.0 kW power output from the MS 231’s 40.6cc, and 2.2 kW from the MS 251 (45.6cc). And that power is translated into valuable torque, so at the working end of the chain saws they drive comfortably and effortlessly through the wood.
