Gas chain saws for farming and landscaping
These STIHL chain saws are perfect for all-around use in agriculture and landscaping. Whether building with wood, sawing firewood or for ongoing maintenance, the full range of jobs can be carried out effectively with these powerful chain saws. |
model : MS 271
Durable chain saw for all around use
The MS 271 chain saw is a mid-range unit that is part of STIHL’s new generation of fuel-efficient, low emission chain saws. Designed with a stratified scavenging engine and modern construction technology, it features enhanced ergonomics and advanced anti-vibration system for operator convenience and comfort. Other features include toolless fuel and oil caps with retainers, transparent fuel tank, side-access chain tensioner and a long-life air filtration system for ease of care, making this high-performance saw the right choice for the landscaper or farmer. |
Standard features |
Advanced combustion technology
Four overflow channels swirl the fuel-air mix before ignition, allowing for optimum combustion and highly efficient performance. The result is lower fuel consumption and high torque across a broad rpm range.
|
Heated carburetor (V)
By changing the chain saw from summer to winter operation, the intake air is pre-heated over the engine fins. This ensures that the carburettor does not ice up and you can continue working in freezing temperatures.
|
STIHL anti-vibration system
Precisely calculated buffer zones minimise the transfer of engine and saw chain vibrations to the front and rear handles. The chainsaw therefore runs noticeably smoother. This allows the user to save their strength and work longer.
|
STIHL Ematic System
Compared to conventional bars without Ematic, the STIHL Ematic system reduces the consumption of chain lubricant by up to 50 %, depending on the type of wood and the cutting attachment used. This system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a variable-flow or reduced-flow oil pump. As a result, virtually every drop of chain lubricant is delivered to exactly the right spot.
|
Single-lever master control
All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
|
Tool free fuel caps
Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools. |
Reduced-emission engine technology
2-stroke engine with stratified charge. A fuel-free layer of air is created between the burned charge in the combustion chamber and the fresh charge in the crankcase, reducing the amount of fuel lost during the charge cycle. This results in more power with a lower weight, up to 20% lower fuel consumption than regular 2-stroke engines and significantly reduced exhaust emissions.
|
Pre-separation air filtration system
STIHL long-life air filtration systems with pre-separation achieve perceptibly longer filter life compared with conventional filter systems. Air drawn in is swirled. The larger, heavier particles are ejected. The pre-cleaned air is routed to the air filter via the pre-separator duct. |
Side-mounted chain tensioning
The tensioning screw can be found on the side of chain saw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.
