Stihl MS 271 Petrol Chainsaw
The Stihl MS 271 petrol chainsaw is a powerful, semi‑professional saw ideal for harvesting firewood, landscaping, and general agricultural use. As an all‑round performer, the Stihl MS 271 petrol chainsaw combines robust engine capacity with durable build and user‑friendly features.
High Performance Engine
Equipped with a 50.2 cc 2‑MIX engine, this model delivers 2.6 kW (3.5 hp) of cutting power. It improves fuel efficiency by around 20% and cuts emissions by up to 50% compared to non‑2‑MIX engines—offering economical and eco‑conscious performance.
Lightweight Yet Strong
Despite its engine performance, the MS 271 petrol chainsaw is only 5.6 kg (without bar and chain). This strong power-to-weight ratio enables easier handling and less fatigue during extended use on the farm or in the garden.
Long-Life Air Filter
Pre-separation routing and an HD2 filter keep debris away from the engine, significantly extending service intervals and reducing maintenance hassles.
Durable and Practical Build
This saw uses side-mounted chain tensioning (tool required) for safe adjustments. With automatic Ematic chain lubrication, tool-free filler caps, and a one-piece engine cover, routine servicing is fast and easy.
Reduced Vibration & Harmful Noise
An advanced anti-vibration system reduces handle vibrations, while combi-lever controls streamline throttle, choke, and stop functions—enhancing user control and comfort throughout the job.
Guide Bar Variants
MS 271 models commonly include Stihl’s Light 04 guide bar (14″–20″) paired with .325″ RS3 Pro chains—delivering faster performance and better balance during cutting tasks.
