Stihl MS 201 TC-M Petrol Chainsaw
The Stihl MS 201 TC-M petrol chainsaw is Stihl’s most powerful top-handle model, designed for trained arborists. With its 35.2 cc engine and industry-leading performance, this saw offers high precision, excellent power-to-weight ratio, and reliable use in tree-topping, crown maintenance, and pruning tasks.
Powerful and Precise
Powered by a 35.2 cc 2‑MIX engine paired with M‑Tronic engine management, the MS 201 TC-M automatically adjusts ignition and fuel mixture to deliver optimized starting and running performance—even in changing conditions. This ensures maximum torque and efficient power delivery from the first cut.
Lightweight Top-Handle Design
At just 3.7 kg (without bar and chain), this chainsaw is agile and balanced for overhead work. Its top-handle layout, combined with a fold-out hook and scabbard included with bar kits, makes it suitable for certified arborists working at height.
Durable & Easy to Use
The MS 201 TC-M includes a captive sprocket cover nut for secure bar retention and simplified chain changes. Side-mounted chain tensioning ensures adjustments are quick and precise without tools. Additionally, transparent fuel and oil tanks and tool-free filler caps reduce downtime on-site.
Comfort and Low Vibration
A built-in anti-vibration system reduces fatigue during prolonged use. The saw also runs cleaner and quieter thanks to narrow-kerf Picco chain compatibility and an efficient exhaust system, ideal for working in noise-sensitive areas.
