Product description
The STIHL MS 201 TC-M is a powerful petrol chainsaw for professional tree care. It impresses with its compact design, low weight and high cutting performance – ideal for precise work in the tree crown and in confined spaces. The powerful 1.8 kW STIHL 2-MIX engine, combined with electronic STIHL M-Tronic, delivers consistent performance in every situation.
Common problems
In demanding professional tree care, lighter arborist saws often reach their limits:
- Lower power classes struggle with thicker branches or frequent continuous use.
- Without electronic engine management, performance varies with temperature and altitude.
- Awkward chain changes waste time when working frequently in trees.
Solution
The STIHL MS 201 TC-M tackles this with a powerful 1.8 kW engine and electronic STIHL M-Tronic, which optimally adjusts ignition timing and fuel metering in every operating condition. Captive nuts on the sprocket cover and the lightweight bar also allow fast work with reduced overall weight.
