Stihl MS 261 C-M
Great for forestry work and harvesting small to medium sized stands. STIHL M-Tronic fitted as standard to ensure optimum engine performance at all times. Top selling powerful saw, now equipped with newly designed Light 04 guide bar and .325" RS Pro saw chain for improved cutting performance.
The STIHL MS 261 C-M petrol chainsaw is the perfect tool for small to medium tree maintenance work. This new version features a newly designed Light 04 guide bar as well as the new .325” RS Pro saw chain for improved cutting performance. The high performance .325” saw chain provides up to 20% more cutting performance compared to its predecessor (.325” RS) due to the narrower kerf. This light and well-balanced saw delivers plenty of power, whilst the M-Tronic technology controls the fuel and air mix at all times so the machine is always at optimum performance. The STIHL anti-vibration system significantly reduces vibrations at the handles for comfortable use of this petrol chainsaw throughout your working day.
The MS 261 C-M is a versatile, professional petrol chainsaw allowing you to run a selection of different bar lengths to suit your needs. It also includes useful features such as the easy-clean HD2 filter, adjustable oil delivery to the bar and chain, stainless steel muffler and captive nuts on the sprocket cover. The 2-MIX technology in the MS 261 C-M petrol chainsaw ensures up to 20% less fuel consumption and up to 50% less emissions compared to the equivalent STIHL two-stroke engines without 2-MIX technology.
When it is time for a spot of maintenance, Stihl’s one piece removable engine cover makes access to the engine quick and easy. Adding chain oil and fuel is simple thanks to Stihl’s quick release tank caps. The semi-transparent fuel tank allows you to easily check the fuel level without opening the tank.
