The STIHL MS251 chainsaw is powerful and compact. With up to 20% less fuel consumption and up to 50% reduction in emissions compared to conventional STIHL two-stroke engines without 2-MIX technology.

This chainsaw has a fantastic power to weight ratio, making it ideal for farm use where a saw may have to be carried for long periods. This saw is one of our biggest sellers because it is light and easy to handle and yet is strong enough for most day to day tasks.

The STIHL MS 251 comes with a strong .325 cutting chain for excellent durability.

Available in 16" or 18"

Standard features:

Reduced emission 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.

Anti vibration technology:

Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine's engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.

Pre-seperation 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.

Compensator:

This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.

Single lever master control:

All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.

Side chain tensioner:

The tensioning screw can be found on the side of the chain saw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.e

Ematic chain lubrication system:

The Ematic chain lubrication system ensures pinpoint lubrication of the saw chain links and guide bar rails. When used with STIHL OILOMATIC saw chain, it will provide maximum lubrication, longer wear and less oil consumption than conventional methods of chain lubrication. The Ematic system can reduce bar oil consumption by up to 50%.

Tool free filler caps: Special catches on the fuel and oil tanks for easy opening and locking without the need for tools.
