About This Item
The STIHL MS 251 C BE Petrol Chainsaw with 45 cm (18 inch) guide bar and RM3 Pro saw chain is a versatile, high-performance domestic and landowner chainsaw designed for regular property maintenance, firewood cutting, pruning work, and felling small to medium sized trees. It combines strong cutting power with efficient fuel usage, making it suitable for users who require both performance and practicality.
Powered by a 45.6 cm³ STIHL 2-MIX engine, the MS 251 C BE delivers high torque output with up to 20 percent lower fuel consumption and significantly reduced emissions when compared to older STIHL two-stroke engines without 2-MIX technology. This ensures reliable performance with reduced environmental impact and lower running costs over time.
Comfort and ease of use are key advantages of this model. STIHL ErgoStart allows smooth starting with minimal effort, while STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning enables fast, tool-free chain adjustments. The long-life air filter system with pre-separation helps extend maintenance intervals and contributes to consistent engine performance, even in dusty working environments.
The STIHL anti-vibration system reduces vibration transfer to the handles, supporting controlled handling and reduced fatigue. The STIHL Ematic chain lubrication system ensures optimal oil distribution across the chain and guide bar, helping to reduce oil consumption and improve component lifespan.
