STIHL Chainsaws for commercial and farming applications are robust and powerful, with features that enable work to be done efficiently and effectively. Selected models include comfort features such as Easy2Start for simplified starting, and tool-free Quick Chain Tensioning.

Some chainsaws have to work for a living. No matter where there’s work to be done, the proven dependability of a STIHL is on the job. STIHL offers a variety of high-performance chainsaws that are engineered for service, day in and day out. The chainsaws in the “Landowner” category are ideal for a variety of uses. One thing you can be sure of – they have what it takes to get the job done. To help you identify model features, look for these corresponding symbols: C = Comfort feature, B = Quick Chain Adjuster, E = Easy2Start™, and Q = an additional chain braking system.

LANDOWNER RANGE OVERVIEW

STIHL MS 231 Wood BossВ® Chainsaw

Great for cutting firewood. Side-mounted chain tensioning for safe and easy chain tensioning, long-life air filter system for long cleaning intervals, tool-free fuel caps for safe and easy refuelling, environmentally-friendly and economical 2-MIX engine.

FEATURES

​

		STIHL 2-MIX Engine The new 2-MIX engine features an advanced stratified charge system that boosts power, whilst reducing consumption and pollution, significantly lowering unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust. The result is a cleaner, more fuel efficient engine.
		Pre-separation air filtration system The innovative long-life air filter system greatly extends the service life of the filter. Air routing removes larger particles of dirt, meaning the actual filter has less to do. So the saw can be used for longer without having to clean the filter.
		Anti-vibration system Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
		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.
		STIHL Ematic-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 up to 50%.
		Side chain tensioner The tensioning screw is located on the side of the chain saw through the sprocket cover. Chain side tensioning allows the saw chain to be retensioned effortlessly, avoiding any contact with the sharp chain.
		Single-lever master control All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
Additional Features
		STIHL ElastoStart STIHL ElastoStart reduces the shock caused by the compression of the engine during starting. The compression shock is taken away from the users joints and muscles through a spring or rubber element in the starter handle.

STIHL MS 231 C-BE Wood BossВ® Chainsaw with Rapid Duro 3

Compact chainsaw with good power-to-weight ratio and hard-wearing STIHL Rapid Duro 3 low-profile saw chain. With up to 20% less fuel consumption and up to 70% fewer emissions compared to STIHL two-stroke engines of the same performance class without 2-MIX technology. Ideal for cutting firewood and felling small trees and when a bit more power is needed. Easy to guide, great handling. With STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning and STIHL Easy2Start.

FEATURES

​

​

​

		Easy2Start Easy starting with less effort due to an additional spring between the crankshaft and the rope rotor. A smooth pull on the starter rope tensions the spring against the compression resistance of the engine. The jerks are not transmitted to the rope. The spring automatically transmits the stored energy to the crankshaft, causing it to turn and ensuring reliable starting of the engine.

		STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning (B) After loosening the sprocket cover the chain can be adjusted using a thumb wheel without the need for tools.
		Anti-vibration system Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.

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 up to 50%.
		Manual fuel pump (Purger) A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required from a cold start.
		Single-lever master control All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.

STIHL MS 251 Wood BossВ® Chainsaw

A sturdy, compact chainsaw with up to 20% less fuel consumption and up to 70% fewer emissions compared to STIHL two-stroke engines of the same performance class without 2-MIX technology. Easy to guide, great handling. The ideal saw for groundskeeping. Great for cutting firewood. Side-mounted chain tensioning for safe and easy chain tensioning. Long-life air filter system for long cleaning intervals, tool-free fuel caps for safe and easy refuelling. Environmentally-friendly and economical 2-MIX engine.

		STIHL 2-MIX Engine The new 2-MIX engine features an advanced stratified charge system that boosts power, whilst reducing consumption and pollution, significantly lowering unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust. The result is a cleaner, more fuel efficient engine.
		Advanced combustion technology Four overflow channels swirl the fuel-air mix before ignition, allowing for optimum combustion and highly efficient performance. The result: lower consumption and high torque across a broad rpm range.
		Pre-separation air filtration system The innovative long-life air filter system greatly extends the service life of the filter. Air routing removes larger particles of dirt, meaning the actual filter has less to do. So the saw can be used for longer without having to clean the filter.
		Anti-vibration system Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
		Decompression valve The decompression valve is part of the easy start-system. The valve should be pressed before starting in order to reduce the compression pressure when starting, as well as the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The decompression valve is semi-automatic, meaning that it must be pressed manually before starting, but then closes automatically.
		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.

		Variable-displacement oil pump The exact chain oil output can be adjusted maunally for varying conditions, allowing for a reduction of up to 50%.
Additional Features
		STIHL ElastoStart STIHL ElastoStart reduces the shock caused by the compression of the engine during starting. The compression shock is taken away from the users joints and muscles through a spring or rubber element in the starter handle.
