MS 151 Petrol Chainsaw

The MS 151 TC-E brings petrol autonomy to professional tree-care in a package barely heavier than many battery saws. Its 2-MIX stratified-charge engine squeezes 1.05 kW from only 23.6 cm³, giving the best power-to-displacement of any STIHL top-handle to date, yet cuts fuel use and exhaust output by around 20 % and 50 % respectively. A spring-assisted ErgoStart recoil, one-lever Master Control and side-access chain tensioner mean faster starts, fewer tools and safer adjustments aloft. The narrow-kerf ¼″ P PM3 chain on a lightweight Light 01 bar slices smoothly through limbs up to 20 cm diameter while its fully automatic oil-pump meters just 150 ml per tank, saving lubricant on long days. With anti-vibration buffers keeping handle figures near 4 m s⁻², the saw stays comfortable through extended pruning rounds, and a translucent tank lets you check fuel at a glance.

Key features

• 23.6 cm³ 2-MIX engine (1.05 kW) – high-efficiency stratified charge cuts fuel by 20 % and emissions by 50 %.
• ErgoStart + Master Control Lever – low-force starting and single-lever choke/stop simplify use in the tree.
• Side-mounted chain tensioner – protected screw lets you re-tension without touching the chain.
• Lightweight top-handle design – 2.6 kg dry weight for reduced fatigue on prolonged crown work.
• ¼″ P PM3 narrow-kerf chain – smooth, low-kickback cuts with less engine load.
