STIHL MS 251 C-BE: A Professional Petrol Chainsaw for Every Task

Power, performance, and precision come together in the STIHL MS 251 C-BE – a versatile and efficient petrol chainsaw designed for those who take their work seriously. Whether you’re preparing firewood, tackling timber construction, or managing estate maintenance, this machine delivers the strength and reliability expected from STIHL chainsaws. Showcasing advanced engineering with ease of use, the MS251CBE is a great tool to have by your side in any demanding environment.

Powerful and Efficient Engine Performance

At the heart of this STIHL petrol chainsaw is a robust 45.6 cc 2-MIX engine, producing 2.2 kW (3 hp) of power. Its exceptional torque ensures strong, consistent cutting even under heavy load. Despite its strength, STIHL’s 2-MIX engine is remarkably efficient, using up to 20% less fuel and emitting 70% fewer gases compared to older two-stroke engines of similar power. This makes the MS 251CBE one of the best STIHL chainsaws for people who want cleaner performance without sacrificing cutting capability. With an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 2.40 kg/kW, it offers balanced control and all-day comfort.

Precision Cutting with Choice of Bar Lengths

The STIHL MS 251 C-BE Petrol Chainsaw comes with a choice of a 40 cm (16-inch) or 45 cm (18-inch) guide bar. The .325″ chain pitch ensures smooth, accurate cuts across a range of surfaces, while durable metal bumper spikes provide stability and precision during operation. Whether you’re shaping timber beams or cutting seasoned logs, this STIHL professional chainsaw provides dependable results every time.

Effortless Starting and Smooth Operation

Starting this chainsaw is simple thanks to STIHL ErgoStart, which significantly reduces the effort needed to pull the starter cord. A spring-assisted mechanism ensures a gentle, steady pull is all it takes to bring the engine to life. The manual fuel pump further aids quick starting, even after long storage periods. Combined with STIHL’s advanced anti-vibration system, which isolates vibrations before they reach the handles, this makes the MS 251CBE saw an exceptionally user-friendly tool – especially when embarking on challenging cutting sessions.

Reduced Oil Use and Simple Chain Tensioning

The STIHL Ematic system ensures the chain receives precise lubrication exactly where it’s needed, reducing oil consumption by up to 50%. The result is cleaner operation, lower running costs, and longer chain life. Chain adjustments are tool-free thanks to STIHL Quick Chain Tensioning. With a simple turn of the wheel, you can tighten or release the chain quickly, ensuring your saw stays in top condition with minimal downtime.

Designed for Durability and Low Maintenance

Every element of this STIHL handheld chainsaw is engineered for longevity. A compensator automatically regulates the fuel and air mixture as the air filter becomes dirty, keeping performance stable over time. Meanwhile, the long-life air filter system with pre-separation and HD2 filter keeps fine dust out of the engine, extending service intervals and maintaining reliable performance in dusty or heavy-duty environments.

Practical and User-Friendly Design

The MS 251 C-BE STIHL Petrol Chainsaw features tool-free, bayonet-style fluid caps, allowing quick refuelling and oil top-ups without fuss. An ergonomic build makes it one of the most user-friendly STIHL chainsaws for sale, while the sturdy body and professional-grade build quality ensure it’s ready for years of dependable service.
