About the STIHL MS 194 T Petrol Chainsaw
STIHL MS 194 T Petrol Chainsaw – Versatile Power for Arborists
When tree care calls for consistent performance across a wide range of jobs, professionals need a reliable and balanced saw that delivers excellent results. The STIHL MS 194 T Petrol Chainsaw sits proudly between the lighter MS 151 TC-E and the heavier MS 201 TC-E, making it an excellent all-round option for arborists who want versatility without compromising on strength. Compact yet powerful, this STIHL top handle chainsaw is perfect for pruning, crown maintenance, and small to medium-sized tree removals.
Engine Performance and Efficiency
The MS 194 T STIHL handheld chainsaw is driven by a robust 31.8 cc STIHL 2-MIX engine that produces 1.4 kW (1.9 hp). This modern engine technology ensures more torque, improved fuel efficiency, and lower emissions compared with older models. Delivering 9% more power and 7% more torque than its predecessor (the MS 193 TC-E), this STIHL professional chainsaw provides the cutting strength required for both delicate pruning and heavier arborist work. With a low power-to-weight ratio of 2.4 kg/kW, it offers excellent performance without undue strain, a quality that makes it one of the best STIHL chainsaws for day-to-day tree care.
Bar Options for Different Tasks
Flexibility is essential for arborists who work on a wide variety of projects. That is why the MS 194 T STIHL pro chainsaw comes with the choice of a 30 cm (12 inch) or 35 cm (14 inch) guide bar, matched with a finely engineered ¼” P chain. This combination delivers a fast, smooth cut that is ideal for precise pruning, removing deadwood, and taking down smaller trees. The tool’s balanced weight of 3.3kg (without bar, chain and fuel) enhances control in tight spaces, making it a dependable STIHL pruning chainsaw for professionals tackling both crown lifts and removals.
Designed for Comfort and Ease of Use
Comfort plays a major role in maintaining efficiency during long working hours. STIHL ErgoStart makes firing up the machine smooth and reliable, eliminating the frustration of difficult pull starts. The STIHL anti-vibration system reduces strain and allows users to work longer with less fatigue, while a rear handguard adds to operator safety.
HD2 Filter for Easy Maintenance
Durability is built into every aspect of this STIHL pro chainsaw. The HD2 filter is designed to keep even fine dust particles away from the engine, protecting internal components and ensuring a longer working life. This filter is washable, which makes ongoing maintenance cost-effective and straightforward. A compensator ensures the engine continues to run at optimal power even as the air filter gathers dirt, minimising maintenance requirements. Captive nuts make chain changes quick and hassle-free.
Efficient Fuel and Oil Systems
The STIHL MS 194 T Petrol Chainsaw’s transparent fuel tank allows you to check levels at a glance, and its tool-free bayonet cap makes refuelling simple, saving valuable time on site. The controlled-delivery oil pump gives users the option to select the correct level of lubrication depending on wood type and cutting conditions, reducing wastage and helping prolong bar and chain life.
