STIHL MS 201 TC-M Petrol Chainsaw

STIHL MS 201 TC-M Petrol Chainsaw – High Power for Cutting at Height

For arborists and tree surgeons, having the right tool is essential when working at height. The MS 201 TC-M is the most powerful STIHL top handle chainsaw, designed specifically for trained professionals who demand reliability, balance, and top levels of performance. This STIHL professional chainsaw brings together advanced engine technology, intelligent features, and ergonomic design to help you deliver dependable results with every cut.

Engine Power and Performance

The MS 201 TC-M STIHL Petrol Chainsaw is powered by a 35.2 cc 2-MIX engine, producing 1.8 kW (2.4 hp). This efficient power unit combines impressive torque with reduced fuel consumption and low emissions, ensuring that you get maximum performance while minimising running costs. The power-to-weight ratio of just 2.1 kg/kW highlights the machine’s efficiency, making it one of the best STIHL chainsaws for aerial work.

Fitted with STIHL M-Tronic technology, the MS 201 TC-M top handle chainsaw automatically adjusts ignition timing and fuel metering depending on temperature, altitude, and fuel quality. This ensures quick starting and consistent operation, even in challenging conditions. The advanced four-channel combustion system improves efficiency by burning fuel more completely, increasing power while keeping emissions low.

Bar Options and Chain

The MS 201 TC-M STIHL handheld chainsaw is available with a lightweight 30 cm (12 inch) or 35 cm (14 inch) guide bar, matched with a 3/8″ P chain. This combination provides smooth cutting performance while keeping the overall weight of the saw low. The balanced design allows for precise handling in confined spaces, making it an ideal STIHL pruning chainsaw for delicate but demanding work in the canopy.

Comfort and Control

Working at height can be tiring, so comfort is vital. STIHL’s anti-vibration system reduces strain by minimising vibrations transmitted through the handle, allowing you to work more effectively for longer periods of time. The lightweight guide bar and compact design further support balance and manoeuvrability, which is essential when handling a STIHL pro chainsaw in aerial situations.

Oil Management and Efficiency

The MS 201 TC-M STIHL chainsaw features a variable-displacement oil pump, which reduces oil use by up to 50%. Operators can select the ‘E’ position for controlled lubrication, or increase the flow for very dry wood and extended bar lengths. Combined with the STIHL Ematic system, oil is delivered precisely where it is needed, ensuring optimal chain life and further reducing consumption. This efficiency not only lowers running costs but also helps reduce environmental impact.

Practical Features for Arborists

This STIHL top handle chainsaw has been designed with the arborist in mind. The fold-out hook allows the saw to be securely attached to a rope, making it easy to raise, lower, or secure when climbing. A sturdy scabbard protects the chain during transport and attaches to a harness with integrated eyelets, keeping the tool close at hand when not in use.

The side-mounted chain tensioning allows for quick, simple adjustments, while captive nuts prevent parts from being lost during chain or bar changes. A built-in compensator maintains consistent engine performance even as the air filter becomes dirty, meaning less frequent cleaning and reduced downtime.
