In frosty temperatures, the STIHL MS 261 C-M VW professional chainsaw is the right choice for forestry work in weak and medium stands. The electric handle heating keeps your hands warm, ensuring comfortable and safe operation. Additionally, the electronic carburetor heating prevents the carburetor from freezing. This means you can rely on your chainsaw to be ready for use even in low temperatures, allowing you to work effectively. The powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine with 3.0 kW (4.1 HP) delivers the necessary performance while supporting low fuel consumption. Thanks to STIHL M-Tronic, you can work quickly with optimal engine performance at a constant maximum speed. This aids the starting process and regulates the ignition timing and fuel dosage. High cutting performance with reduced weight is achieved with the STIHL .325"-RS Pro saw chain in combination with the STIHL Light 04 guide bar. The STIHL Ematic system ensures that every drop of oil is directed exactly where it is needed, allowing you to utilize the power as efficiently and continuously as possible. Furthermore, the operating time is extended by the long-life air filter system with pre-separation and the HD2 air filter, giving you longer maintenance intervals.
