The Stihl MS 181 C-BE is an easy to start petrol chainsaw, that’s powered by a STIHL 2-MIX 31.8cc 2-stroke engine. It is ideal for logging up or felling small trees.
It’s similar to the MS 181, with a two extra comfort features; ErgoStart and Chain Quick Tensioning. ErgoStart cuts the effort required to start the chainsaw by half, the starter rope can be pulled at just 1/3 of the normal force whilst the Quick Chain Tensioning means the chain can be adjusted using an easy to operate thumb wheel, without the need for tools.
The MS181C-BE has a choice of two bar sizes, 14″/35cm or 16″/40cm, it’s also fitted with a 3/8″P saw chain, which provides less kick-back for safer working conditions.
Packed full of innovative technology, this petrol chainsaw is compact and easy to use, and will make light work of small trees, logs and timber work.
