The MS194 T, a highly capable top-handle chainsaw by STIHL, fills the niche between the MS 151 TC-E and the MS 201 TC-E. Positioned as a versatile middle ground, it offers a lighter all-around solution suitable for both pruning jobs and full removals. Featuring a robust 31.8cc 2-MIX engine, this arborist chainsaw delivers 9% more power (1.4kW) and 7% more torque (1.5Nm) compared to its predecessor, the MS 193 TC-E.
Equipped with a ¼ P chain for swift cutting, the MS 194 T excels in tasks such as deadwood removal, reductions, crown lifts, and the felling of medium-sized trees.
Key attributes of the MS 194 T include effortless starting with STIHL ErgoStart, making it an ideal choice for trained arborists seeking a versatile tree maintenance saw. The inclusion of an economical 2-MIX engine ensures efficient performance, while captive nuts facilitate easy chain replacement.
