There’s a good reason STIHL is the #1 selling brand of chainsaws worldwide.

From the MS 170 to the professional MS 661 C-M and everything in between, STIHL saws are hard to beat when it comes to power, performance and dependability.

With firewood gathering season right around the corner, let’s compare two of our favorite models from STIHL.

The MS291:
The MS291 is a high-powered, high-tech, low-maintenance chainsaw, and perfect for the homeowner who has about 10 acres of land to manage. If you plan to burn through 5-10 cords of firewood a year, this saw is perfect for the job. It’s also an ideal saw to manage moderate storm clean-up and features a fuel-saving engine with a longer run time and low emissions.

You’ll also find anti-vibration technology, a side access chain tensioner and a pre-separation air filtration system as standard features on the MS291.

The MS261:
If you have larger volume cutting to manage, you should take a look at the MS261 professional saw.

This saw weighs almost 2 pounds less than the 291, reducing fatigue during those long days in the field. The ergonomic design offers an ideal power to weight ratio with great fuel efficiency and low emissions.

Like the MS291, the MS261 also comes standard with an anti-vibration system for enhanced comfort and an easy access air filtration system.

The redesigned spiked bumper helps prevent kickback and with STIHL’s  ElastoStart™ starter handle technology, you’ll find that cranking the 261 is a breeze with just a few quick strokes.
