2023 Stihl Petrol chainsaws for property maintenance MS 250

Description:

A step up from the MS 230, the MS 250 is light enough to move through smaller tasks like clearing or clean-up but packs a powerful enough punch to cut through small limbs and trees. A combination of features and a high power-to-weight ratio makes this one of the best homeowner chainsaws on the market. Available with 14"/35cm, 16"/40cm or 18"/45cm guide bars.

Features may include:

Carburettor heating (V)

By changing the chain saw from summer to winter operation, the intake air is pre-heated over the engine fins. This ensures that the carburettor does not ice up and you can continue working in freezing temperatures.

Side-mounted chain tensioning

Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it easy to tension the chain safely.

Compensator

This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.
