STIHL MS 261 C-M VW Professional Petrol Chainsaw – 35cm / 14" Bar (.325" R Chain)
The STIHL MS 261 C-M VW is a high-performance professional chainsaw, specially designed for forestry and all-weather operation. This version comes with a 35cm / 14" guide bar and a .325" R semi-chisel chain, offering low kickback, smoother cuts, and excellent control in dense wood and colder conditions.
The "VW" designation indicates the inclusion of heated handles and a heated carburettor, which make this saw the perfect choice for winter work or use in damp, freezing conditions. The M-Tronic engine management system ensures consistent power delivery and automatically adjusts fuel and ignition settings, so you don’t need to tune it manually.
Its 50.2cc 2-MIX engine delivers outstanding torque with reduced emissions and improved fuel efficiency, while features like the HD2 air filter, anti-vibration system, and decompression valve enhance durability and user comfort during demanding shifts.
