The STIHL MS 201 TC-M Petrol Top-Handle Chainsaw is STIHL’s most powerful top-handle chainsaw, designed specifically for professional arborists carrying out aerial tree work. Combining STIHL M-Tronic engine management, a fuel-efficient 2-MIX engine and exceptional power-to-weight performance, it delivers outstanding cutting capability, balance and manoeuvrability for demanding tree maintenance tasks.
The STIHL MS 201 TC-M Petrol Top-Handle Chainsaw is the most powerful top-handle saw in the STIHL range, engineered specifically for professional arborists and trained tree care specialists working at height.
Designed for aerial tree work, pruning, dismantling and crown reduction, the MS 201 TC-M combines exceptional cutting performance with a compact and lightweight design. The advanced STIHL 2-MIX engine provides strong power output while reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, making it an efficient choice for daily professional use.
Equipped as standard with STIHL M-Tronic electronic engine management, the chainsaw automatically adjusts ignition timing and fuel metering to suit changing operating conditions. This ensures optimum engine performance, responsive acceleration and reliable starting, regardless of temperature, altitude or fuel quality.
The MS 201 TC-M is fitted with a lightweight guide bar that helps minimise overall weight while maintaining excellent balance and manoeuvrability. This makes the saw particularly effective when carrying out precision cutting tasks in confined spaces within the tree canopy.
Operator comfort is enhanced by the STIHL anti-vibration system, which helps reduce vibration transfer to the handles and minimises fatigue during prolonged use. Maintenance is also simplified thanks to captive bar nuts fitted to the sprocket cover, helping prevent loss during chain adjustments and routine servicing.
Available in a choice of guide bar lengths, the MS 201 TC-M is the ideal professional chainsaw for arborists who require a powerful, lightweight and highly manoeuvrable saw for everyday tree care operations.
Please note: Top-handle chainsaws are designed exclusively for trained professionals working in aerial environments and should only be used by appropriately qualified operators.
The MS 201 TC-M is available with either a 12″ (30cm) or 14″ (35cm) Guide Bar & Chain. Please select your preferred blade length from the dropdown menu.
