STIHL MS 201 T C-M Arborist Chainsaw 2.4HP Gas Top Handle 16 Inch

Professional Arborist Performance with Advanced STIHL Technology

The STIHL MS 201 T C-M Professional Arborist Chainsaw is the most powerful top-handle gasoline chainsaw in the STIHL range, specifically engineered for professional tree care specialists, arborists, and climbing crews who require maximum performance in demanding aerial cutting applications.

Powered by a high-performance 2.4HP (1.8kW) gasoline engine, the MS 201 T C-M delivers exceptional cutting power while maintaining a lightweight and compact design that reduces operator fatigue during extended use. Its outstanding power-to-weight ratio ensures superior maneuverability when working in confined spaces high above the ground.

At the heart of the saw is STIHL’s advanced M-Tronic™ Intelligent Engine Management System, which automatically adjusts engine settings based on temperature, altitude, fuel quality, and operating conditions. This technology ensures optimum engine performance, easier starting, improved fuel efficiency, and consistent power output without manual carburetor adjustments.

The chainsaw is equipped with a precision 3/8″ Picco Super (PS) chain that delivers aggressive cutting performance, smooth operation, and excellent cutting accuracy. Combined with STIHL’s lightweight guide bar technology, the saw provides fast cutting speeds while minimizing operator effort.

Designed specifically for professional arborists, the ergonomic top-handle configuration offers excellent balance and control when performing pruning, dismantling, crown reduction, and aerial tree maintenance. STIHL’s anti-vibration system significantly reduces vibration levels, increasing comfort and reducing fatigue throughout the workday.

With premium safety features including the STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake, side-access chain tensioning system, Easy2Start™ technology, and automatic chain lubrication, the MS 201 T C-M provides the reliability, safety, and performance professionals depend on every day.
