Why Choose This Chainsaw:
The STIHL MS291 Chainsaw offers a perfect balance of power, durability and efficiency for demanding cutting tasks. Its high-torque 2-MIX engine makes light work of tough timber, while the advanced air filtration and anti-vibration system ensure reliable, comfortable operation. Built to STIHL’s trusted standards, the MS 291 is an excellent long-term investment for landowners and professionals who require dependable cutting performance.
The STIHL MS291 semi-professional chainsaw has a modern design and features STIHL's 2-stroke engine with 2-MIX technology which cuts fuel consumption by up to 20% and emissions by up to 50% when compared with STIHL's conventional 2-stroke engines.
STIHL have fitted a 55.5cc engine to the MS291 that generates 2.8kW / 3.8hp and makes light work of general landscape, farm and garden maintenance tasks including felling, logging and cutting timber. The STIHL MS291 is a practical all-round chainsaw for farmers, landscapers and gardeners.
The MS291 features STIHL's long-life air filter system to ensure maximum life from the air filter while professional anti-vibration technology, with precisely calculated buffer zones, reduces the transfer of vibration from the engine and chain to the front and rear handles ensuring operator comfort.
When it is time for a spot of maintenance, STIHL's one piece removable engine cover makes access to the engine quick and easy ensuring minimum downtime during routine maintenance.
Adding chain oil and fuel is quick and easy thanks to STIHL's quick release tank caps. A semi-transparent fuel tank allows you to easily check the fuel level without opening the tank.
Chain tensioning is achieved on the STIHL MS291 by loosening two nuts (combination tool provided) and using the side chain tensioner which keeps your hands away from the chain whilst turning the adjuster.
The STIHL MS291 is available with a 16” (40cm) or 18” (45cm) guide bar. Please note, cutting length will always be a little shorter than the bar length because of the way guide bars are measured. The difference between the guide bar length and cutting length varies by chainsaw model.
Extend your warranty by an extra year
Purchase a 5 litre bottle of STIHL MotoMix at the same time as buying this machine, and you'll get an extra year on your domestic use warranty - extending your warranty from two years to three. This is subject to STIHL's warranty terms, and machines used in a commercial application don't benefit from the warranty extension.
Simply add 5 litres of MotoMix to your cart alongside your machine before placing your order and we'll register your extended warranty with STIHL.
Side Chain Adjuster
The side chain adjuster helps keep your hands away from the chain when adjusting the chain tension.
Transparent Fuel Tank and Quick Release Caps
A transparent fuel tank allows you to easily see when it is time to refuel and the quick release fuel and chain oil tank caps make refuelling and topping up with chain oil quick and easy.
Extend your Professional Use Warranty with a STIHL Smart Connector
Extend your commercial warranty from 1 to 2 years when you order a STIHL Smart Connector fleet management system with this machine.
