Details

The STIHL MS 231 C-BE is a compact, high-performance petrol chainsaw designed for users who need reliable cutting power for felling small trees, cutting firewood, and general property maintenance. Whether you're managing a lifestyle block, working in the forest, or handling timber in a trade, this chainsaw offers the perfect balance of power, comfort, and user-friendly features.

Easy Starting & Chain Adjustment: With STIHL ErgoStart (E), starting the chainsaw is smooth and effortless. The Chain Quick Tensioning (B) system allows you to adjust the chain without tools.

Powerful & Efficient Engine: The 2.0 kW STIHL 2-MIX engine delivers strong cutting performance while reducing fuel consumption and emissions, making it more economical and environmentally friendly than traditional 2-stroke engines.

Compact & Versatile Design: Its compact build makes it easy to handle in tight spaces, and it’s a popular choice among skilled tradespeople for its precision and reliability.

Comfortable Operation: The STIHL anti-vibration system reduces strain on your muscles and joints during extended use. 

Cleaner & Longer-Lasting Performance: Pre-separation air filtration keeps larger dirt particles away from the filter, reducing cleaning frequency. Add an optional HD2 air filter for even longer filter life and uninterrupted operation.

User-Friendly Features: Tool-free fuel cap for quick and easy refills, transparent fuel tank for instant level checks, and side-access chain tensioner for fast adjustments.

These features make the MS 231 C-BE easy to maintain and operate, even for less experienced users.

NOTE:

Your Chainsaw will require engine oil and bar lube. We recommend STIHL HP ULTRA TWO STROKE ENGINE OIL and STIHL SYNTH PLUS CHAIN LUBRICATION for your machine.
