STIHL Professional Chain Saws

Anyone looking for professional chainsaws should seriously consider Stihl professional chainsaws. When looking for power, durability and functionality, Stihl has them all. From arborist companies, forestry,  construction companies, professional landscaping to general utility ones, they all have a suitable chainsaw within Stihl line.  Even  rescue services have a model meeting their needs, such as the MS460, specifically designed to fulfil the necessities of such services as fire service, technical maintenance personnel and emergency services.

Stihl company has a long history in chainsaws manufacturing, and they have been constantly developing new technologies and adding them to their products. All these result in a top quality line of professional chainsaws that offers different models for every different professional need.

It was in 1926 when Andreas Stihl  produced this first chainsaw. It was a two man model, that weighted 48 kilograms.

Later on, in 1929 Stihl presented the first petrol engine powered chainsaw. This tree felling machine had an out power of 6hp and weighted 46kgs. It was a two man operating model too.

In 1995, Stihl introduced the 023 model, the quietest petrol powered chainsaw of the world, which was awarded with the Blue Angel ecology mark.

A useful technology that Stihl professional chainsaws introduced was the Quick Chain Tensioning. The concept is as simple as useful.  After a while working with a chainsaw, the chain becomes longer, looser and needs to be tensioned every now and then. With this function, there is no need of using further tools to do so, it requires a simple adjusting of a knob.

With the 036 model, they introduced another security utility, the Quick Stop Super Chain Brake, that halts the chain if a strong kickback happens, or when it is tripped via front guard or just when the rear handle of the chainsaw is released. It takes just fractions of second for the chain to stop.

Models 029 and 039 presented special filler caps for oil and fuel tanks. The advantage that this brings is that these caps can be manually opened and closed, without the use of any additional tool.

It was after 2003 when a new anti-vibration system appeared with the MS341 and MS361 models. These are in the middle of spectrum of Stihl chainsaws when talking about power. This last one produces 3.4 kw power, has ChainType Rapid super, extra low vibration, ElastoStart technology, decompression valve and some of models of the line (C and BQ ) have Chain Quick Tensioning and Quick Stop Super Chain Break. It is a utility that gives great physical and mental relief to the workers.

For work under extreme condiditons you should opt for an MS650 with 4.8kw power, lateral chain tensioner, and a bar range between 16”, 18”,20” or 25” to choose from.

Depending  on your work, you can choose a from MS240 Stihl professional chainsaw model, with a bar ranging from 13” to 15 and 16”, with a power of 2.1 kw  to a MS880, with lateral chain tensioner, the most powerful professional chainsaw you could ever find, . I produces 6.4kw of power weighing the same as an average year old baby.
