About the STIHL MS 201 TC-M Petrol Chainsaw
STIHL MS 201 TC-M Petrol Chainsaw – Precision Cutting at Height
When professional tree care demands accuracy and control, a reliable saw makes all the difference. STIHL’s most powerful top handle chainsaw, the MS 201 TC-M offers trained arborists and tree surgeons an unbeatably efficient tool for precise aerial cutting. Balancing high performance with advanced technology, this STIHL professional chainsaw is built to help you work confidently, even in challenging environments.
Powerful Engine with Intelligent Control
At the heart of this STIHL petrol chainsaw lies a 35.2 cc 2-MIX engine, producing 2.4 horsepower (1.8 kW). The design ensures impressive torque and cutting strength while keeping fuel consumption and emissions to a minimum. With a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of 2.1 kg/kW, it’s clear why the MS 201 TCM is regarded as one of the best STIHL chainsaws for professional aerial use.
The STIHL M-Tronic system is fitted as standard, automatically adjusting ignition timing and fuel delivery to suit operating conditions such as temperature, altitude, or fuel quality. This means the saw delivers reliable starting and consistent output, helping you maintain productivity throughout the working day. Efficiency is further enhanced by a four-channel combustion system, designed to burn fuel more thoroughly while maximising output and minimising exhaust gases.
Bar and Chain Choices for Every Task
Flexibility is important when tackling pruning and sectioning work at height. This STIHL handheld chainsaw can be paired with either a 12-inch (30 cm) or 14-inch (35 cm) guide bar, combined with a 3/8″ P chain. This arrangement keeps weight low, ensures smooth cutting performance, and supports precise handling when working in confined spaces. For arborists in need of a dependable STIHL pruning chainsaw, the MS 201 TC-M strikes the perfect balance between agility and cutting efficiency.
Ergonomic Design for Operator Comfort
Working aloft requires a chainsaw that feels comfortable and stable in the hand. STIHL’s proven anti-vibration system reduces the impact of vibrations transmitted through the handle, protecting you from fatigue during extended use. The lightweight guide bar and compact design also contribute to the chainsaw’s excellent manoeuvrability, allowing you to focus on careful, accurate cuts. If you need a powerful STIHL pro chainsaw designed specifically for tree care, the MS201TCM provides an effective but comfortable solution.
Efficient Oil Delivery System
Chain lubrication is another area where STIHL has optimised efficiency. The MS 201 TC-M is fitted with a variable-displacement oil pump that can reduce oil consumption by as much as 50%. Operators can choose the economical ‘E’ setting or increase flow when cutting particularly dry wood or using longer bars. And with the STIHL Ematic system, oil is directed accurately to the chain links and guide bar, extending the life of key components while reducing unnecessary waste. This level of efficiency keeps running costs low and reflects STIHL’s commitment to environmentally conscious design.
Features for Professional Tree Care
Designed with arborists in mind, this STIHL top handle chainsaw includes practical details that make tree care simpler. A fold-out hook allows secure attachment to a climbing rope, making the saw easy to hoist or lower. A robust scabbard protects the chain in transport and can be clipped to a harness via integrated eyelets, ensuring safe and convenient storage during climbing tasks.
The side-mounted chain tensioning allows for quick, straightforward adjustments without unnecessary fuss, while captive nuts prevent accidental loss of parts when changing the bar or chain. A built-in compensator also maintains engine output even when the air filter begins to clog, reducing downtime and ensuring reliable performance in dusty conditions.

The STIHL MS 201 TC-M Petrol Chainsaw is intended only for trained operators, so we require proof of competence before dispatch.
