STIHL MS 151 T-CE Gas Arborist Chainsaw (23.6cc) - 12"

The STIHL MS 151 T-CE is a compact, top-handle gas chainsaw built specifically for climbing arborists who need a light saw for fine pruning cuts, deadwooding, and removing suckers and water sprouts high in the canopy. At just 5.7 lbs dry weight, it's one of the lightest gas saws STIHL makes.

Featherweight for one-handed climbing cuts

A 23.6cc 2-MIX engine drives a fine-kerf 1/4" PM3 chain while keeping overall weight low, so climbers can make controlled one-handed cuts aloft without excess arm fatigue.

Easier starting in the tree

STIHL Easy2Start reduces the effort needed to pull-start the engine, which matters when an arborist is starting the saw one-handed while secured in a harness.

Consistent power across conditions

An IntelliCarb compensating carburetor automatically adjusts for a clogging air filter, helping the engine maintain consistent output between services.
