About this product

The STIHL MS 271 is a mid-size gas chainsaw built for farm, ranch, and property-maintenance work, from cutting firewood to clearing storm damage and light land management.

Reliable power for everyday cutting

A 50.2cc STIHL 2-MIX engine delivers 2.6 kW (3.5 hp) with STIHL's four-channel carburetor technology, which targets fuel delivery precisely to boost combustion efficiency and reduce fuel consumption during long cutting sessions.

Ready for cold-weather work

A heated carburetor keeps the engine running cleanly in freezing temperatures, so the saw stays reliable through winter firewood cutting and storm cleanup.

Smoother, more comfortable cuts

An anti-vibration system reduces the vibration that reaches the handles, while the pre-separation air filter (HD2-compatible) keeps sawdust out of the engine longer between cleanings.

Frequently asked questions

What fuel mix does the MS 271 need?

Use a 50:1 mix of unleaded gasoline (minimum 89 octane, no more than 10% ethanol) and STIHL two-stroke engine oil; running straight gasoline will damage the engine.

What size bar and chain come standard?

This model ships with a 16" guide bar and a .325" pitch, .063" gauge STIHL RS3 Pro chain.

Is the MS 271 suitable for firewood cutting?

Yes — its power-to-weight balance and 16" bar make it well suited to cutting and bucking firewood, along with general farm and property maintenance.

What is in the box

The MS 271 ships with the powerhead, a 16" guide bar, a .325" pitch saw chain, a bar scabbard, the onboard tool kit, and the owner's manual. Fuel and bar oil are sold separately.
