STIHL MS 291 Petrol Chainsaw – Versatile, Durable & Built for Agricultural Work

The STIHL MS 291 petrol chainsaw is a powerful and reliable all-rounder designed for farmers, landscapers, and serious gardeners. Delivering an impressive 2.8 kW of power, this agricultural-grade chainsaw is built to handle demanding cutting tasks while keeping running costs low. With STIHL’s fuel-efficient 2-MIX engine, the MS 291 reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% and cuts emissions by as much as 50%, ensuring outstanding performance with reduced environmental impact.

Equipped with STIHL’s long-life air filter system, professional anti-vibration technology, and side-mounted chain tensioning, the MS 291 is engineered for durability, comfort, and long working hours. Whether you’re cutting firewood, maintaining farmland, or managing woodland, this chainsaw sets a new benchmark for performance and reliability in its class.


Key Features of the STIHL MS 291 Petrol Chainsaw

✔ High-Efficiency 2-MIX Engine

The innovative STIHL 2-MIX engine delivers strong torque, cleaner combustion, and reduced fuel use. Four overflow channels pre-swirl the fuel-air mix for optimal combustion, resulting in exceptional power across a broad RPM range.

✔ Professional Anti-Vibration System

The advanced buffer and spring elements significantly reduce vibration transfer to the handles, leading to more comfort, less fatigue, and smoother operation during long periods of work.

✔ Long-Life Air Filter System (HD2 Filter + Pre-Separation)

STIHL’s premium air filter setup removes coarse particles before they reach the filter, dramatically extending service life. The HD2 filter blocks extremely fine dust, ensuring maximum engine protection, longer maintenance intervals, and lower running costs.

✔ Reduced Maintenance With STIHL Compensator

The compensator ensures consistent engine performance even as the air filter becomes dirty, maintaining fuel efficiency and reducing the need for frequent cleaning. You only service the filter when there is a noticeable drop in performance.

✔ Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning

Re-tension your chain quickly, safely, and easily from the side of the chainsaw—keeping your hands away from the sharp chain and bar.

✔ Tool-Free Fuel Caps

Refuelling is fast and hassle-free thanks to STIHL’s bayonet-style caps, allowing you to open and close the oil and fuel tanks without tools.
