The STIHL MS 251 C-BE offers all the comfort and capability of the MS 251 WOOD BOSS®, with added features that make starting and adjusting the saw even easier. Designed for ambitious homeowners, it’s a versatile choice for everything from felling small trees and pruning to thinning and cutting firewood, especially when there’s a bigger job waiting.
With up to 20% greater fuel savings and a 50% reduction in exhaust emissions compared to previous models, the MS 251 C-BE helps you get more from every tank while reducing emissions. And when the chain needs to be tightened, the Quick Chain Adjuster makes it easy to get the proper tension without tools, so you can make a quick adjustment and keep going.
Easy2Start™ technology takes some of the effort out of starting, while the Master Control Lever™ keeps essential functions within easy reach. The anti-vibration system helps make extended sawing more comfortable, and a tool-free fuel cap keeps refueling simple. It’s the added convenience that sets the MS 251 C-BE apart, without giving up the dependable performance that makes the MS 251 WOOD BOSS® a favorite.
