STIHL MS 291 Petrol Chainsaw - Agricultural & Landscaping

STIHL MS 291 Petrol Chainsaw - Agricultural & Landscaping

The STIHL MS 291 is a powerful petrol chainsaw specifically designed for agricultural and landscaping use, offering a robust balance of performance and efficiency. Built with advanced combustion technology and user-friendly features, this model ensures reliable operation even in demanding conditions.

• Displacement: 55.5 cm³
• Power output: 2.8 kW (3.8 bhp)
• Weight: 5.6 kg (without fuel, bar, and chain)
• Sound pressure level: 103 dB(A)
• Vibration values (left/right): 4.5/4.5 m/s²

Compared to earlier models and industry standards, the STIHL MS 291 stands out with its optimised fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, thanks to its four overflow channels that swirl the fuel-air mixture for optimum combustion. This ensures high torque across a broad rpm range while keeping fuel consumption low. Additionally, the anti-vibration system delivers significantly reduced handle vibrations, minimising operator fatigue and potential long-term health effects when compared to standard chainsaws.

Key Technical Advantages:

• Pre-separation air filtration system extends filter life considerably by ejecting larger particles before they reach the filter, enhancing engine durability.
• The carburettor compensator maintains a consistent fuel-air mixture even as the air filter clogs, which keeps engine power steady and reduces the need for frequent filter cleaning.
• Single-lever master control simplifies operation, consolidating start, choke, throttle, and stop functions into one easily accessible control.
• Side-chain tensioner allows safe and straightforward chain adjustments without the risk of contact with the sharp saw chain.
• Ematic chain lubrication system reduces bar oil consumption by up to 50% by delivering precise lubrication to the saw chain and guide bar, extending wear life and reducing running costs.

Technology and Performance
The STIHL MS 291 is engineered to excel in agricultural and landscaping tasks, where reliability and efficiency are paramount. Its advanced combustion system, combined with a long-life pre-separation air filtration and compensator technology, delivers consistent power output under varying conditions.
