Stihl MS 881 Petrol Chainsaw

STIHL MS 881 Petrol Chainsaw

The Stihl MS 881 Petrol Chainsaw is the world’s most powerful production chainsaw, designed for the most demanding professional forestry applications. As a direct replacement for the MS 880, it delivers exceptional performance with a displacement of 121.6 cm³ and an engine output of 6.4 kW. Built for high performance work, it is the optimum choice for professional foresters and loggers working in extreme conditions, particularly when harvesting large timber.

Maximum Power for Demanding Applications

The MS 881 is built to handle the toughest cutting tasks, offering the highest displacement and engine power within the Stihl range. Its 6.4 kW output supports consistent performance when working with large diameter timber, while the ability to fit different bar lengths from 75 cm to 105 cm allows flexibility depending on the application. The chainsaw can also be fitted to a saw frame for specialised cutting tasks.

Engine Efficiency and Reliable Operation

Fitted with a Stihl 2-MIX engine, the MS 881 is designed to comply with EU5 emission regulation while maintaining strong cutting performance. The decompression valve supports easier starting by reducing the force required on the starter cord. A carburettor preheating system allows reliable operation in cold conditions by preventing icing, ensuring consistent performance across a range of environments.

Durable Design and Reduced Maintenance

The HD2 filter protects the engine from fine dust, helping to extend service life and reduce wear. The compensator system maintains engine performance and fuel consumption over time, even as the air filter becomes contaminated. Features such as side-mounted chain tensioning, captive nuts on the sprocket cover and tool-free fuel caps support straightforward maintenance and efficient handling during demanding use.
