Overview

STIHL Farm & Ranch chain saws are popular because of their rugged design, combining the ease of use that our homeowner saws are known for with a more powerful engine and expanded features. 

Check out many of the features that make these chain saws in a class of their own:

• The Master Control Lever™ is a single lever that allows the user to operate the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch all from one convenient location.
• The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor helps keep RPM levels even when the filter begins to clog.
• STIHL manufactures its own saw chain for optimal performance and compatibility with your STIHL chain saw. Swiss-made STIHL OILOMATIC® Saw Chain is pre-stretched before it leaves the factory, which helps eliminate excessive stretching during the break-in period, reducing maintenance time and component wear.
• The Electronic Ignition provides easier starting and smoother running.
• An Anti-vibration System helps reduce operator fatigue and improves comfort.
• Our Ematic™ Bar Lubrication System delivers proper lubrication while reducing oil usage by up to 50%.
• The Automatic Bar and Chain Oiler allows the operator to concentrate on cutting rather than bar and chain lubrication.
• Designed to stop the chain in fractions of a second, the STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake System can be activated manually or by inertia if the kickback force is sufficient.
• The Translucent Fuel Tank allows the operator to easily check the fuel level before starting work while the Balanced Fuel and Oil Tank Capacities allow for efficient refills.
• The Front Handle is designed for a secure grip and is ergonomically angled for comfort.
• Front and Rear Hand Guards help reduce the risk of injury.
• Bumper Spikes help prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.
• An All-position Carburetor allows the engine to run at full power in any approved operational position.
• A Combination Wrench/Screwdriver is supplied, providing easy and convenient adjustments to the saw.
• The Chain Catcher helps reduce the risk of operator contact by a chain if it should break or derail.
• Features like Heavy-duty Centrifugal Clutches, High-pressure Alloy Die Castings and STIHL-designed "longlife" cylinders help provide durable, long-lasting wear.
• Homeowners will also enjoy lightweight High-tech Polymer Housings for greater impact resistance, as well as Easy-to-Access Air Filters and Protected Spark Plugs.
• The Spark Arrester Muffler is designed to reduce noise levels and the emission of sparks.
• The Smooth Clean Design has no rough edges to snag on clothing or brush.
