Main sponsor of the ARB Show 2015, (Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, 5-6 June) STIHL will give visitors the chance to get hands-on with new and familiar top-handled chainsaws, also its latest and most advanced arborists' kit, with an extensive display and the expert Treevolution demo team once again at the show.

STIHL GB has introduced the new all-round MS 193 TC-E model to its top-handled chainsaw range this year - joining the lightweight MS 150 TC-E pruning saw, an upgraded version of the heavy-duty MS 201 T and the cordless and quiet MSA 160 T.

The new 30cc MS 193 TC-E weighs an easy, well-balanced 3.3 kg; its impressive cutting power and hard-working torque make it an ideal all-rounder for arborists' fleets. Another change to STIHL's top-handled choice - its new top-range MS 201 TC-M chainsaw now features STIHL M-Tronic technology, and the highly advanced self-tuning engine adds even more to its efficiency and responsive performance in use.

Visitors to the STIHL stand and demo area at the ARB Show can get hands on with the full quartet of STIHL top-handled chainsaws, to experience how each has a role within their fleet of working tools.

STIHL has also introduced new PPE his year, and ARB Show visitors can be among the first to get sight of additions to the range. The ADVANCE X-FLEX trousers are now available in a lightweight and highly breathable arborists' Design C; their smart and distinctive new peat and orange colour scheme gives a modern twist to the 'advanced' design. Also in the ADVANCE range, the choice of working jackets has now gone up to three, with the new and particularly lightweight X-VENT design specifically suited to warm summer work.

Main sponsor of the ARB Show for the 11th year, STIHL looks forward to meeting familiar and new faces to their stand, wishing all visitors a valuable, informative and enjoyable day. STIHL products will be available from a number of its Approved Dealers exhibiting at the event and visitors will have the opportunity to win a new MS 201 TC-M top-handled chainsaw* in a prize draw for all who register at the Show.

* Relevant Certificate of Competence to operate a top-handled chainsaw is required. If the winner is not suitably qualified STIHL shall provide an alternate rear-handled chainsaw of equivalent value.
