When it comes to lighter pruning jobs up in the trees, professional arborists can now benefit from the power and speed of the latest new flyweight top-handled STIHL chain saw - the STIHL MS 150 TC-E. Available now to specialist STIHL Dealers, the new model joins its rear-handled brother which has been well received since its arrival last year.
Another exciting introduction from the world-leading STIHL chain saw brand - and arriving just in time for the country's major ARB Show, the new STIHL MS 150 TC-E is a compact top-handled model weighing just 2.6 kg. Well-balanced as well as extremely lightweight, the new model is also a simple pleasure to use, enabling users to work for longer without tiring, and thus increasing its safety and their productivity. Like any great flyweight it packs a serious punch and with its 1.0kW power output it delivers an excellent power-to-weight ratio - just what is needed when working in trees.
Perfect for professional pruning
Light in weight the new model may be but it is certainly no lightweight when it comes to its task. Combining its power with an especially narrow saw chain means the new STIHL
MS 150 TC-E chain saw delivers a powerfully clean and fine cut, and so is particularly suited to the pruning of branches and crown thinning.
Gentle on the environment and on the pocket
Like all of STIHL's latest chain saws, the new MS 150 TC-E is driven by the advanced STIHL 2-MIX engine which is characterised by low exhaust emissions and low fuel consumption. The chain saw is fully compliant with the latest EU Exhaust Emissions Standards, whilst its low fuel consumption and long re-fuelling intervals make it both cost-and time-efficient to run.
Nice and easy to use
Not only is the new lightweight MS 150 TC-E pleasant to handle, it is easy to use right from the start. A manual fuel primer and the STIHL ErgoStart feature ensure the engine starts simply with a slow, gentle pull on the starter-cord. Once in use the machine's excellent balance and low vibrations mean it is really comfortable to work with - making it safer in use. Safety is further promoted by the chain saw's low kickback tendency, which is the result of a particularly narrow tipped guide bar and the special Picco Micro saw chain supplied as standard.
Simple to maintain
As ever STIHL has not stopped at making this chain saw nice and easy to use; the world-leading brand has also ensured that everyday maintenance is nice and simple to do too. Large and easy-to-access fuel and chain oil tank openings allow no-mess filling without any tools. Chain tensioning is also simple with access to the tensioner via a single nut to release the sprocket cover, and cleaning the air filter is straightforward and tool-free, with the air filter easily accessed via a single piece shroud.
The new MS 150 TC-E chain saw is available now with either a 10"/25cm or 12"/30cm guide bar, and is priced from £420.00 ex VAT (10" guide bar). Visit the STIHL website for full details and specifications on the new top-handled chain saw.
