Stihl names

[jackmayo]

Don't know, they roughly relate to the power.

 

MS 150 TC-E is 1.3hp

 

And the

 

MS 880 is 8.7hp

 

Not exact but close enough, P.S MS stands for Motorsägen!!!

I've just read that somewhere else so you could well be right bud 😀

[Garyjp]

Surely the germans would be using Kw not hp?

Looks like an impending email to Stihl lol

How do the numbers correspond with the saw?

 

One more thing about the Stihl chainsaw (MS) model numbers. The second numeric digit (the "tens" digit) is an even number on pro (forestry) saws with magnesium crank case, whereas it is odd on non-pro (home owner/farmer) saws with a clam-shell style, plastic housed crank case.

 

Examples:

 

• MS 201, 241, 261 are all pro saws
  
• MS 211, 231, 251, 271, 291 are all non-pro saws
  

 

You can see comparative power/weight information on pro Stihl, Husqvarna, and other brand chansaws here: http://bit.ly/chainsaw-data

I humbly stand corrected. Thank you Woodkraut for your knowledge in this matter.

No rule without an exception. The MS 650 is the only one, though and it is not marketed in most countries (UK - only?)

MS180 MS181 both have clamshell engines as does the MS280 mounted in plastic cases.

Size of the engine in cubic inches approximately

 

 

eg 440/044 - 4.4 cubic inches = 72.1 cc
