Stihl MS 400.1 PETROL CHAINSAW is a pro-grade 60cc saw built for felling and processing hardwood. At 5.5kg with 3.9 kW on tap, it delivers one of the best power-to-weight balances in its class, with a compact body that’s easy to place in the cut.

M‑Tronic gives clean starts and fast pick‑up, while the anti‑vibration system and HD2 filter keep you cutting longer with less downtime. Available from Suffolk Mowers with setup advice and ongoing parts and servicing support.

Built for Demanding Forestry Work

The Stihl MS 400.1 petrol chainsaw is a lightweight, high-output saw made for serious forestry professionals. Its 62.6cc 2-Mix engine delivers 3.9 kW, offering outstanding torque for heavy timber without adding unnecessary weight. The compact body design makes manoeuvring between cuts straightforward, even in dense stands.

Designed for Professionals

Optimised for felling, snedding, and cross-cutting in large timber
Low-fatigue handling thanks to an advanced anti-vibration system
Improved rear-handle geometry for secure leg placement during plunge cuts
Ribbed underside helps glide along trunks without snagging

Performance and Reliability

STIHL M-Tronic engine management ensures consistent output regardless of temperature or fuel quality, while the magnesium flywheel and improved muffler keep the saw cool under sustained loads. The HD2 air filter resists dust, water, and oil, extending service intervals in harsh environments.
