Product Summary

This Stihl MS 271 Farm Boss® Gas-Powered Chainsaw is a high performance, fuel-efficient chainsaw that comes loaded with features and technology. It starts with a highly efficient engine that delivers 20% longer run times between refueling, while cutting exhaust emissions in half (comparisons made to the Stihl MS 270 chainsaw.) There's also a pre-separation air filtration system that's so effective, your air filter can last up to five times longer than previous Stihl models. The technology is all engineered into one compact, ergonomic design.
This item may be purchased at select Northern Tool stores. Not available for online order at NorthernTool.com.
