Stihl introduces the MS 201 T C-M chainsaw, the first top-handle saw with Stihl M-Tronic technology. This engine management system results in a reliable and fuel-efficient machine that performs in a variety of conditions, the company said.

“The microprocessor-controlled engine management system automatically adapts to changes in environment such as altitude and temperature,” said Kent Hall, Stihl senior product manager. “Whether at the top of a 60-ft. oak tree or pruning the lower limbs of a pine, this saw will provide the same level of quality performance.”

Features include low vibration for balanced operation, a translucent tank for increased fuel level visibility and a microprocessor-controlled Stihl M-Tronic engine management system that automatically adapts to fuel quality and altitude.
