  • Our take on the STIHL MS 250 18 in. Gas Chainsaw

    The STIHL MS 250 is a gas-powered chainsaw with an 18-inch bar, built for firewood cutting, limb trimming and light clearing. It is known for a strong power-to-weight ratio for its class and for simple starting via a single Master Control Lever that handles choke, throttle lock and on/off. Owners and reviewers treat it as a dependable homeowner and farm saw that starts easily and holds up over years, though it is heavier and louder than battery saws and needs the usual gas-engine upkeep. It sits above the smaller MS 170 and MS 180 in power and below the pro-grade MS 261 in build and cost.

    About the STIHL MS 250 18 in. Gas Chainsaw

    The STIHL MS 250 is a gas chainsaw with an 18 in. bar. It is built for cutting firewood, clearing and cleanup tasks, and cutting small limbs and trees. It has an exceptional power-to-weight ratio.

    A single Master Control Lever operates the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the lever to the choke position. The filter cover removes easily for cleaning or replacing the filter.

    The rear hand guard reduces the risk of injury and gives a wide area for foot placement during starting. A side-access chain tensioner lets the user adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench, instead of using a guide bar adjustment screw in the typical location. A Winter or Summer Shutter lets the carburetor operate at its optimum temperature year round. It also helps prevent carburetor icing when working below 50°F (10°C).

    Questions and answers

    Is the MS 250 good for cutting firewood?
    Yes. Its power-to-weight ratio suits bucking logs and limbing, and it is a common choice for homeowners building a woodpile.
    How does it compare with the MS 170 or MS 180?
    The MS 250 has more displacement and power than the MS 170 and MS 180, so it cuts faster in larger wood. The smaller saws are lighter and easier for light trimming.
    Does it come with a chain and bar?
    It is sold as a complete saw with an 18-inch bar and chain. Check the box contents for the included scabbard and tools.
    What fuel mix does it need?
    It runs on a gasoline and two-stroke oil mix. Follow STIHL's specified ratio and use fresh fuel for reliable starting.
    Is it too heavy for occasional use?
    It is heavier than battery or small gas saws, but most homeowners handle it fine for firewood and cleanup sessions.
    Can I use it for felling trees?
    It can fell small to medium trees, but it is a homeowner-class saw. Large or frequent felling calls for a pro-grade model.
