The STIHL MS 250 is a gas chainsaw for homeowners, built around a 45.4 cc engine and an 18-inch bar with .325-inch chain. It is aimed at firewood cutting, limbing, cleanup and felling small trees, and its side-mounted chain tensioner makes bar and chain adjustments without tools. It sits above the smaller MS 170 and MS 180 in capacity and price, but below the pro-grade MS 261, so it trades some refinement and anti-vibration comfort for a strong power-to-weight ratio. Owners treat it as a dependable firewood saw that starts reliably and holds up over years of homeowner use.

Owners and reviewers describe the MS 250 as a reliable, hard-working homeowner saw that starts easily and cuts firewood well. Most criticism centers on vibration, weight and the upkeep a gas two-stroke demands.
The STIHL MS 250 is a gas-powered chainsaw for homeowners. It is meant for cutting firewood, grounds maintenance, storm cleanup, small limbs and small trees. It has a 45.4 cc engine and an 18" recommended guide bar. The cutting attachment is a .325" RM3 OILOMATIC chain.
The chain tensioner is on the side of the saw for easier chain adjustment. The air filter cover is easy to open for cleaning or replacing the filter. The Master Control Lever handles the choke, starting throttle lock and on/off functions. A Winter/Summer Shutter helps the carburetor stay at the right temperature year-round.
The housings are made of polymer that is lightweight, impact resistant and corrosion resistant. An anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue. Safety features include a throttle trigger lockout and the Quickstop chain brake. The fuel and oil caps are toolless and have retainers.
