MS 881 MAGNUM®

Most powerful series-produced chainsaw in the world!

You aren't afraid to take on the largest, toughest, and most demanding jobs, and you need a powerful professional chainsaw you can rely on. For the toughest jobs, you can find the performance you need in the MS 881 MAGNUM® chainsaw. With reduced exhaust emission engine technology, an IntelliCarb™ compensating carburetor, and up to a 41-inch guide bar length, the MS 881 MAGNUM® is the largest, most powerful chainsaw in the STIHL lineup. Great fuel efficiency means you save both time and money. Another time-saving features is the stop switch, which automatically returns to the run position after the engine is stopped, reducing the chance of flooding the engine when starting. There is no substitute for the most powerful production chainsaw currently on the market—the STIHL MS 881 MAGNUM®.

Warranty And Shipping Policy

Standard equipment

HD2 filter

This air filter keeps even the finest dust away from the engine, ensuring a particularly long service life. Thanks to its special material, the filter can easily be cleaned by washing, for example with STIHL Varioclean and warm water.
Decompression valve

The decompression valve is part of the easy starting system. The valve should be pressed before starting to reduce the compression pressure when starting, as well as reducing the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The decompression valve is semi-automatic; it must be pressed manually before starting, but then closes automatically.
STIHL ElastoStart

Due to compression pressure, jerky stresses occur when starting internal combustion engines. The damping element in the ElastoStart special starter grip alternately absorbs and releases force according to the compression pattern. The result is smooth, even starting.
Side-mounted chain tensioning

Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it easy to tension the chain safely.
Controlled-delivery oil pump

Different bar lengths, wood types and sawing techniques require different amounts of oil. The controlled-delivery oil pump allows the user to select just the right amount of oil for the job at hand.
Tool free fuel caps

Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools.
STIHL anti-vibration system

Precisely calculated buffer zones minimise the transfer of engine and saw chain vibrations to the front and rear handles. The chainsaw therefore runs noticeably smoother. This allows the user to save their strength and work longer.
Single-lever master control

All important functions such as start, choke, throttle and stop are operated via a single lever.
Compensator

This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter. This keeps the fuel/air ratio in the combustion mixture constant and hence also the engine power. The filter doesn't need to be cleaned until an appreciable drop in power occurs.
STIHL Ematic System

Compared to conventional bars without Ematic, the STIHL Ematic system reduces the consumption of chain lubricant by up to 50 %, depending on the type of wood and the cutting attachment used. This system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a variable-flow or reduced-flow oil pump. As a result, virtually every drop of chain lubricant is delivered to exactly the right spot.
Carburettor heating (V)

By changing the chain saw from summer to winter operation, the intake air is pre-heated over the engine fins. This ensures that the carburetor does not ice up and you can continue working in freezing temperatures.
