Built for Big Cutting Jobs

The STIHL MS 391 is designed for users who need more cutting power than a light-duty homeowner saw but still want a practical all-purpose machine for property, farm, ranch, and construction work.

Typical MS 391 applications include:

  • Felling trees
  • Cutting firewood
  • Bucking logs
  • Storm cleanup
  • Farm and ranch maintenance
  • Timber and construction work
  • Large-property maintenance

The MS 391 produces more power than the MS 311 while maintaining a similar powerhead weight, making it a strong option when additional cutting performance is needed without a major increase in saw weight.

20-Inch STIHL MS 391

The 20-inch MS 391 configuration offers a versatile setup for firewood, property cleanup, felling, and general-purpose cutting.

For customers who regularly move between different types of cutting jobs, the 20-inch configuration provides a practical balance of cutting capacity and maneuverability.

25-Inch STIHL MS 391

The 25-inch STIHL MS 391 option provides additional bar length for larger cutting applications.

If you are specifically looking for a STIHL MS 391 25-inch chainsaw, select the 25-inch configuration from the available variants on this listing.

IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor

The STIHL IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to help maintain the correct air-to-fuel ratio as the air filter becomes restricted during use.

The system uses pressure information from the clean side of the air filter to compensate for reduced airflow, helping the engine maintain proper operating characteristics as the filter accumulates dirt.

Pre-Separation Air Filtration

The MS 391 uses a pre-separation air filtration system that removes heavier debris from incoming air before that air reaches the main filter.

This reduces the amount of dirt reaching the air filter and can extend the interval between filter cleanings compared with a conventional filtration design.

STIHL Anti-Vibration System

STIHL's anti-vibration system helps reduce the amount of engine and cutting-system vibration transferred to the operator.

That becomes especially useful during longer firewood, property-maintenance, and storm-cleanup jobs.

Side-Access Chain Tensioner

The side-access chain tensioner places the adjustment point in a convenient location on the side of the saw, making chain-tension adjustments easier with the appropriate bar wrench.

Toolless Fuel & Oil Caps

The MS 391 uses toolless fuel and chain-oil caps with retainers. Lift the lever and turn the cap to open or close it without requiring a separate tool.

Master Control Lever™

The Master Control Lever™ combines several operating functions into a single control, including choke, starting throttle, and engine on/off functions.

Bumper Spikes

Integrated bumper spikes help provide leverage and control while cutting, particularly when making larger cuts where maintaining consistent positioning against the wood is important.
