With the change in weather and the end of financial year fast approaching, it’s time for eligible businesses and professionals to supercharge their kit and take advantage of a potential small-business tax break.
The STIHL range boasts a number of professional-grade battery-powered outdoor power tools to help commercial users complete their work safely and efficiently, no matter what the task. And for a limited time, commercial users can get two free professional-grade batteries with selected STIHL battery tool bundles.
Here are STIHL‘s top battery-powered tools for professionals and landowners this Autumn.
MSA 220 C-B battery-powered chainsaw
The MSA 220 C-B impresses with both power and endurance. With its high chain speed of 24m/s, the MSA 220 C-B is perfect for felling smaller trees and for chopping up smaller pieces of wood.
The MSA 220 C-B comes standard with the STIHL exclusive 3/8″ Picco Super 3 (PS3) full chisel saw chain with a guide bar length of 40cm/16″. The chain has a strong cut and a low kick-back, and its wider kerf also makes light work with the felling wedge.
The MSA 220 C-B also shines in terms of working comfort. The raised and printed felling line enables precise targeting and exact work when felling small-dimensioned wood. Thanks to the compact design and the rubberized soft handle, the tool lies comfortably and securely in the user’s hand.
Further practical details are the quick chain tensioner, which enable the chain to be retightened without tools, and the semi-transparent oil tank, which allows the user to always keep an eye on the fill level.
MSA 300 C-O battery-powered chainsaw
Designed with professional users and arborists in mind, the new MSA 300 C-O sets a new benchmark in performance as the most powerful battery chainsaw in STIHL‘s growing battery range, making light work of felling and cross-cutting large trees.
The power behind the MSA 300 C-O is the AP 500 S, which was designed specifically to power the MSA 300 C-O. It’s the first battery in the AP System to use laminated battery cells capable of delivering an impressive high-power output of 3kW – comparable in performance to STIHL’s popular MS 261 C-M, one of STIHL’s all-rounder petrol chainsaws.
The MSA 300 C-O is the first battery-powered chainsaw to feature a full anti-vibration system, making it extremely comfortable to use. It has the lowest vibration figures across all STIHL’s battery and petrol-powered rear-handle chainsaws.
