e started out making chainsaws, so let’s begin

there! The brand-new MS 500i chainsaw is the

first in the world to use Stihl Injection Technology

instead of a carburettor. With more horse power

than dry weight (6,8 horse power versus 6,2 kg),

this impressive model has been designed for the

harvesting and processing of heavy timber. It has the best power-to-

weight ratio on the market, yet is still fuel efficient, thanks to the fuel

injection system.

A tried and tested champion is the MS 382 chainsaw, the en-

hanced version of the MS 381, previously South Africa’s best-selling

chainsaw. Stihl constantly upgrades its machines and the powerful

yet lightweight (6,2 kg) MS 382 works faster and harder. This 3,8-kW

machine is ergonomic with an excellent power-to-weight ratio and

combines professional-grade performance with outstanding fuel

consumption – up to 20% less than previous models, thanks to the

improved low emission 2-MIX motor.

Another popular model is the MS 310, the multilaterally classic

and robust 3,2 kW petrol chainsaw with anti-vibration system, which

is ideal for a wide variety of sawing jobs on farms, in orchards and in

domestic gardens.

Our MS 250 chainsaw has an exceptional power-to-weight

ratio and is light enough for smaller tasks like clearing or cleaning up

while packing a powerful enough punch to cut through small limbs

and trees.

An essential fire management tool

The BR 700 magnum blower is an enhanced, more powerful version

of the popular BR 600 backpack blower. It can remove potential-

ly dangerous natural matter from around rocks and roots, ensures

that firebreaks are clear, and creates new fire lines by blowing away

flammable debris. It also clears dry earth mineral firebreaks. While

the BR 700 isn’t a single fire-fighting tool, it can replace beaters on

a fire line and is useful in managing cold fires and when control is

needed while clearing a line for back burning.

Get digging!

Our BT 131 petrol auger is a robust yet lightweight one-man machine

and is essential for fencing and pit digging. The powerful 36,3 cc

4-MIX engine combines the advantages of a 4-stroke engine with a

2-stroke fuel mix for lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions, quieter

operation, impressive engine power and higher torque. The large

fuel tank allows for longer run times with less downtime for refuel-

ling, while the long-life air filter system and 2-stroke petrol mix reduce

servicing intervals. The Quickstop

drill brake, triggered by the oper-

ator’s thigh, stops the machine should the drill bit jam in the ground,

and the advanced vibration dampening system and oversized hip

pad increase operator comfort and reduce fatigue.

New to the local market is the BT 230 one-man auger, a light-

weight yet powerful machine specially designed for the emerging

market – it is robust and uncomplicated to operate and maintain.

With impressive drilling power in the 40-cc displacement class, the

BT 230 has a sturdy support frame that can be fitted to numerous

Stihl augers for flexibility. The 10,9 kg frame is compact and light-

weight for added mobility and ease-of-handling in the field. This

auger produces holes up to 30 cm in diameter.

Don’t beat about the bush

Stihl has a range of robust brushcutters for heavy duty workloads,

ideal for removing bramble, dense thickets, weeds and tough grass,

as well as simple mowing. These machines are

highly popular with municipalities because of

their effective performance, tough take-any-

thing design and easy maintenance.

Try the power of going cordless

More and more professionals are moving to bat-

tery-powered models as word gets out that these

machines are lightweight and robust, with the

performance of petrol models plus the added

benefits of being low noise, zero emission and

totally mobile. Since there is no fuel, there is no

downtime for mixing and the brushless motors

require minimal servicing. All the models use ad-

vanced lithium-ion batteries that can be charged

and partially re-charged several hundred times

without any significant loss of capacity.
