The STIHL MS 271 FARM BOSS is a high-performance powerhouse designed to meet the rigorous demands of farm and ranch work. Built with advanced engine technology, this chainsaw delivers 20% longer run times between refuelings and cuts exhaust emissions in half compared to previous models. All of this engineering is packed into one compact, ergonomic design that provides the reliability STIHL is known for.
With a 50.2 cc engine producing 3.5 bhp, the MS 271 FARM BOSS is equipped with an extraordinarily effective pre-separation air filtration system.

Whether you are felling trees, clearing land, or processing large volumes of firewood, this saw is built to be the "boss" of your equipment shed.
Key Features & Benefits
Advanced Engine & Filtration
- Pre-Separation Air Filtration System: Uses centrifugal force to eject heavy dirt particles before they reach the filter, doubling the time between cleanings and extending filter life.
- Fuel-Efficient Engine: Highly efficient design saves on operating costs while providing 20% more run time on a single tank of fuel.
- Master Control Lever: A single, easy-to-use lever that manages the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch.
Superior Operator Comfort
- Anti-Vibration System: Specifically developed to minimize vibration levels, helping to reduce operator fatigue and provide a more comfortable working experience.
- Side-Access Chain Tensioner: Conveniently adjust your saw chain with a bar wrench from the side of the housing, avoiding contact with the sharp chain.
- Bumper Spikes: Help prevent pull-in and provide better leverage for controlled, precise cutting.
Durable & Convenient Design
- Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps: Simply lift the built-in lever and twist to remove or tighten; no tools required. Retainers keep the caps attached to the unit.
- High-Tech Polymer Housing: Impact-resistant and corrosion-proof housings are lightweight and built for long-term durability.
- Throttle Trigger Interlock: A vital safety feature that must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.
