Tackle demanding forestry and groundskeeping jobs with the STIHL MSA 260 C-O ALLPRO System Battery Chainsaw. Engineered specifically for landscaping professionals, forestry crews, and municipal groundskeepers, this versatile rear-handle chainsaw features an exceptional power-to-weight ratio that makes felling, limbing, and pruning small- to medium-sized timber clean, fast, and comfortable. Its balanced, lightweight build minimizes body strain, allowing operators to remain productive through long commercial workdays without the noise, emissions, or pull starts of gas equipment.
Built for maximum jobsite adaptability, the MSA 260 C-O features an interchangeable drive sprocket system that allows you to easily switch between 3/8" Picco and .325" chain pitches to match your preferred cutting setup. Intelligence is built into the tool: an automatic motor shutdown function powers down the saw during brief pauses in work to conserve battery runtime, while an integrated electronic oil sensor continuously monitors chain lubrication levels to protect cutting components from dry wear. Compatible with STIHL SimplePlus™ chain oil as well as standard high-quality mineral or vegetable-based bar lubricants, the MSA 260 C-O delivers the reliable daily performance modern crews demand.
Note: As part of the STIHL ALLPRO System, the MSA 260 C-O is fully compatible with both STIHL ALLPRO batteries and STIHL AP Series batteries. Refer to the STIHL battery runtime guide to select the optimal power pack for your workday demands.
