VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. The new STIHL MS 230 and MS 230 C-BE Easy2Start™ roar out of the gates with impressive 40.2 cc, 2.5 bhp engines. Following close behind their big brother, the powerful MS 250, the MS 230 and MS 230 C-BE take the lead when customers want a chain saw packaged and priced for the mid-sized budget.
Half the effort, twice as easy, the MS 230 C-BE features Easy2Start™ (E), which makes starting this chain saw almost effortless. Theres no need for a strong fast pull of the starting cord, so users can get working faster and easier than ever. The MS 230 C-BE also features the exclusive Quick Chain Adjuster (B), which lets the operator adjust the chain tension without tools.
Toolless fuel and oil filler caps on both models make it fast and easy to keep these units fueled and ready for a quick start.
With the new MS 230 series, small trees, firewood and brush dont stand a chance. Filling the price gap between the STIHL MS 210 and the MS 250, the MS 230 series offers homeowners some professional features with a consumer price tag.
