VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.-STIHL has developed the MS 200 as the rear handle counterpart to the STIHL MS 200 T and the staple ground saw in the mid-range user arborist tool bag. The MS 200 chain saw combines the compact performance of the MS 200 T with the stability and control of a rear handle chain saw. Designed for mid-range user arborists and landscapers, the MS 200 rear handle is ideally suited for a variety of groundwork applications.

Equipped with performance-proven features, the saw offers a lightweight, balanced design and high torque engine. At only 8.4 pounds, the MS 200 rear handle is one of STIHL's lightest gasoline-powered chain saws.

The STIHL MS 200 rear handle features an anti-vibration system, automatic chain oiling and STIHL ElastoStart™ shock-absorbing starter handle. Other performance features include a Quad Power™ engine, Master Control Lever™, a side-access chain tensioner, STIHL's toolless filler caps and STIHL Quickstop® chain brake.
