Just above the MS 230 with a very good weight/power ratio
The MS 250 is a high-power, mid-sized chainsaw for tackling the largest cutting jobs. The combination of features, such as the STIHL Quickstop® inertia chain brake, Master Control Lever™, anti-vibration system, carburetor preheat shutter for summer and winter operation, tool-less fuel caps with retaining wires and an excellent power-to-weight ratio make this saw a marvel for homeowners and small property owners.
