The MS 271 Farm Boss replaces the mighty MS 270 with a saw that’s loaded with features and technology. It starts with a highly efficient engine that delivers 20% longer run times between refuelings – while cutting exhaust emissions in half compared to the MS 270. There’s also a pre-separation air filtration system that’s so effective, your air filter can last up to five times longer (now that’s high performance). All engineered into one compact, ergonomic design. An amazing chainsaw at this price level.
- This time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings
- STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment
- The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw
- Defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards

Some reviews online have said:
I’ve had this for a year and I bought it to cut down and cut up a maple tree with a base or stump now of 5 foot across. And it cut the tree down as easily as it cut the limbs off the trunk and made fire wood out of the lot of it.
I bought this my 271 farm boss 4 months ago. It was an upgrade from a STIHL ms170. Both saws are great but I bought the ms271 because the 170 wasn’t enough saw for my needs. But I still use it for limbing tree and cutting smaller logs. When I need a heavier saw the farm boss does the job great and I love the anti vibration feature, it really reduces hand fatigue. If you need a chain buy a STIHL.
