MS 500i
MS 500i gas-driven chainsaw: high-performance forestry saw with STIHL Injection for working with thick wood
General
The MS 500i is the first chain saw in the world to feature electronically controlled fuel injection, making it a true innovation. When it comes to professionally harvesting large trees, this high torque machine cuts through wood with ease. Rapid acceleration and dynamic pivot behaviour mean that the MS 500i is perfect not only for felling and cutting into lengths, but also limbing. With sensor controlled fuel metering, it is an excellent starter with outstanding engine performance, regardless of the altitude and ambient temperature. There’s also no starting lever, which makes starting very easy under all conditions. Its engine technology, which is revolutionary for chain saws, and resulting intelligent lightweight construction results in the best power to- weight ratio on the market.
