Description Technical Specs

The MS 311 is a high-tech workhorse designed with STIHL®’s advanced engine technology to deliver low fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emissions. Built for large properties, farms, and ranches, this powerful chainsaw offers a dependable solution for demanding tasks.

Comfort-focused features like the side-access chain tensioner, advanced anti-vibration system, and toolless fuel and oil caps with retainers enhance the user experience. Its large fuel and oil tanks allow for extended use between refills, boosting overall productivity.

With improved fuel efficiency and a high-powered engine, the MS 311 minimizes downtime and maximizes output—so you can get the job done and enjoy your well-earned downtime.

Features:

  • Powerful Low-Exhaust Emission Engine
  • Reduces fuel consumption and operating costs while delivering the reliable power users expect for tough jobs.
  • IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor
  • Automatically adjusts the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted, maintaining proper engine RPM for consistent performance. IntelliCarb™ uses clean air from the filter’s intake side, unlike standard carburetors that rely on air from the dirty side.
  • Bumper Spikes
  • Provide better cutting control and reduce pull-in during operation, making the cutting process more efficient.
  • Decompression Valve
  • Temporarily reduces compression in the combustion chamber during starting, requiring less effort to pull the starter rope. The valve closes automatically once the engine fires.
  • Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers
  • Quick and easy access for refueling and oiling—no tools needed. Integrated retainers help prevent cap loss.
  • Pre-Separation Air Filtration System
  • Increases filter efficiency and service life by ejecting heavier dirt particles before they reach the air filter, doubling the time between cleanings.
  • Side-Access Chain Tensioner
  • Allows for easier chain adjustments using a bar wrench, avoiding the typical guide bar location for tensioning.
  • Anti-Vibration System
  • Minimizes vibration levels to reduce operator fatigue and enhance comfort during extended use.
  • Master Control Lever™
  • A single, easy-to-use lever controls the choke, starting throttle lock, and on/off switch—streamlining operation.
  • Throttle Trigger Interlock
  • A built-in safety feature that must be engaged before the throttle can be activated.
  • High-Tech Polymer Housings
  • Lightweight, impact-resistant, and corrosion-resistant housings ensure long-lasting durability in rugged environments.
