STIHL – Mark Chisholm
Join Mark Chisholm as he showcases the latest STIHL tools designed for professional arborists. The MSA 240 TC-0 top-handled/battery-powered chainsaw delivers serious performance when paired with the ALLPro battery and HEXA chain. The electric motor makes this saw lighter, cleaner, and easier to handle in the tree. The variable-speed trigger gives you full command over your cuts, while the low oil sensor takes the guesswork out of lubrication to protect your bar and chain. The HEXA cutting system provides 50% longer edge retention and up to 20% more cuts per charge. Also featured is the new ProCOM 2 Arborist communication system, created to help crews communicate naturally around equipment, distance, and jobsite noise. With support for up to 16 users, everyone can stay connected without slowing down the work. The ProCOM 2 features 18 hours of run time, an exchangeable battery, an improved battery indicator, and hit and fall detection. When the work is loud, spread out, or constantly moving, that extra support matters.
