The STIHL FS70C-E Brushcutter offers dependable cutting power with comfortable handling and easy starting. Its robust construction, ergonomic bike handle and reliable engine performance make it a solid choice for users who need an efficient tool for tackling tougher grass and vegetation. Backed by STIHL’s trusted engineering, it delivers consistent results in demanding cutting applications.
Long grass, weeds and undergrowth are no match for the Stihl FS70C-E brushcutter. The FS70C-E is at the top of Stihl’s line up of smaller brushcutters that are suited to maintenance of the larger garden.
A key feature of the FS70C-E is Stihl’s ErgoStart system. This is a spring assisted starting system which helps to make starting the engine feel almost effortless.
Stihl’s fuel efficient 2-Mix 2-stroke engine is fitted to the FS70C-E and provides plenty of power to the nylon line cutting head. The cutter head is a bump feed head which means that when the mowing line is worn, you can simply tap the head on the ground gently and more line will be released automatically. When it is time to refill the cutting head, reloading cord is very easy.
For tougher mowing conditions, a grass cutting blade is also supplied.
The bike handle configuration makes the FS70C-E suited to prolonged work in larger areas. A full harness is supplied with the FS70C-E and, during operation, most of the weight of the brushcutter is distributed away from the arms to the torso by the harness. The bike handles are comfortable to hold and are simply used for ‘steering’ the brushcutter.
Stihl manufacture a large range of brushcutters, many of which are used by professional operators. Although from the homeowner range, the FS70C-E is still built to Stihl’s exacting standards to ensure durability and reliability.
Purchase a 5 litre bottle of Stihl MotoMix at the same time as buying this machine, and you'll get an extra year on your domestic use warranty - extending your warranty from two years to three. This is subject to Stihl's warranty terms, and machines used in a commercial application don't benefit from the warranty extension.
Simply add 5 litres of MotoMix to your cart alongside your machine before placing your order and we'll register your extended warranty with Stihl.
The full harness takes the weight of the brushcutter and is ergonomic and comfortable to wear.
