Why Choose This Brushcutter:
The STIHL FS131R Brushcutter offers professional-grade power with enhanced control in tight working environments. Its loop-handle design allows precise handling around obstacles, while the high-torque 4-MIX® engine ensures consistent cutting performance in tough conditions. Built to STIHL’s renowned professional standards, the FS131R is an excellent choice for users who require both power and manoeuvrability without compromise.
The STIHL FS131R is a powerful brushcutter from STIHL's range of brushcutters that are suited to cutting long grass and landscape maintenance work.
Long grass, weeds and undergrowth are no match for the FS131R thanks to the power output of STIHL's efficient 4-Mix 2-stroke engine.
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.
The FS131R can also be fitted with several styles of optional metal blades for tackling longer grass and brush.
The comfortable loop handle configuration makes picking up and putting down the FS131R quick and easy so this brushcutter is suited to cutting around obstacles and for use in areas that are hard to reach. The FS131R can be used with or without a harness. Should you prefer to use a harness, the FS131R is supplied with a shoulder harness as standard to help distribute the weight of the brushcutter.
The STIHL FS131R is, like all STIHL products, built to STIHL's exacting standards to give unrivalled performance, durability and reliability.
