Powerful and Versatile Brushcutter for Demanding Jobs

The STIHL FS 131 R is a very powerful petrol brushcutter designed for professional users and property owners tackling tougher jobs across larger areas. It excels at clearing tall, dense grass and scrub, making it an essential tool for landscape maintenance. Its rigid drive shaft ensures efficient power transfer to the cutting head, providing reliable performance in challenging conditions. The machine is supplied with an AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head and a single shoulder harness for immediate use.

Advanced STIHL 4-MIX® Engine Technology

At the heart of the FS 131 R is the innovative STIHL 4-MIX® engine. This four-stroke engine runs on a standard petrol-oil mixture, eliminating the need for separate oil circuit components. The result is a more compact, lightweight, and lower-maintenance engine compared to conventional four-stroke models. It delivers fantastic power and torque with a more comfortable sound pattern and meets European Stage V emissions standards.

Engineered for User Comfort and Ease of Use

STIHL has integrated several features to make operating the FS 131 R as straightforward and comfortable as possible. The simplified starting process is aided by a manual fuel pump, which reduces the number of pulls needed, and an automatic decompression system that lowers the compression pressure during startup. The convenient stop button allows the user to switch off the engine for a short break and springs back into the start position, ensuring the tool is always ready to go. Furthermore, the effective STIHL anti-vibration system uses buffer and spring elements to reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handles, minimising operator fatigue.

Durable Design for Long-Term Performance

The FS 131 R is built for longevity. It features an easily accessible air filter with a long service life, reducing maintenance frequency and saving resources. The loop handle makes the brushcutter easy to guide, especially when working in tight spaces between bushes or other obstacles. For best results, STIHL recommends soaking new mowing line in water for 12-24 hours before use to increase its flexibility and durability.
