Designed for agricultural and horticultural use, the FS 240 C-E pairs STIHL’s high-efficiency 2-MIX engine with a manual fuel pump and STIHL ErgoStart for effortless cold starts, while its reinforced gearbox and winter/summer slide control ensure reliable performance in all conditions.

Maintenance is simplified by the long-life air filter and compensator carburettor, and the one-point anti-vibration system keeps hand–arm vibration low for fatigue-free operation.
