FS 55 Petrol Brushcutter

The FS 55 replaces earlier entry-level models with STIHL’s 2-stroke 2-MIX stratified-charge technology, cutting fuel use by roughly 20% and exhaust emissions by 50% vs. classic two-strokes while still delivering 0.75 kW (1.0 hp) of mowing power. Its reinforced gearbox and metal deflector guard improve durability when tackling bracken, nettles and light saplings.
