Available for instore collection only.

New generation, light-weight petrol brushcutter with straight shaft, loop handle and ErgoStart. Modern appearance, convenient operation and very simple starting procedure are the highlights of the new generation STIHL grass trimmer range. The number of steps needed to start the machine has been drastically reduced. The frustration of a flooded engine is virtually eliminated. New 2-stroke engine with stratified charge allows fast acceleration, low emissions, reduced fuel consumption.Comes standard with fully adjustable loop handle and AutoCut mowing head.

Brushcutters differ from grass trimmers have they have a straight shaft leading down to a mechaincal gearbox where the head or blade fits on. This makes them longer lasting and much more proficient at clearing areas of overgrown grass etc. For taller users they are longer so it is easier to work with an upright posture.  Loop handle model is FS56R. The benefit of the cowhorn design is that it feels more comfortable and balanced when working tp clear large areas of field type grass. If you predominantly edge or work in tight areas the loop handle design is preferable.
