FS 55 R petrol-driven brushcutter: efficient mowing in very tight spots
With the STIHL FS 55 R petrol-driven brushcutter, discerning garden owners can efficiently clear areas between bushes and shrubs. As the brushcutter is designed for mowing in very tight spots it has a loop handle that offers you excellent scope of movement. The lawn trimmer has a powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine, which is also economical in use. The STIHL FS 55 R is equipped with STIHL ElastoStart to make starting the brushcutter easier. This cushions load peaks, thereby protecting muscles and joints.
The single-handed multi-function handle means you can reach all engine control elements with one hand, to make operating the power tool – and therefore your work – easier. When using this petrol-driven lawn trimmer for longer periods of work, the harness supplied as standard ensures better weight distribution so your work is completed with greater ease. The STIHL FS 55 R lawn trimmer is also equipped with the highly robust AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head. This can be fitted with various mowing lines and is ideal for lawn edges and clearing work around trees, near shrubs and along walls.
