For added comfort, this brushcutter also includes a padded single shoulder harness that helps distribute weight evenly, reducing strain on the operator.

Easy Start and Fuel Efficiency

Starting the STIHL FS 131R Trimmer is quick and straightforward, thanks to its automatic decompression system. This feature reduces the effort required to pull the starter cord, ensuring the engine fires up with ease.

Additionally, the manual fuel pump simplifies the starting process further by reducing the number of pulls needed. This feature is especially useful after the tool has been idle for a long period of time, making it easier to resume work without frustration.

STIHL’s Anti-Vibration System

The STIHL FS 131 R Brushcutter is equipped with an advanced anti-vibration system, which significantly reduces the vibrations from the engine before they reach the handle. This innovative system includes both buffer and spring elements that absorb the vibrations, making the trimmer more comfortable to use.

As a result, even during demanding tasks, you’ll be able to work for longer periods without discomfort.

Long-Lasting Air Filter

The air filter in the FS 131 R STIHL Trimmer is designed for longevity, so you can reduce maintenance costs. When the time does come to replace the filter, it is easy to access, ensuring minimal downtime.

Large Fuel Tank for Extended Operation

Equipped with a 710 cm³ fuel tank, the STIHL 131 R Brush Cutter allows for extended periods of use without the need for frequent refuelling. This feature is especially beneficial when working on large areas, as it helps you maintain productivity without annoying interruptions.

Stop Button for Convenient Engine Shutdown

The STIHL FS 131 R Brushcutter includes a convenient stop button that allows for quick and easy engine shutdown. When you’re ready to resume work, the button automatically resets as soon as the fuel pump is actuated, enabling a swift and smooth restart. This simple yet effective feature enhances overall user experience and efficiency.
