Description:

Landscaping professionals looking for a simplified and convenient trimming solution will love the STIHL® FS 131 trimmer. With its low exhaust emission, 36.3 cc engine and a larger fuel tank than the previous model, the FS 131 delivers 30% longer run times. Its bike-handle design includes rubberized grips for enhanced grasp and comfort. Improved air filtration and the STIHL® exclusive IntelliCarb™ technology make this trimmer a great choice for pros, but the cherry on top is the solid steel drive shaft that accepts a wide range of heavy-duty cutting heads, including metal blades.
