With a large cutting diameter, optimised gear ratio and improved mowing performance, it's ideal for full-time contractors, forestry teams, estates and local authorities needing serious clearing power.

A brand new ergonomic bike handle with ADVANCE Grip elements delivers greater control and comfort over long working periods. The STIHL 2-MIX engine with M-Tronic fully electronic engine management delivers maximum performance in all conditions.

Why Choose the STIHL FS 461 C-EM?

The FS 461 C-EM is the step up from the FS 361 for teams needing even more sustained clearing power — the reduced partial-load vibration and enhanced gearbox are engineered specifically for continuous, all-day contractor use rather than intermittent cutting. M-Tronic's automatic adjustment for temperature, altitude and fuel quality means consistent performance whether you're on a roadside verge or deep in overgrown scrub.
