Product information & specifications
STIHL FS 55 R Petrol Brushcutter
The STIHL FS 55 R is a lightweight and versatile petrol brushcutter designed for precise trimming and mowing grass around obstacles such as trees, borders, posts and garden edges. With its ergonomic loop handle, the FS 55 R is ideal for working in tighter, more awkward spaces where control and manoeuvrability matter most.
Powered by STIHL’s efficient 2-MIX engine, the FS 55 R delivers strong cutting performance with reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. A manual fuel pump keeps starting easy by reducing the number of pulls required — especially after breaks. The multi-function handle keeps all key controls together for safe and convenient operation with either hand.
Supplied with a single shoulder harness and the AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head, the FS 55 R is ready to handle everyday garden maintenance straight out of the box.
