Product information & specifications
STIHL FSA 86 R Cordless Brushcutter
The STIHL FSA 86 R is a powerful cordless brushcutter from the STIHL AP System, engineered for large gardens, demanding trimming work and semi-professional mowing tasks. Designed with low noise output for use in noise-sensitive areas, the FSA 86 R is ideal for homeowners, grounds maintenance teams and landscapers needing a high-performance grass trimmer with reliable battery power. It’s also IPX4 weather-rated, meaning it can be used confidently in the rain.
Supplied with the AutoCut C 6-2 mowing head, the FSA 86 R can also be fitted with the PolyCut 6-2 or DuroCut 5-2 heads for tougher, denser grass or light scrub. Variable speed control on the soft-grip handle lets you adjust cutting power instantly, while the lightweight aluminium shaft and adjustable loop handle provide excellent balance and manoeuvrability. A built-in spacer bracket protects trees, shrubs and fencing when trimming in tight spaces.
With the recommended AP 200 S battery, the FSA 86 R delivers up to 35 minutes runtime using AutoCut and up to 60 minutes with PolyCut. It’s also compatible with STIHL Connected using the optional Smart Connector, making it ideal for users who want maintenance tracking and usage monitoring.
