Product information & specifications
STIHL FS 55 Petrol Brushcutter
The STIHL FS 55 petrol brushcutter is a versatile bike-handle grass cutter designed for comfortable work on larger areas of grass around gardens, paddocks and property boundaries. With its efficient 27.2cm³ STIHL 2-MIX engine and ergonomic controls, the FS 55 is ideal for both professional grounds maintenance and demanding domestic users who need more power than a basic grass trimmer.
It's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
The ergonomic bike handle supports a natural brushcutting motion, helping you cover ground quickly and with less effort. A single-handed multi-function handle keeps all key controls within easy reach, and the tool-free handle adjustment means you can set up the FS 55 to suit your height and working style in seconds. Supplied with an AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head and a single shoulder harness, it's ready for effective grass cutting right out of the box.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ideal for larger grass areas around gardens, smallholdings and estates
- 27.2cm³ STIHL 2-MIX engine for efficient, low-emission performance
- Bike handle for comfortable, sweeping movements over wide areas
- Ergonomic multi-function control on the handle
- Tool-free handle adjustment for quick set-up and storage
- Manual fuel pump (purger) for easier starting after breaks
- 420mm cutting diameter covers ground quickly and effectively
- Supplied with AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head
- Includes single shoulder harness for improved comfort
Technical Details
Why Choose the STIHL FS 55?
Working continuously over larger grass areas is where a bike handle genuinely earns its keep over a loop handle — the two-handed sweeping motion is less tiring across a bigger job. If you're working mostly around obstacles, trees and borders rather than open ground, the FS 55 R with its loop handle gives better close-in control instead.
