Overview

The STIHL FS 230 Petrol Brushcutter is a robust, high-performance agricultural clearing tool engineered for mowing large areas of tough grass, clearing dense weeds, and harvesting animal forage. Positioned as a powerful workhorse for farmers, estate managers, and agricultural workers, the FS 230 delivers extreme durability and high torque to handle demanding commercial workloads in challenging rural conditions.

Powered by a heavy-duty 40.2 cc 2-stroke engine producing 1.55 kW (2.1 hp), the FS 230 features a solid drive shaft that accommodates both nylon line mowing heads and heavy steel cutting blades, such as the 2-tooth or 3-tooth metal grass cutting knives. Equipped with an ergonomic bike handle (bullhorn layout) for a fatigue-free sweeping motion, a manual fuel primer pump for quick starts, a heavy-duty air filter system, and a multi-function control handle, it provides effortless handling during long continuous shifts in the field.
