Overview

The STIHL FS 250 Petrol Brushcutter equipped with the DM 250-3 (3-tooth brush knife) is a heavy-duty, professional-grade clearing saw built for tough agricultural, landscaping, and field clearing tasks. Driven by a high-torque 40.2 cc STIHL engine outputting 1.6 kW (2.2 hp), the FS 250 easily tackles thick brush, dense reeds, heavy weeds, and tough woody vegetation that standard line trimmers cannot cut through.

Designed for extended commercial operation, it features an ergonomic bike handle (handlebar) paired with a full shoulder harness, providing a natural left-to-right sweeping motion over large areas while reducing operator fatigue. The included STIHL DM 250-3 steel blade is specifically engineered for thinning out heavy brush and thorny scrub. Equipped with STIHL ElastoStart, a manual fuel primer pump, a compensator engine management system, and a 1-point anti-vibration system, the FS 250 offers consistent engine performance and low maintenance requirements in demanding field environments.
