The STIHL FS 70 R Brushcutter is an efficient and lightweight petrol Brushcutter ideal for lawnmower contractors, lifestyle block owners or farmers. This trimmer is built to last, featuring a durable cable drive shaft, a high-durability forged connecting rod and a 4-bearing gearbox.

The powerful, fuel-efficient engine provides longer run times and requires fewer refuels, while its high-power output makes quick work of daily landscaping tasks.

The AutoCut 25-2 mowing head feeds out new line automatically when tapped on the ground, eliminating the need to stop and manually advance the line. The FS 70 R can also be fitted with a metal grass blades.
