STIHL FS 91 R Petrol Brushcutter: Powerful & Precise for Demanding Clearing Tasks

The STIHL FS 91 R Petrol Brushcutter is a robust and highly manoeuvrable tool designed for effective landscape maintenance, tackling everything from tough grass and weeds to overgrown scrub. It combines STIHL's innovative 4-MIX engine technology with a durable straight shaft and ergonomic loop handle, providing excellent power, fuel efficiency, and precise control for clearing large areas, working in confined spaces, or around obstacles.

Features

• Powerful STIHL 4-MIX® Engine: At the heart of the FS 91 R is STIHL's unique 4-MIX® engine (typically 28.4 cm³ displacement, 0.95 kW / 1.3 hp output). This revolutionary engine technology offers the benefits of both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines:
  • Runs on Fuel-Oil Mix: Like a 2-stroke, it uses a convenient fuel-oil mix, eliminating the need for a separate oil tank or complex oil changes.
  • High Torque & Power: Delivers fantastic engine power, especially at lower RPMs, providing excellent torque for cutting through dense vegetation.
  • Lower Emissions: Complies with EU Stage V emissions directives, making it more environmentally friendly.
  • Quieter Operation: Features a comfortable, lower-pitched sound pattern compared to traditional 2-stroke engines.
  • Improved Fuel Efficiency: Offers increased fuel efficiency, reducing running costs and extending working time between refills.
• Loop Handle (R Model): The "R" in FS 91 R denotes the loop handle configuration. This handle type is ideal for:
  • Working in Confined Spaces: Provides superior manoeuvrability when trimming around bushes, shrubs, trees, fences, and other obstacles.
  • Precision Work: Offers excellent control for detailed trimming and edging.
  • Vertical Trimming: Well-suited for cutting along walls or fences.
• Solid, Rigid Drive Shaft: Equipped with a straight, rigid drive shaft, the FS 91 R ensures maximum durability and efficient power transmission from the engine to the cutting attachment. This design is built for robust professional use and provides excellent longevity.
• Simplified Starting System: Features a simplified starting procedure to get you up and running quickly. This often includes elements like:
  • Manual Fuel Pump (Purger): A small manual fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor, reducing the number of pulls required to start, especially after breaks.
  • Automatic Decompression: Reduces the compression pressure during starting, requiring less force on the starter cord.
• Multi-Function Control Handle: All important operating controls (throttle, stop switch) are conveniently integrated into a single, comfortable handle. This allows for easy, thumb-operated control without having to release your grip during operation. The stop button automatically reverts to the "run" position for quick restarts.
• STIHL Anti-Vibration System: The engine's vibrations are effectively dampened by buffer and spring elements within the handle area. This significantly reduces the transmission of vibrations to your hands and arms, making work more comfortable and less tiring, especially during prolonged use.
• Large Fuel Tank: Features a generous 0.71-litre fuel tank, providing extended run times and reducing the frequency of refuelling interruptions, allowing you to focus on the task at hand.
• Versatile Cutting Attachments (Supplied & Optional): The FS 91 R comes highly versatile and is typically supplied with:
  • AutoCut C 26-2 Mowing Head: A "Tap-and-Go" line head for clearing grass and lighter weeds, allowing for easy line advancement.
  • Metal GrassCut 230-2 Blade: A robust 2-tooth metal blade for tackling tougher, long grass and thick weeds.
  • Single Shoulder Harness (Standard): A comfortable harness that distributes the weight of the machine, reducing fatigue.
  • Optional Attachments: Can be fitted with various other cutting tools like brush knives, PolyCut heads (with plastic blades), DuroCut heads, or even small saw blades for clearing dense scrub and saplings (check specific model compatibility and safety guidelines).
• Long Air Filter Service Life: The easily accessible paper filter has a long service life, reducing the frequency of maintenance and saving resources.
• Weight (excluding cutting tool and deflector): 5.5 kg - 5.8 kg

Applications

The STIHL FS 91 R Petrol Brushcutter is an excellent choice for a wide range of tasks:

• Landscape Maintenance: Ideal for professional landscapers and groundskeepers for general garden and property upkeep.
• Clearing Tough Grass & Weeds: Powerful enough to tackle thick, long grass, dense weeds, and areas that require more than a light strimmer.
• Working in Confined Spaces: The loop handle excels at trimming around obstacles, trees, fences, and in tight corners where manoeuvrability is key.
• Edge Trimming: Provides precise control for neat and defined edges along paths and flowerbeds.
• Estate & Farm Management: Suitable for maintaining larger areas, verges, and ditches.
