More comfort during long mowing jobs

General

The STIHL FS 261 C-E petrol brushcutter supports professionals in large scale landscape maintenance, horticulture, and agriculture mowing tasks. The large mowing circle diameter of 300mm is ideal for large, complex mowing jobs.

The extremely light and comfortable fully adjustable double harness, supplied as standard provides additional support, especially for longer periods of use, and evenly distributes the weight over your body.
