Stihl FS 55 R 27.2cc Petrol Brushcutter Black Silver Orange

if you've got a large garden or small garden maintenance business then this is ideal. not to heavy and plenty of power

I needed a petrol strimmer for the bigger areas around the field I have. I know someone who bought a Stihl and he recommended it. Great choice so far. Its a little heavy but it does have a shoulder support so takes out some of the workload. It is a 'tap on the ground' line feed so I felt a bit of a fool when I assumed it didnt work properly. I have only had it a few months but so far so good.

Excellent

The most disappointing aspect of this purchase was that I did not receive instructions in English in spite of a promise. Fortunately, I understand French so was able to fit the strimmer head but it would have been much easier with the above.

First impressions are good. Easy to assemble and much quieter than my older strimmers

Not fit for purpose. I bought this as it says it is a brush cutter. Every other brush cutter on Amazon comes with a metal cutting head along with a strimmer head. Not this one. I bought it specifically for getting through thick brambles on an allotment that has been left for a few years. The seller tells me the poly line will deal with light brambles. NO it won't. £340 spent on a strimmer is not what I wanted. It states it's a brush cutter but it's not. If poly line worked, I would use my other old petrol strimmer. I am now in a dispute with them. The seller wants to send out a courier to collect rather than send the part that is needed. How ridiculous. They should not be calling it something it clearly isn't. Joke is, it gives the vibration rate with a metal plate but nowhere does it clearly states this is an optional extra. Very poor. Will update if I have any joy.

Just the tool for the job from a great seller.

Works a treat
