<< Back to 2013 STIHL Trimmers/Brushcutters
2013 STIHL FS 130 R
Nothing is sadder than a bogged-down trimmer in thick brush. The STIHL FS 130 R trimmer doesn’t do sad. It features an incredible 33% increase in engine power over the FS 110 R trimmer. And its powerful, fuel-efficient engine rips through tough terrain without stopping to catch its breath. It features a loop handle for excellent maneuverability around landscaping obstacles and its anti-vibration system provides enhanced user comfort. And when you need something stronger than nylon line, this trimmer also accepts steel grass and brush blades, so you can make it the end of the line for dense growth.
