New line of Stihl trimmers packed with features for efficient trimming

When looking for more power to cut through landscaping tasks, professionals can count on the latest line of Stihl trimmers for extra muscle. These professional trimmers have powerful low-emission engines, providing 30 percent longer run times than their predecessors. The newest members of the Stihl string trimmer family feature a simplified 3-step start procedure enabled by the semi-automatic choke lever, saving users time. Each product’s vertical-pleated paper air filter allows for better filtration, extended replacement intervals and long service life.

“This new line of Stihl string trimmers fulfills the demanding landscaper’s trimming needs with its various features like the IntelliCarb compensating carburetor, which automatically compensates for reduced air flow when the air filter begins to clog to maintain desired rpm while trimming,” said Marvin Mathwig, product manager at Stihl Inc.

The new additions to the line include seven professional string trimmers: the Stihl FS 91, Stihl FS 91 R, Stihl FS 111, Stihl FS 111 R, Stihl FS 111 RX, Stihl FS 131 and Stihl FS 131 R professional trimmers.
