STIHL FS 91 Series

Description

The STIHL FS 91 Series gives you a professional-grade trimmer in two handle styles built around the same high-torque STIHL 4-MIX engine: the bike handle FS 91 or the loop handle FS 91 R. Both deliver 1.3 BHP, a 16.5-inch cutting diameter with the TapAction AUTOCUT 27-2 head, and a fully-lined solid drive shaft for smooth, low-vibration operation. A padded double shoulder harness, multi-function control handle, and easy-starting features keep both models comfortable and reliable through a full day of professional trimming.

Features

One Powerhead, Two Handle Styles

Choose Bike Handle or Loop Handle
The FS 91 comes with a bike handle for two-handed control, while the FS 91 R offers a loop handle for tighter maneuverability — same powerhead, your choice of grip.

Identical Power Across Both Models
Both models share the same 1.3 bhp STIHL 4-MIX engine, so you’re choosing a handle style, not sacrificing performance.

Match the Trimmer to Your Work
Pick the handle configuration that suits your terrain and how you like to carry a trimmer through a long day.

Built for Daily Commercial Use
Both the FS 91 and FS 91 R are professional-grade trimmers designed for daily commercial use.

High-Torque STIHL 4-MIX® Engine

1.7 in³ Displacement, 1.3 BHP
A 1.7 cubic-inch STIHL 4-MIX engine delivers 1.3 brake horsepower with the low-end torque professional trimming demands.

4-Stroke-Like Performance
The 4-MIX engine runs on a gas/oil mix like a 2-stroke but delivers the torque and lower emissions of a 4-stroke.

24-Ounce Fuel Tank
A 24 fluid-ounce fuel tank keeps you trimming longer between fill-ups.

Fewer Engine Rebuilds
The 4-MIX design puts less strain on internal components, meaning fewer engine rebuilds over the life of the trimmer.

TapAction™ AUTOCUT® 27-2 Cutting Head

16.5-Inch Cutting Diameter
A 16.5-inch cutting diameter covers ground efficiently on every pass.

Tap to Advance Line
The TapAction AUTOCUT 27-2 head advances line with a simple tap on the ground — no bumping or stopping to manually feed line.

Quick, Easy Reloading
The AUTOCUT 27-2 head is designed for quick, easy line reloading when you’re back at the trailer.

Consistent Cut Quality
A reliable line-feed system keeps cutting performance consistent from the first acre to the last.

Built for All-Day Comfort

Padded Double Shoulder Harness
A padded double shoulder harness distributes weight evenly, reducing fatigue over a full day of trimming.

Fully-Lined Solid Drive Shaft
A fully-lined, solid drive shaft delivers smooth power transfer with reduced vibration at the handle.

Multi-Function Control Handle
A multi-function control handle keeps throttle and stop controls centralized and within easy reach.

12-Pound Powerhead
At 12 pounds without fuel or cutting tool, the FS 91 and FS 91 R stay light and maneuverable through long days.

Easy Starting, Less Downtime

One-Touch Stop
A One-Touch Stop switch shuts the engine down quickly and reliably at the end of a job.

Semi-Automatic Choke Lever
A semi-automatic choke lever simplifies cold starts without extra steps.

Purge Pump Primer
A purge pump primer helps get fuel to the engine quickly for faster starts.

Vertical Pleated Paper Air Filter
A vertical pleated paper air filter extends engine longevity by keeping debris out of the intake.

Professional-Grade Durability

Heavy-Duty Steel-on-Steel Clutch
A heavy-duty steel-on-steel centrifugal clutch is built to hold up to daily commercial use.

Protected Spark Arrestor Muffler
A protected spark arrestor muffler helps reduce noise while protecting engine components.

Built for Landscapers & Ag Operations
Durable, professional-grade construction holds up to fence lines, ditch banks, and everyday landscaping work alike.
