STIHL FS 240 Gas Brushcutter

STIHL FS 240

Description

The STIHL FS 240 is a professional gas-powered brushcutter built for heavy-duty clearing and trimming work. Its 37.7cc engine delivers 2.3 bhp through a fully lined drive shaft for smoother operation and reduced vibration, while the multi-function control handle keeps every control within reach of one hand. An IntelliCarb compensating carburetor keeps RPM steady as the air filter clogs, and a heavy-duty steel-on-steel clutch, protected spark arrestor muffler, and high-tech polymer housing are built to hold up under daily professional use. The FS 240 is also available with a loop handle as the FS 240 R.
