Stihl Brush Cutter FS350 Information

The FS350 Stihl brush cutter powers through thick weeds and saplings. One of the best features of this brush cutter is the ergonomic design. As many brushcutter models are heavier on the engine end of the brushcutter, Stihl came up with a way to balance that out. The engine is as light as possible without decreasing any of the power.

You get 40.2 cc's of power in the engine that tops out at about two horsepower. The engine offers the patented ElastoStart starter handle and a flow-through primer button.

The handles are padded for comfort to help eliminate user fatigue. Add in a comfortable shoulder harness, and you'll find the brush cutter never feels bulky or awkward, even after you've tackled a large field.
