For comfortable operation in larger areas of grass.

Master Large Mowing Tasks with the STIHL FS 55

The STIHL 2-MIX engine delivers 0.75 kW of power to tackle thick grass and weeds across larger garden areas. This efficient 27.2 cm³ petrol engine is designed to provide high torque while maintaining lower fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emissions for the operator. Users will benefit from the robust performance required for thinning tasks and maintaining meadow grass where standard mowers cannot reach. This power ensures the 420 mm cutting diameter remains effective even when encountering dense or matted vegetation.

Ergonomics are at the forefront of this design featuring a professional bike handle that enables a smooth sweeping motion. When used with the included single shoulder harness the weight of the 4.9 kg machine is distributed evenly across the body. This setup reduces physical strain and fatigue during extended periods of work on uneven terrain or slopes. The tool-free handle adjustment allows the user to quickly customise the grip position to suit their height and comfort requirements.

Operational control is simplified through the single-handed multi-function handle which houses all essential engine elements. This design ensures that the hand of the operator never has to leave the handle to access the throttle or stop switch. Such a layout provides a higher level of safety and reliability as the user maintains a firm grip at all times. The integrated slide control for run and stop functions makes transitioning between tasks seamless and intuitive for both right and left-handed users.

Starting the machine is made easier through the inclusion of a manual fuel pump and electronic ignition module. The manual fuel pump or purger allows the user to deliver petrol to the carburettor with a simple thumb press. This significantly reduces the number of starting strokes required after long breaks in operation or cold starts. Furthermore the encapsulated electronic ignition system is protected against damp and dirt to ensure trouble-free engine performance in various weather conditions.

Maintenance and versatility are key advantages of the FS 55 with its straight shaft and flexible drive shaft system. It comes standard with the AutoCut C 26-2 mowing head which uses 2.4 mm line for precise trimming around obstacles. The 170 cm total length provides excellent reach under bushes and along fence lines without requiring the user to bend down. While supplied with a nylon line head the machine is also compatible with various metal grass blades for more demanding clearing work.

Main Features

  • STIHL 2-MIX engine for high performance and lower fuel consumption
  • Bike handle design allows for a natural and comfortable scything action
  • Manual fuel pump reduces starting strokes for easier cold starts
  • Electronic ignition module is fully encapsulated to resist damp and dirt
  • Multi-function handle integrates all engine controls for single-handed operation
  • Large 420 mm cutting circle diameter for increased work efficiency
  • Lightweight construction at 4.9 kg provides excellent manoeuvrability for homeowners
  • Supplied with a single shoulder harness to reduce user fatigue

Stihl

The Stihl Group develop, manufacture and distribute their power tools for professional forestry workers as well as garden and landscape maintenance. Andreas Stihl was just one man with a vision when he first founded his company in 1926. Over 80 years later Stihl now employ over 12,000 people and have over 35,000 dealers in over 160 countries.

In 1992 Stihl acquired the garden equipment manufacturer Viking. They were based in the Austrian Tyrol and under the leadership of Dr Nikolas Stihl (Grandson of the group founder), they expanded rapidly.

In the 2000’s Stihls fantastic innovation carries on, introducing the multi-tool concept that is currently known today as the KombiSystem. It wasn’t until 2009 that Stihl decided to enter the cordless power tool market. They released two standard setting hedge trimmers which were praised by an array of gardeners.

Stihl’s innovation has lead to a number of key features being produced. Such as automatic chain oiling, centrifugal clutch, Ematic system, ElastoStart system, 4-mix technology, Ergo Start and Anti-vibration systems all within their products.

The Stihl name has stood for revolutionary technology and innovative ideas ever since the firm was founded. Stihl garden machinery is regarded as probably the number 1 brand in the world today. The Stihl name is known round the world today for quality, innovation and service and in more than 160 countries their products are helping people at work. From the incredible chainsaw range to the flexible KombiSystem and quiet and powerful leaf blowers, you will find a Stihl garden machine to suit you.

And if that's not enough, all Stihl machines come with a 2 year warranty for peace of mind (3 years for the pressure washers).
