Stihl added new battery-powered trimmer options for landscape pros: the FSA 200 and FSA 200 R.
Available with either a loop handle (FSA 200 R) or bike handle (FSA 200), the trimmers offer 60 percent more power than the FSA 135 and FSA 135 R and are built for trimming, cutting and weed clearing, according to the company. The FSA 200 R loop handle features a toolless adjustment customizable to the user’s height.
“These new trimmers are packed with industry-leading power for our professionals, allowing operators to tackle the toughest jobs,” said Mike Poluka, Stihl, product segment manager. “Landscapers know they can trust Stihl to provide best-in-class performance, durability and quality from these latest additions to the Stihl lineup.”
Features include:
- Professionals will find a newly designed, high-torque gearbox for use with more than ten different cutting attachments and an increased 18-inch cutting width. The variable speed trigger allows the user to adjust speeds. The bike handle version, the FSA 200, is also equipped with an antivibration system.
- The trimmers provide the power and performance of gas units while also offering the benefits of battery including reduced noise, no exhaust emissions and zero fuel.
- A brushless motor offers a high-power-to-weight ratio.
- The trimmers include a motor housing compatible with Smart Connector 2A. Operators can take advantage of the Stihl connected platform, allowing for enhanced fleet management from their connected devices.
