Product Description
Tackling tough grass, thistles and stubborn scrub on large areas? The STIHL FS 240 C-E gives you the muscle and control to clear it fast. Its 2-MIX engine delivers strong cutting power with lower fuel use, while ErgoStart makes starting easy so you get to work without fuss. With the large 0.75 l fuel tank and anti-vibration system, you can work longer in comfort.
Supplied with the robust 250-3 three-tooth metal blade and ADVANCE Grip handlebar, this petrol brushcutter is built for demanding farm, landscape and municipal work where reliability and ergonomics matter.
Where it shines
- Reclaim overgrown paddocks and meadows with dense, tall grass
- Cut back brambles, thorny hedges and woody weeds along fences
- Maintain rough verges, embankments and orchard understories
- Clear paths and edges where a mower can’t reach
Why you’ll like using it
- Easy, low-effort starts with STIHL ErgoStart
- Large transparent tank reduces refuelling stops
- ADVANCE Grip handlebar for natural, sweeping motion
- Anti-vibration system reduces fatigue over long shifts
In the field
The double shoulder harness spreads the load well, so the machine stays balanced over longer jobs. The stop button springs back after use, so it’s ready to restart immediately after a pause. Tool-free handlebar adjustment helps you fine-tune your stance or rotate the bar for transport.
