Imagine you’ve got a garden that demands more than your basic strimmer - something tougher, something that makes overgrown grass and unruly patches feel like a breeze. Enter the Stihl FS 55 R Petrol Brushcutter with Autocut C 26-2 Mowing Head from ITS - a lightweight but powerful partner in your outdoor toolkit that blends exceptional manoeuvrability with reliable performance.

Powered by a refined 27 cm³ Stihl 2‑MIX engine, this brushcutter balances power and efficiency beautifully, delivering around 0.75 kW (equivalent to 1 HP) while minimising fuel consumption and emissions.

Whether you're tackling thick matted grass or hard-to-access areas, this engine sets the tone for effortless mowing.

Weight is an often overlooked but vital feature and at just 4.4 kg (without fuel or cutting tool), the FS 55 R feels nimble and responsive in your hands. Its clever loop‑handle design gives you increased dexterity and control, especially in tight spots or awkward terrain.

Every interaction with the tool has been intuitively designed for comfort and convenience. The integrated multi‑function control handle lets you manage throttle and stopping without shifting grip, and the loop handle makes one‑handed operation both safe and efficient.

Stihl has even included a manual fuel pump - or "purger" - that primes the carburettor quickly before starting, cutting down on pull‑start effort after idle periods. The encapsulated electronic ignition ensures dependable starts, even in damp or dirty conditions.

Mounted as standard is the AutoCut C 26‑2 mowing head, giving you a generous 420 mm cutting diameter - ideal for swift, clean trimming of lawns or clearings. You can also upgrade to various blades with the correct fitments if your tasks veer into thicker vegetation or tougher brush.

Whether you’re a keen gardener or a professional landscaper, the FS 55 R promises durability and comfort - perfect for estates, backyards, and mixed-use environments. Its thoughtful design and performance-packed engine ensure you’ll move through your yard with confidence and ease, every time.
