FB 131


Previously only available as a STIHL KombiSystem attachment, professional landscapers can now give lawns and flower beds a crisp, clean edge with the gasoline-powered STIHL FB 131 bed redefiner. With its 710 cc fuel tank and low-emission engine, this professional-grade redefiner delivers long run times without sacrificing performance. It features a vertical pleated paper air filter for good filtration and STIHL IntelliCarb technology which maintains desired RPM if the air filter begins to clog. A simple starting procedure also helps pros get to work fast.

“This dedicated bed redefiner has all the bells and whistles to deliver a precise edge at a consistent depth,” said Marv Mathwig, product manager at STIHL. “Its features also help users save time, which on the job, means money.”

Key features:

  • Semi-automatic choke lever enables a three-step start procedure: simply purge the primer bulb, set the choke and pull the starter handle.
  • One-touch stop switch allows user to turn off the engine with the simple press of a button. The switch automatically returns to the start position which saves time and reduces the chance of engine flooding when restarting.
  • Cost effective replacement blades with patented cutting geometry for performance.
  • Straight solid-steel drive shaft comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
  • Multi-function control handle for easy access to all controls.
