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.
