The STIHL FS 261 C-E petrol brushcutter supports professionals in landscape maintenance, horticulture and agriculture very efficiently in various types of work. The very large mowing circle is ideal for complex, large-scale mowing operations and maintaining young stands.

There is also the option of equipping the STIHL FS 261 C-E with other cutting tools, such as a grass-cutting blade, shredder blade, circular saw blade or various mowing heads. The large mowing guard provides improved protection against flying cuttings and small stones.
The double shoulder harness supplied as standard provides additional support, especially for longer periods of use, by distributing the weight of the STIHL FS 261 C-E brushcutter evenly across your body.

Key features
- High-powered petrol brushcutter for use in large areas
- For professionals in landscape maintenance, horticulture and agriculture
- Easy starting thanks to STIHL Easy2Start
- With STIHL 300-3 brush knife as standard
- Comfortable double shoulder harness for extended working with a brushcutter
- 3-bladed brush knife for forest and landscape maintenance
- MANUAL FUEL PUMP: A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required from a cold start.
- LONG AIR FILTER SERVICE LIFE: ENSURES LONG CHANGEOVER INTERVALS. Thanks to its long service life, you rarely need to change the easily accessible filter. This saves resources and reduces maintenance effort.
- COMPENSATOR: REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.
- SINGLE-HANDED MULTI-FUNCTION HANDLE: All the engine controls are at your fingertips, allowing easy and safe operation.
- ERGONOMIC BIKE HANDLE: EFFORTLESS MOWING OF LARGE AREAS. The ergonomic bike handle helps you mow large areas quickly and effortlessly, as this handle supports a natural brushcutter movement. The bike handle is easy to adjust and secure.
- TOOL-FREE HANDLE ADJUSTMENT: SET THE BIKE HANDLE POSITION. You can individually adjust the ergonomic bike handle (mowing handle) using the central clamping device. Thanks to the tool-free handle adjustment, you do not need any tools for this. The bike handle can be rotated 90 degrees for transport and space-saving storage.
