Why choose the Stihl FSA86R cordless brushcutter?
The FSA86R (also written as FSA 86 R or fsa86r) is part of the STIHL AP battery system, offering strong performance in a lightweight package (just 3.2 kg without battery). It uses the proven AutoCut C 6-2 mowing head, ideal for trimming long grass, edges, and tidying around trees and fences. With a cutting circle diameter of 350 mm, you can cover ground efficiently.
Comfortable and easy to control
The loop handle design helps you work in narrow spaces and around obstacles with better precision and freedom of movement. A softgrip main handle integrates the control lever and a safety lock, making it easy to handle while also helping to reduce vibration felt through your arms.
Infinitely variable speed control
The fsa86r offers smooth, stepless speed adjustment, so you can match cutting power to the task — whether you’re clearing thick weeds or lightly trimming lawn edges.
Smart connectivity option
By adding a STIHL Smart Connector (sold separately), the FSA86R can integrate into the STIHL connected system. This lets you track operating hours, get maintenance reminders, and keep your tool in good condition through the STIHL app.
