2027 Stihl FS 70 R 

2026 Stihl FS 70 R

This straight shaft trimmer is for home, farm, or professional use.

The STIHL FS 70 R is built for professionals who need dependable power and the control to handle everything from everyday trimming to detailed work around the landscape. Its powerful, fuel-efficient engine delivers longer run times with fewer stops to refuel, while the loop handle makes it easy to maneuver between bushes, shrubs, and other tight spaces. A lined drive shaft helps reduce vibration for smoother operation, while the lightweight, impact-resistant housing is designed to stand up to demanding use. When you need more line, TapAction™ lets you advance it with a quick tap of the AutoCut® head against the ground, helping you keep moving without interrupting the job.

A simplified starting procedure and manual fuel pump help reduce the effort it takes to get started, while the multi-function handle keeps key controls comfortably within reach. Underneath, a sturdy cable drive shaft, high-durability forged connecting rod, and four-bearing gearbox give the FS 70 R the lasting construction professionals can count on day after day. With fuel-efficient performance, easy handling, and durability built into the details, the FS 70 R is made for crews who need a trimmer that’s ready to work when they are.
