The Stihl FS 160 is a semi‑heavy‑duty petrol brushcutter engineered for tackling tough jobs—thick grasses, stubborn weeds, small saplings, and even gnarled undergrowth. With a displacement of 29.8 cc, this 2‑stroke engine delivers 1.4 kW / ~1.9 HP, combining power with manageable weight and robust build.

Weighing approximately 7.4 kg (excl. cutting attachment) and fuel‑tank capacity of 0.58 L, it offers a good balance of working time vs portability.  For user comfort, the FS 160 features a four‑point anti‑vibration system to reduce fatigue, along with a long‑life air filter and compensator that helps maintain performance under load.

Ideal for landscaping jobs where both line and blade cutting are required, it supports standard cutting attachments and is well suited for agriculture, grounds maintenance, and roadside work. Its sound‑pressure level is around 98 dB(A), and it offers good sound performance for its class.
