Back to the real 2 stroke engines! I love it

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

Long live the OG

[@patrickgambsky6290]

That's an awesome machine and so is the FS 240

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

Both great units. That said the 251 is significantly more powerful.

[@patrickgambsky6290]

@@carlsmowerandsaw yes sir

[@erike7297]

OHH mama...I just found out about this rig today and I can't wait to get one. Almost another half of a horsepower compared to the 240 yes please. I already have a 240 and some 131's but I'd love to have more power and the same weight too. Thanks, nice reviews.

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

Thanks for watching. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts once you get one

[@jarrod1687]

240 already has heaps of grunt, I'd like to try the 251

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

I think we will feel it in the heavy vegetation

[@harryerhart5978]

Nice it's been 10 or twelve years since they came out with a new trimmer FS94??

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

There have been a few intro’s and updates over the years. Hard to fix what ain’t broke

[@justinstewart7960]

Why does it show less HP on Stihls website? Shows 240r at 2.3 and 251r at 2.0

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

That’s odd
I took the specs right out of the book.

[@Capitalism99]

Well it's either the book Is wrong or the official site is wrong.

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

The price tags in the dealership also state the higher horsepower

[@Capitalism99]

I can tell everyone my cat is a dog. Don't be spreading false information please!

[@26frenzy]

Is this engine a standard 2 stroke or is it a 4 mix motor ?

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

2 stroke

[@saulfloresmendoza9751]

What is the gear box ratio

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

I’m sorry I’m not sure what it is

[@StephenPaul1160]

Is it made in Germany?

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

It sure is

[@kevindills7936]

How many cc is it

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

41.6cc. I talk about that around 2 minutes.

[@buckyy_sap4918]

I bought a Stihl fs 251 and comes no circular blade but only weed eater, not i am not lookin for

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

Their brush cutters never come with blades only the line head and the blade is an optional accessory

[@buckyy_sap4918]

@@carlsmowerandsaw Thank you for replying, So I have to get a blade for it

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

@@buckyy_sap4918 yes you do
Is it a loop handle or bike handle unit? If it’s a loop handle you also have to get the blade attachment hardware

[@buckyy_sap4918]

@carlsmowerandsaw yes I have the bike handle unit and I pick up the blade for it, Thanks

[@jasoncarden9200]

240 r to 700 251 r 669 cost Stihl

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

It’s interesting isn’t it?

[@danw.1878]

On stihls wedsite it states the 251r is 2.0 HP and not 2.7 HP.

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

The spec sheet supplied to us by Stihl states 2.7hp. After operating it I can tell you it is more than the 240

[@danw.1878]

@@carlsmowerandsaw shoot that'll work and I'm all about it. I just bought a 240 kicking myself for not getting the 251 but then stihls website say it's less power. If it's 2.7hp I'm gonna get one

[@jeremykirk1334]

Stilh rep told me the website is messed up its 2.0 kw like in europe but its 2.7 hp​@@carlsmowerandsaw

[@meandthemrs7403]

The website says 2.3 hp for the 240r. 2.7 for the 251r.

[@danw.1878]

@@meandthemrs7403 agreed but when the 251 first came out it said 2.0 HP. Even my Stihl rep was taken back by that number since it's a 41cc trimmer and should be 2.7. Others did clear it up by mentioning the Stihl site was wrong.
