Stihl FS 251 R vs FS 131 R- Two stroke vs Four Stroke.

[@alexyegon2381]

stihl should hire this guy, he has done more for them in this short clip than all their promotional videos! keep up the energy Matt

+Alex Yegon Yeah! Stihl should send me a big, fat check and I'll share some with you! The least they should do is give us a couple of free trimmers!! Thanks for the encouragement and for watching the vids! God bless, Matt

+Discovering His Way I have a stihl Fs 250 Still going very strong and has for 14 years of clearing and trimming fence lines at my moms horse stable. It is a beast and is not for a first trimmer. Almost feels turbocharged and under boost at full throttle but yes on the lower rpm speeds it is mellow enough to trim the lawn.

I'm definitely going to buy the 2stroke off the strength of his demonstration.

[@mountfields]

The four stroke only sounds slower because you only hear the power stroke every other stroke of the engine, set up correctly you can feather the four stroke throttle just like the two stroke....

[@SandraSantos-rp6yl]

Your absolutely correct, the 4 stroke thrives on high rpm due to the piston firing every other stroke where the 2 stroke fires every time the piston reaches top dead center, however, the 4 stroke is quieter and cleaner, the 2 strokes are notorious for unspent gas hence the muffler is always clogged with oil.

Hey Matt, I am waiting for my FS240 (FS250 is no longer available) to arrive and your video was pretty awesome man. To be honest I was worried that the big 240 would only be useful for clearing brush, but thanks to your vid I am even more excited as you made it clear that the 240 would be useful for flower beds and areas requiring a more delicate touch. Also explains why trimming the flowerbeds has been so difficult with my 4 stroke trimmer. Love your energy- you should be in sales if you aren't already. Great video and thanks for taking the time to upload it!

[@LukeJav]

This guys enthusiasm can make any product seem awesome.

[@backspace4093]

No comparison between the 2 , the fs250 turns way more rpms and will outlast the 130 or any of the 4 mix trimmers probably 4 to one , they are both powerful but the 250 is just on another level

Good Job brother! We run 85's (since discontinued) 110's and 130's. never ran a 250 but you're right, Raw power on the 130's. The way around the tulips and tight areas is feathering the trigger. That keeps the rpm's low.

i have an fs130r that is about 15 years old. i use it in a combination of a little hard and VERY HARD. the thing cuts so crisp and smooth like butter. its heavy too!!!

[@12123188]

My experience with the 4 stroke is that you can slow it down perfectly fine. Not on the rpm side, but on the power side. With less gas the rpm will be almost the same, the engine sound will be almost the same, but the power isn't. No disadvantages at all, just harder to dose the power based on sound and rpm. You can only trust on the gas handle which can be a little harder to do.

[@matthewbeaver5026]

Yea though that can be hard on the 4 mix if you do it to often at to long of stretches. Can starve the valves of lubrication.

I'm in Hudson, FL and the heat makes me slow down but it looks like it makes you crazy. I really enjoyed your video. I've got the KM-130 because I use a bunch of attachments around the house and church. I would love to have the 250 as a Kombi unit with the FS94 trigger system. Right now I use a screwdriver to raise the idle speed when I want to use an intermediate speed on the 130. It's such a hassle. I hope Stihl hears our plight.

AWESOME Review.I have a little FS80 and agree with you . I hate the transition of the four stroke. I had mine back to the shop due this after i bought it but no fault was found. Its hard to control at slow speeds! almost as if its out of tune but its just the way it is.

[@WELCOMETOTHEPITINFO]

I used stihl for 20 years dedicated Stihl customer, bought 4 130s 3 years ago. Rented 1 husqvarna 535 ls on a big job last year . I switched to all husqvarna middle of 2014 . Better power to weight , not even close in comparison fs110 to husky 525lst. husky is cheaper too. Stihl has lost customers with the 4 mix vs true 2 strokes . Main reason they had to come back out with a true 2 stroke in the fs 94 which is a pretty good trimmer . But not enough to change the fleet on 20 + plus pieces of equipment. With fleet pricing Husqvarna can't be beat. Not the cheap stuff at Lowes but the actual professional series. I'll be husqvarna until something comes along better. Stihl needs to get their act together.

I own the KM 94 R, it is great! and lightweight. It has plenty of power trimming, with heaver duty stuff like cutting through heavy grass, or cutting down trees it is a bit under-powered but it will still get the job done, just takes a little longer. The KM 94 R has a solid shaft too, while the FS 94 R has the flex shaft

I own the handlebar version of the 130. with the right carb adjust and maybe a bit less ""ENERGY"" it feathers down just fine. the power is more than enough for anything you can put in front of it.

[@mountfields]

The four stroke sounds slower because you only hear the exhaust note every other downward stroke of the piston- (when it fires), where by the two stroke you hear the exhaust EVERY downward stroke of the piston. (The head RPM on both is the same)....
