STIHL FSA 200 R Test Run

[@_CarlosA]

Looks great! We've the 135r for our landscaping business and it's too powerful at full speed for us. We only run it at 1st or 2nd speed for our residential properties! Happy to see more options for people though!

Thanks for the info!

I have the 135 also, sure the machine is great, to bad the AP500 S battery isn't really up to the machine.

@@sirvozelo1 it’s all about how big of fuel tank do we want to carry

[@oliverjarquin8716]

How long is the runtime in Full Power Mode and higher wet Grass with the the 500s Battery?

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

TBD

I have not this one but the FSA135 over 3 years, have used and abused over manufacturers recommendation never have a problem is an excellent machine. In regard to battery time is a nightmare I may say, the battery technology fail way short for this machine in a professional use, also same goes for the MSA300 chainsaw witch I also have. I have all batteries from AP200 to AP500S, + - 30 minutes and the AP500S battery is out of power.

I use 135R everyday for my routes. 3 500S batteries will get me through the route. The 200R's just sit in my shop. They eat up 500S batteries like nothing, regret buying them at $600 each.

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

And you find the 135 has all the power you need?

Hello, it seems à good brushcutter but the field used does not reveal nothing on the capacities because too dry, . Thats like using a chainsaw on balsa ...

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

That grass was thick and heavy down low, it may be dry on the top but it is hard to cut, my FS111 bogged in that stuff
