Stihl FSA135R and Stihl FSA90R battery powered weed eaters trimming overgrown weeds. AMAZING!

[@lawncarett5398]

I must say this video really convinced me

[@douglaslawncare2843]

👊🏻💥

[@billyd9205]

I got the fsa86r. And 135r both have a place 86 for maintenance edging.. 136 for the big brush cutting. Wouldn't go back to petrol.👍

[@brandonhiggs88]

I have the FSA90R and the KMA130R.i use the 90R with my ap300s batteries and the 130R Kombi with the ap500s batteries. The 130R with the ap300s only gives me about 30-35 mins run time

[@3103Juan]

Great video.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Thanks!

[@woods-garage]

Thanks for posting. This was very helpful. I had been thinking about the 90, but I will occasionally need to cut some thick stuff like you showed. I already have some Stihl tools and 2 AP300S batteries, so for me it’s just a decision on the right model. Looks like I need the 135.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

I definitely like the 135 better. Both my guys like the 135 better as well.

[@optimuz08]

For sure the 135,😊

[@lawncarett5398]

Cool video btw

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Thanks!

[@smitty2jones]

My goodness that 135 r just eats. I have a small push mower for a small section between a fence and bushes, and above a walkout, but this video convinces me I don't even need that push mower - as fast as that's knocking down that tall grass! In theory, the KMA 135 r should be the same, yeah? It would be nice to have the pole saw attachment as well!

[@sirvozelo1]

I have the FSA135, not like this one but in bicycle configuration, my brother have the FSA90 also in bicycle handle configuration, is no way the FSA90 can challenge the FSA135, also is much better balanced the FSA135.

[@user-cy4do1sp1r]

Have you tested these two with a weed blade? Can you use a weed cutting blade with both the 90 and 135?

[@michiel3g]

Im going to buy the FSA 135 (r). Not sure if i should take the bicycle handle bar version or the normal handle bar version (r). Any suggestions?

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

We want to see you string trim in your speedo!

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Done✅

[@Cyberspace_42]

I look at the FSA60 R. Is this a nice machine too für Hobby gardeners?

[@justinpenn1148]

Great video thank you. How do you find the 135r trigger and handle if just edging (holding on side?)

[@douglaslawncare2843]

I haven’t had an issue. Takes a couple times to get use to but after that no problem!

[@Goncalo_coelho]

If you're a pro doing this all day, it might be hard to manage keeping all the batteries charged, but for literally anyone else, I feel like the simplicity, lower maintenance power, ease of use make it the best option. I saw these with cuttting disks chopping down thick trees without even bogging down a single bit.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Nope, it’s pretty easy to keep them charged.

[@nuttermudder4630]

running it without a guard would definitely overheat it within an hour or two. I have 2 fsa130r and they overheat with the guards on when the temp is 30c - i'm trimming about 6 hours a day so I rotate them and when super hot I just use gas. I go through 5 AP300s batteries a day. for a homeowner it would be silly to get a gas trimmer now

[@douglaslawncare2843]

@@nuttermudder4630 well… I’ve been running three of these commercially for over three years without guards. So I think I’ll be ok.

[@nuttermudder4630]

@@douglaslawncare2843 if you say so

[@grahamwatson6570]

If I wanted to strim all day with my 90 without access to recharge batteries I would need dozens as it'll run for about 15 minutes,, absolutely useless for my needs

[@lyonlawncare4145]

Great video, thanks for your review! How is the battery life? I tried running the Milwaukee battery trimmer this last season and I just couldn't come to grips with running one battery for every yard. Power, build quality, etc was great, but the battery life was atrocious. If I could get through a day of trimming on two batteries I might get into it.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

It all depends on what setting your running it on and what you’re cutting. I’d say you’re looking at anywhere between 25-50 minutes. Just depends on what you’re cutting and what battery you’re using.

[@fishlover4523]

@@douglaslawncare2843 So I just got mine and I used the AP 300 and it lasted 5-6 yards. Edging, and trimming around houses. So I can only imagine if it lasted around 50 minutes on the smallest one I have how long with the 500 series I think last. double? Edit; this was on lawns I have maintained a straight edge super clean for a while now. I will still use my gas Shindaiwa with a Edge-it attachment for those that I need to train back and if they are super overgrown.

[@show2ime]

I was all about gas too until I drove my buddies Tesla..nothing like it. Plus battery power is instant if you want it to be.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Nice!

[@lawncarett5398]

The battery powered units are good but until they stop making gas units i dont think imma switch just yet

[@douglaslawncare2843]

I’ll never go back!

[@rkgsd]

What kind of battery runtime do you get on the 135 cutting weeds that big?

[@douglaslawncare2843]

www.stihlusa.com/WebContent/CMSFileLibrary/downloads/APsystem.pdf These numbers are fairly accurate.

[@lawncarett5398]

What mm line do they use or is it same as the gas powered

[@douglaslawncare2843]

amzn.to/3zVcGzp I’m using Echo Black Diamond in this video. .95. It can also take .105 line but I prefer the .95. So yes, same as gas.

[@markchavez7707]

No clutch😀

[@elishasrepairandmore3639]

Wow that 135r is a beast, how much is something like that with the battery and charger.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Trimmer is about $410 Charger is about $100 Ap 300s battery is $250

[@henryredfern5896]

Gas powered weedeaters are 100% better especially a STIHL anything gas powered is better because to me it will last longer

[@douglaslawncare2843]

I totally disagree. My Stihl FSA135R’s have all lasted longer than my Stihl fsa 94r’s and my fsa 91r’s. Just saying.

[@grahamwatson6570]

I have a fsa 90 and it's absolute rubbish, not a patch on my cheap brand petrol strimmer

[@wattebol]

Does Stihl pay well?

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Don’t get paid by Stihl buddy! If I did I would legally be required to disclose that.

[@grahamwatson6570]

😂

[@grahamwatson6570]

My 90 is rubbish , only fit for homeowner use

[@douglaslawncare2843]

I’d agree
