Stihl FS94R

javjacob · Aug 25, 2015

I have been looking at several different string trimmers, Husqvarna, Stihl, Honda...ect. I am really heavily leaning towards the Stihl FS94R. I prefer 2 stroke for the light weight and simplicity but wasn't ruling 4 stroke out. All the reviews I have seen on the FS94R have been good that I have seen. Does anyone on here have one?

The Hondas I was looking at were the HHT25SLTA and the HHT35SLTA. I was able to handle a HHT25SLTA and it was fairly heavy but not too bad. The 35 is about 2 lbs heavier than the 25. I have always liked Honda for their reliability and longevity but them 4 strokes are heavy in comparison.

What do you think of the Stihl FS94R?

Not sure if anyone is here or not but I went ahead and ordered a new FS94R at the Stihl dealer today. They said they should have it in Monday.

I doubt anyone is listening but I picked up my Stihl FS94R today. Very nice, light weight and perfectly balanced.

I am happy with my FS240R. It's on the verge of heavy, but the power is ridiculous for anything but what I have; huge amounts of tall grass and heavy weeds. I call it Mr. Chlorophyll, because all the plant life it comes in contact with gets sprayed out in short order.

the lighter weight the better, saves your back if you are doing LARGE areas or 2 hours plus trigger time.
stihl works well here.
and they hold up well for HD use.

Just an update. I liked the FS94R so much I bought a 2nd one in 2018. Both are still running great with no issues at all. I put a grass blade on the first one.
