A redesigned grip handle further improves ergonomics and control during long working days, while the bike handle configuration allows efficient sweeping mowing movements across large areas.

The updated deflector design improves visibility of the cutting attachment and makes storage easier when the machine is not in use. Combined with its professional specification and rugged construction, the FS 461 C-EM is an ideal choice for contractors, local authorities, estate managers and agricultural users.

The machine is supplied complete with a STIHL ADVANCE Universal Harness and AutoCut 46-2 mowing head, providing excellent comfort and productivity straight out of the box.
