This is one sheer virtue! This is my personal opinion based on the operating experience of this product. See comment.

Advantages: 1) Power necessary for comfortable work; 2) Reliability in work; 3) When using a primer and a fuel compensator, it starts perfectly; 4) The presence of a double shoulder strap; 5) The price of lawn mowers.

Stihl. Build quality, power.

An excellent result not only in direct sections, but also in complex, bottlenecks.

This is a tool that should be in any household. There are no complaints about the quality.

Comfortable to wear. Easy to start. Since he took on shares, he also saved decently.

The undoubted advantages of the braid are its power, quality and ease of use.

good quality, easy to operate, powerful and reliable, protective cover.

powerful lawn mowing, mows everything, even shrubs and thin trees.

very productive, high reliability, quality

Very noisy. Work without headphones is strictly contraindicated. Glasses are the same. Sufficiently heavy. For women it will not work. If you mow exhaust gases (engine is two-stroke) you can breathe against the wind. Mix gasoline with special oil exactly in proportions.

Disadvantages: 1) Increased fuel consumption (relatively less powerful lawn mowers) 07-08 liters per hour of gas mixture when mowing lawn grass; 2) A bit noisy (relatively less powerful lawn mowers), Sound power level, with a plastic instrument dB (A) 2. 114, Sound pressure level with a plastic instrument dB (A) 2. 99; 3) A little heavy 6.3 kg.

For me, everything is OK, it’s hard for an age father to hold for a long time, not the easiest braid.

Only one drawback. With such a scythe, the front of work quickly ends)

I do not see any flaws.

high gas mileage.

STIHL FS 250 Reviews

Pluses: This is one solid merit! This is my personal opinion based on the operating experience of this product. See comment.

Disadvantages: Very noisy. Work without headphones is strictly contraindicated. Glasses are also obligatory. Heavy enough. For women it will not work. If you mow exhaust gases (engine is two-stroke) you can breathe against the wind. Mix gasoline with special oil exactly in proportions.

All the exact characteristics, not only of this, but also of other copies of the lawn mowing can be found on the official websites of distributors and manufacturers, for comparison, if you are going to buy a lawn mowing. Operating experience, this is a subjective factor. I have been using Stihl FS 250 for mowing all kinds of herbs on a plot of approximately 40 acres for the 2nd year already. In the manufacture of gas mixtures I use AI-95 gasoline and mineral oil for two-stroke engines STIHL HP (red) in a proportion of 1:45. But for the next season I plan to use synthetic HP Ultra oil (green). I work in sparing mode not on "full throttle (the benefit of engine power allows) "but "1/3", "1/2" briefly on "1" (full throttle). Since at full throttle in hot weather with prolonged use of 2-4 hours, you can overheat the engine, as well as significantly increases fuel consumption and engine noise. During ownership and use (2 years), breakdowns and difficulties in operating the trimmer did not occur. Each season, when servicing the braids, I change the air, fuel filter, spark plug, and also add branded grease to the gearbox. Elementary cleaning, washing. I’m using FixCut. a simple 2-string mowing head, a little inconvenient, because you need to constantly update the dull end of the string (turn over) to effectively mow the grass, which is not possible on this head, so I recently purchased an automatic mowing head and installed a knife-cutter on the casing. Metal knives for lawn mowing machines STIHL 2Z 230 mm (two-blade) and STIHL 3Z 250 MM (three-blade) I do not use yet, I handle square strings of different diameters. I did not have trimmers of other brands, this is the first, there is nothing to compare with, but for sure the well-known brands, except the cheapest ones, will work approximately the same. P.S. Works 5th year without breakdowns.

Pluses: Stihl. Build quality, power.

Minuses: Does not fell trees, requires gasoline.

Calm’s trimmer turned out to be excellent, all for the convenience of work. In general, the FS-250 is probably even a bit too much in power for small areas, unless you take it from stocks for unforeseen needs.

Advantages: Excellent result not only in direct sections, but also in complex, bottlenecks.

Disadvantages: Quite often you have to refuel, but this is like other powerful braids.

Acquired FS-250 as a replacement for the domestic cheap braid. Stihl used to be just a scythe, I trust quality. Noisy of course, well, decent weight. But on the other hand, it directly depends on the characteristics of the braid. The 250th power is enough for any thickets, from grass to shrubs. On our 60 acres the whole plot can be completed in a day.

Advantages: This is a tool that should be in any household. There are no complaints about the quality.

Disadvantages: For me, everything is ok, it’s hard for an age father to hold for a long time, not the easiest braid.

In principle, we use the FS-250 for 3 families, so the scythe is very often at work. There are no complaints about grass, weeds and weeds. I had to adapt with the bushes, the scythe bushes easily takes, but you need to restrain yourself in time to notice and stop big obstacles. It is not difficult to start, you do not need to dance with a tambourine. I advise you to preliminarily inspect the thickets for solid objects, so that later you can’t get money for repairs.

Pluses: Comfortable to wear. Easy to start. Since he took on shares, he also saved decently.

Disadvantages: Only one drawback. With such a scythe, the front of work quickly ends)

At first I thought about taking a less powerful lawn mower, and then I was seduced by the Stihl FS 250, especially since the price difference was insignificant. the lawn mowing fire, it brings down not only dead wood, but also weeds along my shoulder, bushes and thin young shoots of trees. The lawn mowing machine has a reliable vibration damping system, so when working with it for a long time, the hands do not feel fatigue. The steering wheel is ergonomically designed, so it’s easy for them to steer the braid in the direction in which it is needed.

Advantages: the undoubted advantages of the braid are its power, quality and ease of use.

I bought it to clean a heavily overgrown area, which I inherited from the business. I decided to build a house on this site, but first I had to put it in order. The Stihl FS 250 trimmer cleared an area of ​​20 acres in three days. Of course I worked intermittently, although this lawn mowing machine could work without stopping for several hours, but I’m not a robot, I needed a rest. the lawn mower is of good quality, it is convenient to operate, all control buttons are assembled on one handle, a double shoulder strap facilitates work with the lawn mower, and a protective cover protects the operator during operation from ingress of mowed grass.

Advantages: good quality, easy to operate, powerful and reliable, protective casing.

Disadvantages: I do not see any disadvantages.

Of all the lawn mowers, the Stihl FS 250 is perhaps the most powerful and most productive. She is even able to roll thin trees and dried shrubs. A raspberry plantation dried up on my site last year, so I easily chopped it with this lawn mowing. The only thing is it is a little gluttonous, although for an aggregate of such power and for working at maximum speed it is normal!

Pluses: powerful lawn mowing, mows everything, even shrubs and thin trees.

Disadvantages: high gas mileage.

I work in a cleaning company. For harvesting grass, we bought Stihl FS 250 scythes. First of all, this is an excellent combination of price and quality. reliable lawn mowing. It practically does not break. Starts up without problems even after prolonged downtime. Despite the high engine capacity, fuel consumption is moderate. The engine does not overheat, it always works smoothly, without jerking and howling. In work, we usually use fishing line, since the original fishing line is very durable and long-playing.

Advantages: very productive, high reliability, quality
