    I like your way of talking man, you helped me understand and you are hilarious, I bought the 131 and love it.

    My Fs 131 is almost two years old. It STILL starts up from a cold start on the first pull without priming it. Try changing the reel and using ,130 gauge string. You will mow down the thickes, tallest weeds all day long without having to stop and install new string. Best string trimmer made. hands down.

    Just finished up an internship I had with the WDNR and one of my mains tasks was weed whacking. They had me use the Stihl fs 131 and I was MOWING through yards upon yards of tall marsh grasses and shrubbery like it was nothing! I called it "The Shmack'em Whack'em". I will definitely miss my dear friend.

    I have the FS 131 with the bicycle handlebars and this is a powerful piece of equipment. I would highly recommend wearing ear, face, head and eyewear protection at all times using this trimmer. Also long pants, over-your-ankle boots and at least a long sleeve shirt for a little protection from what this machine throws at you. Leather gloves should be worn as well for some additional protection.

      @@NaptownTuner the good thing about the 4-Cycle engines is that they have have more torque than 2-Cycle engines. I've had my 131R for 2 years without a single problem. I run Stihl .105 round line with no guard and the damn thing will eat some grass. Guards tend to keep the line too short and get caught on everything. Keep in mind it takes practice to run a bump head with no guard but once you get used to it you'll never go back.

      @@NaptownTuner I'm looking to get this model because it is 4 stroke, just be sure to use the same gas mix as in 2 stroke engines. This thing needs periodical maintenance - valve adjustment every 100 hours or so. It is time to adjust when it becomes harder to pull on the rope, feels like compression has increased. And special grease must be added to the gear box. Here is a nice video explaining all maintenance items so your FS 131 would run as new for the next 20 or 30 years. ruclips.net/video/g7C0n8wHHfQ/видео.html

      If you are in open and can keep WOT it's absolutely great. But any type of edging/trimmin it's just not the tool for the job.

      Not to mention these things have so much power that damn guard won't let you get the string long enough. You can hear the engine settle down and run right not the high pitched squeal you get with the sting that short. They should have made those guards an inch wider swath
