The main advantage of the Stihl FS 56 lawn mower is an engine that produces 10,000 rpm. And thanks to the flexible drive shaft, it easily handles large volumes of work. The tool weighs only 5 kilograms, and with a shoulder strap and a bicycle handle, working with it is as convenient as possible. The fuel tank capacity is 0.34 liters, so the trimmer will have to be filled regularly, but thanks to the economical engine of a special design, this will not need to be done too often. Motokosa can be used with both a steel knife and a cutting line. Special safety goggles are included to protect the operator's eyes from grass and debris during operation.

Model overview based on user reviews
The STIHL FS 56 is a durable and powerful trimmer that is well-suited for frequent and long mowing sessions. It is slightly more powerful than its predecessor, offering a 10% increase in horsepower, and is considered a brushcutter rather than just a trimmer. Users appreciate its lightweight and balanced design, enhanced by a shoulder strap, making mowing a pleasure. Although some users experienced initial difficulties with starting the engine, following the instructions resolved these issues, and it now starts without problems. The trimmer is effective at cutting through tough vegetation like wormwood and dead wood, though some users wish the fuel tank was larger to extend mowing time beyond 40 minutes. Overall, the STIHL FS 56 is a reliable and well-built tool, living up to the brand's reputation for quality.
Pros
Cons
I was looking for the classic, the 55. But I found this one, FS-56. It was more expensive. At first, I hesitated, thought it was different. But it's almost the same, just a bit more powerful. And more durable, as it's no longer a trimmer, but a brushcutter. Wow. The build quality is still the same Stihl. Weighs 100 grams more. But more powerful by 10% in horsepower. Seems like a little, but it's nice. Good potential, traditional Stihl quality For household use, the previous model is better; the potential of the FS-56 cannot be realized in the country setting. use STIHL FS 56 few months |
I bought myself a Stihl FS 56 from the official store. When choosing a braid, the consultant showed and explained everything. How to dilute and refuel gasoline, how to start it, how to properly clean it after work. Again, he let me hold it in my hands to figure out how and what. I'm happy with the purchase. Just such a tool is enough for my site Lightweight, balanced, and with a shoulder strap, mowing is a pleasure. It didn't start for a long time after purchase. I rubbed a callus while I was pulling the handle. Then I finally got out the instructions and did everything as expected. And now the scythe always starts without problems use STIHL FS 56 few months |
I bought it to replace a cheap scythe, which after a year of service stopped pulling. The two-handed handle is very comfortable, you don’t get so tired from working. It doesn't make much noise, the neighbors didn't seem to complain. There are also no complaints about assembly and reliability. Well, that’s understandable. Still, Shtil is a well-known company Chops wormwood, burdock and dead wood with a knife. Starts easily The tank would be a little bigger. 40 minutes is enough. And I need about an hour to mow the plot. use STIHL FS 56 few months |
