Rated 5 out of 5 by Awesome power was lookin for a more powerful trimmer to replace another brand I had got tired of losing power in the thick weeds and this thing just mows them down with no loss of power I love the power of this June 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great weedeater This weedeater is the reason I've started buying all Stihl. It has ran, and ran, and ran. The only thing I would say is that it almost has to MUCH mower. if you're a pro that is servicing commercial properties that are older (older landscaping), be careful. I would say to go with the 110. The 130 has so much mower if you catch a rock it will brake whatever the rock hits. Both the 110 and the 130 are great products. It's ran for 3 years with no maintain. June 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by When my weedeater finaly worked! Have owned a Stihl 55 trimmer for over 15 years and finally decided to purchase the 130R as a replacement and give the old trimmer to my son. Took the new trimmer home and used it for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. The next time I tried to crank the trimmer I had to pull over 30 times to no avail. Returned it to the dealer and had them look at it. The service dept adjusted the carb and it cranked. Took the trimmer home and tried to use it the next day but would not crank even after repeated attempts. Had to use my old standby Stihl to complete the trimming around my yard. Again returned the trimmer to the dealer who had to replace the electronic ignition in the engine. I don't know how the trimmer ever made it out of quality control. After the repair the FS130R is back on he job doing what it supposed to do---work like a horse. I have never had any problem with any Stihl products and was very saddened at this experience. The dealer made it right and the unit works well alongside my Stihl blower. I still feel as if the Stihl products are the best made and would purchase another Stihl product again! Hopefully not for a long time. June 6, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Doesn't start Been to dealer twice for adjustments still don't run right get the twostroke models my old echos still out performs the stihl 130 because it don't start I have always used premium fuel and stihl syn oils June 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by A BEAST This trimmer is a BEAST!!!. This is my first review for anything but this machine deserves the time for my review. If you don't like power and performance don't get this machine. I have always used smaller Echo's with no complaints but decided to step up to a more powerful trimmer. I'm a large property owner and retired golf course superintendent and if you do serious weed eating like I do this is the machine. You cannot bog it down and will save you time. I researched and changed my mind several times, i was concerned about the little extra weight and extra cost, Its worth it! Still too early for dependability review to be 5 stars but it will start with one pull without chocking every time so far. I would recommend to get a 3 or 4 string pivot head because the 2 string head doesn't do justice for all the power you have and will break the string much easier than what you are used to, not a fault, just power.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Absolute Beast! Best trimmer I have ever owned! I really like the way you mix oil and gas in the 4 stroke Stihl products. That way all your handheld equipment still takes the sam fuel. Uses half the fuel of a 2 stroke trimmer and is quieter as well. Highly Recommend! May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stihl makes great products This machine is awsome. It has done all I have asked it to do. Living on a small farm, from weeds to small saplings, you cannot beat a stihl. Using the brush knife, this things eats everything in its path. I do recommend using premium fuel and using stihl ultra oil mix. I've owned the FS 130 for over a year now, It starts easy, & runs great. The FS 130 may be overkill for town residents, but a must have for rural living. May 10, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Great trimmer! Have been using this trimmer to clear some property that has been overgrown with honeysuckle,green briars, and buck brush for the last 20 years. Combined with the brush knife this trimmer goes right through any of this undergrowth. Plenty of power to do all of my jobs. The only complaint that I have is that it makes it so easy to clear the brush I can't keep up with all of the dragging, piling, and burning. The machine is light enough for all day use, it does burn quite a bit of fuel, but with the power output I guess that is to be expected. Great machine, I highly recommend it. April 11, 2013
