THE POWER

Pro-grade engine and cutting performance

The FS 131 pairs a 36.3 cc displacement with 1.4 kW (1.9 bhp) of engine power and a cutting swath up to 16.5 inches with the AutoCut® C 25-2 head—specifications that place it squarely in the professional performance class.

THE TOOL

Attachment versatility and operator controls

The unit accepts the AutoCut® C 25-2 head and can be equipped with metal grass blades or brush knives; operator controls include Easy2Start™, a throttle trigger lock and tool-free handle adjustment for quick setup.

THE RENTAL

Flexible windows for one-off jobs or longer projects

Penticton Honda Centre rents the FS 131 by the half day (four hours), full day (8 hours, 8:45am–4:45pm), weekend (two days with Friday pickup) and week (seven days with daily hours listed), so you can choose a span that matches the scope of your work.

What the day feels like

It’s a workhorse intended for professional landscapers and demanding homeowners who need dependable runtime and attachment options.
