extreme conditions

STIHL’s Farmers’ Range of tools will make the tough task of farming a little easier. The models are robust, powerful and simple to operate and maintain. And, for total convenience and exibility, these models share spares such as lters, among others. This means that even in remote rural locations, these machines can be serviced by one person without fuss or extended periods of downtime.

“STIHL Farmers’ Range tools are designed for work on any farm, large or small,” says Werner Nuss, export and business development manager at STIHL SA. “These durable 40cc and 1.55kW machines are economical to operate and are also well-priced.”

FUSS-FREE CUTTING AND DRILLING

The FS 230 brushcutter is new to South Africa. Lightweight yet powerful, this machine is what every property owner needs to make light work of cutting and trimming tasks – it is ideal for clearing rebreaks and smaller areas of grass on plots and smallholdings. It features a cost-effective 40cc 1.55kW two-stroke engine and comes standard with a 305mm grass-cutting blade. The quickloading Autocut C26-2 nylon mowing head delivers impressive savings on nylon line. Fencing and pitting for planting are made easy with the STIHL BT 230 one-man auger. This 40cc machine uses two-stroke, making it cost-effective to operate. It can conquer the hardest, most compacted soil, drilling 30cm holes with ease. It is lightweight for easy handling, and the engine unit is protected on all sides by a sturdy support frame to withstand the demands of a rough in- eld working environment. Thanks to the use of market-standard components, a wide range of auger bits can be tted.

EASY WATER PUMPING, DIGGING AND PLOUGHING

With the WP 230 water pump, STIHL has addressed the essential need to access water for watering elds and livestock. This machine delivers a high vertical and horizontal pumping capacity of up to 250 l/min = 15 m3/h at up to 8m ow height and 27m pumping height. The standard lter cage protects the tool against intake of large particles and the high-quality clamps allow for easy hose assembly. The foam lter can be serviced quickly.

STIHL tools are known for their inherent quality, long working life and innovative design features that have been developed to deal with specific tasks.

Also developed for emerging farmers, the BC 230 cultivator with strong 250mm rotating long-life cultivator blades makes digging and ploughing easy. This machine has an ergonomic handle for maximum comfort during long periods of work and to protect the machine from dirt when laying the tool on the ground. The handles fold up for space-savvy storage.

Economical And Effective Crop Spraying

The STIHL SG 230 portable petrol sprayer effectively applies herbicides and pesticides. In addition to its fuel-ef cient two-stroke engine, it is economical to use – there is very little waste of expensive chemicals as the 30m hose offers extended reach and more precise application. It delivers larger volumes with a controlled ow rate for high-volume spraying.
