Description:

The STIHL BT 131 earth auger is a powerhouse tool designed for professionals tackling post-hole digging, fence installation, large planting projects, environmental restoration, and construction tasks. With its potent yet fuel-efficient engine and an expanded fuel tank compared to previous models, this auger operates for longer durations with fewer interruptions for refueling. Equipped with a vertical pleated air filter, it ensures improved air supply quality and extends service life. The semi-automatic choke lever simplifies the starting procedure, reducing the risk of flooding, while the STIHL Quick Stop® auger brake automatically halts the auger bit rotation upon encountering hard underground obstacles. Ergonomically designed, the BT 131 offers control and comfort, minimizing operator fatigue. Don't overlook this auger that seamlessly merges power and performance.
