GrassCut 250-32, low spin
Flying stones and gravel often create problems when mowing with clearing saws on traffic islands or in public parks and green spaces. STIHL has the answer: the low-spin 250-32 grass-cutting blade with KWF certificate reduces the safety distance from objects and vehicles to three metres. Thanks to the special tooth shape, the risk of particles flying around is reduced to a minimum. The result is greater safety, maximum working comfort and quicker results.
