Description:

The STIHL® BT 131 earth auger is a high performance and lightweight tool professionals need for post-hole digging, fence installation, large planting projects, environmental restoration, and construction projects. Featuring a powerful, fuel-efficient engine and a larger fuel tank than previous models, this auger works longer with fewer refuels. It also features a vertical pleated air filter for improved air supply quality and extended service life. Its semi-automatic choke lever enables a simplified starting procedure that reduces the chance of flooding, while the STIHL Quickstop® auger brake is designed to automatically stop the auger bit from turning if it hits a hard underground impediment. With an ergonomic design, the BT 131 delivers control and comfort while reducing fatigue. Don’t miss out on this auger that combines power and performance.

Features:

• Reduced-Emission Engine Technology—Caring for Nature – The STIHL® Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL® Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
• Long-life Air Filtration System – The long-life air filtration system helps reduce the need for frequent filter cleanings.
• STIHL Quickstop® Auger Brake – This braking system is designed to stop the bit from digging when the auger hits a hard underground impediment. In addition, the STIHL Quickstop® drill brake acts to stop backwards rotation. A jammed drill bit can simply be unscrewed from the borehole.
• Hip Pad – The hip pad is positioned close to the body or leg of the operator during use for more comfortable operation.
• Vibration-Dampening System – This advanced vibration-dampening frame increases user comfort and helps reduce operator fatigue, especially when used over long periods of time.
