STIHL BT 131 Petrol Earth Auger
The STIHL BT 131 Petrol Earth Auger is a powerful and reliable one-man drilling machine designed for professional use across horticulture, agriculture, and construction. Built for strength and efficiency, it easily drills holes up to 300 mm in diameter, making it ideal for installing fence posts, planting trees, or setting foundations.
High-Performance 4-MIX® Engine
Fitted with STIHL’s advanced 4-MIX® engine, the BT 131 delivers high torque and fast drilling performance while reducing emissions and fuel consumption. The 0.7-litre fuel tank allows extended operation without frequent refuelling, ensuring maximum productivity on site. A simplified start-up process makes it quick and easy to get to work, even in challenging conditions.
Operator Safety and Control
Safety is built into the design of the BT 131. The STIHL QuickStop drill brake automatically stops the auger if it becomes jammed in the ground, helping to protect the operator from sudden torque reactions. This intelligent braking system enhances control and reduces the risk of injury during demanding drilling work.

Engineered for single-operator use, the BT 131 features a low-vibration frame grip and a large support cushion that rests comfortably against the body. This ergonomic design allows for precise control and reduced fatigue during extended periods of use. The robust frame construction ensures durability and stability, even in tough working conditions.

STIHL offers a full range of compatible auger bits and drilling accessories, allowing users to adapt the tool for different soil types and hole diameters.
