Stihl 381 vs Stihl S 20
Verdict: Stihl 381 vs Stihl S 20
The Stihl 381 and the Stihl S 20 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Stihl S 20 leads on rated power with 20 hp against 14 hp. Stihl 381 is the lighter machine (815 kg vs 980 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
