If you need to maintain tall shrubs and trees, the HTA 86 extendable battery-powered pole pruner is up to the task.
The telescopic shaft extends from 270cm to 390cm so branches that are up to 5 metres high are still accessible from the ground. It is really easy to adjust the length of the tool using the twist mechanism and the robust branch hook can be used to pull cut branches down.
Useful features like the side chain tensioning and the oil cap that can be easily opened without tools make it easy to get started with the HTA 86, and the low vibrations and low noise generated by the machine make it comfortable to use too. For greater comfort, consider adding the RTS Super Harness.
Its impressive cutting performance is thanks to the quality STIHL saw chain that it comes with - manufactured with Swiss precision at the STIHL factory in Switzerland, you'll get a perfect cut every time with the HTA 86.
- Run time with AP 200 battery: up to 42 min
