Description
The Stihl HS 87 R Petrol Hedge Trimmer is a professional tool designed for strength, reliability, and efficiency. It uses 2-MIX engine technology, which delivers high power while also reducing fuel use and emissions. As a result, you save on running costs while staying compliant with the EU Stage V emissions directive.
The trimmer features a 75 cm / 30″ single-sided R-version blade. This blade has wide spacing and extra height, so it cuts through thick hedges and shrubs with ease. In addition, the gear ratio provides very high cutting force, making large-scale hedge work quicker and less demanding.
The HS 87 R also runs at a lower blade speed. Together with its large teeth, this design helps it cope with dense growth. At the same time, reduced weight and improved efficiency make it easier to handle for long jobs.
Starting and running are simple too. The electronic ignition system ensures reliable starting and smooth performance. A manual fuel pump reduces the number of pulls needed, which is especially helpful after breaks. In addition, the tool-free fuel cap makes refuelling quick and safe.
Operator comfort has also been considered. The Stihl anti-vibration system uses spring and buffer elements to reduce vibrations reaching your hands and arms. As a result, trimming feels smoother and less tiring, even over long periods.
Always check for wildlife before using your hedge trimmer. For example, look for nesting birds or hedgehogs in long grass to help keep them safe.
