Petrol Hedgetrimmers

Stihl Petrol Engined Hedgetrimmers

When it comes to petrol hedgetrimmers the brand name of Stihl should immediately come to mind. As perhaps the worlds main manufacturer for petrol chainsaws, Stihl are also renowned for all of their landscaping equipment including their standard and long reach hedgetrimming machines.

As with all of their equipment they are designed with several strong characteristics. These being the machine must be tough, reliable, easy to use, and perform to the highest of standards.

The majority of Stihl customers are either the keen home gardener or the professional landscaper. Both of these customer types dictate the same characteristics as Stihl have chosen for their machines.

Model Range:

The model choice of hedgetrimmers has a machine suitable for most trimming and cutting work in the garden. The HS45 is a standard "typical" petrol hedgetrimmer that is available in two different blade lengths. Being double sided its blade can cut in either a left or right direction as well as being well balanced to use. A safety guard is standard equipment protecting the user from the cutting blades as well as from interference with branches and twigs.

Sitting at the lower end of the price range this is a firm favourite with home gardeners as well as tradesmen and business users.

Next in the model line up is the HS81T and HS81R models. With different gearing and blades these are machines that have been designed for cutting or trimming work specifically. The HS81T is available in three (3) different sizes with a blade length of 50cm, 60cm, or 75cm. The "T" suffix identifies this Stihl machine as a pure hedgetrimmer.

The HS81R is a hedge cutter. Geared differently to the "T" model its double edged blades run at a lower speed (with increased torque) allowing it to cut through relatively thick hedge branches. It can be purchased with two different sizes of blades - these being 60cm or 75cm in length.

Both the "T" and "R" versions have been developed with operator ergonomics in mind, being pleasant to use for long periods of time in the garden or work area due to their low vibration levels.

The Stihl HS86R is a professional hedgecutter that is fitted with a tough single sided cutting blade. This individual machine has been designed for tough cutting back of overgrown hedges and bushes. Its blade length is 75cm and is driven by a high torque two stroke petrol engine. The petrol filler cap on this model is "tool free" making refueling easy.
The HS86T is a single sided hedgetrimmer fitted with a choice of 75cm or 100cm trimming blade. Using a high speed gearbox the HS86T can cut at up to 5000 strokes per minute. This particular model is ideally suited for fast shaping of hedges, shrubbery, and bushes in the garden.

Stihl Long Reach Hedge Trimmers:

For large and tall hedges these landscaping machines eliminate the need for the use of scaffold towers and work platforms in the garden. Due to their long reach this range of machines makes gardening work easier and safer.

There are currently 4 models in the line up; the HL95, HL95K, HL100, and the HL100K. All are powered by Stihl's revolutionary 4 mix petrol engine. This is similar in design to a two stroke engine but runs on a 4 cycle basis. The result is less emissions, greater power, and lower noise levels.

Two different shaft lengths are available on these machines, the "K" suffix identifying the shorter of the two. All models have an adjustable span trimming blade that covers a wide range of cutting angles. The design of these long reach hedgetrimmers identifies them as being the ideal solution to otherwise using traditional ladders.

As with most powered equipment and tools available to buy, there are many different petrol hedgetrimmers available to buy in the UK, and the choice can be overwhelming at first glance. Petrol hedge trimmers traditionally have more power than their electric equivalents and are more versatile to use having no trailing electric cables.

With no power cables needed this also allows the machine to be used in harsh weather conditions such as light rain or drizzle. In these conditions the only other alternative would be the use of a battery operated model.
