Stihl Long Reach Hedgetrimmer

Posted by paul kenny on May 6, 2020 at 8:45pm in Machinery

 

 

For Light commercial use what's people's thoughts on the Stihl HLA65 or the Stihl HLA86 cordless long reach hedge trimmers, they seem to be a number of promotional prices to include the Hedge trimmer, Batteries and Charger which make them look attractive to buy.

 

Has anyone be using these tools if so what do you think ?

    We use the HLA86's and not just for light duty use, but for everything that we ned to cut. They are good bits of kit.

    Have these exact 2 machines. Been really happy so far but only been using them since the start of the season so unable to comment on longevity. They are both lovely to use and currently I am really happy I made the decision to try battery kit out. My work is purely domestic maintenance.

    hi been using these models for quite a few years now, the hla85 is quite a bit heavier and more bulky than the hla65 so I only use it for parts of jobs where its telescoping abilities are valuable

    I have the HLA 65. It’s very good.  

    I have the HSA 86 also. I bought this with the current offer you mention with two AP 200 batteries and the AL 300 charger. Your dealer should give you 12% discount on top of the Stihl offer.

    My dealer suggested removing the handle from the HLA 65, which I did as it was constantly in the way. I use an easy lift harness so I also moved the ‘eye - hook’ further down the shaft for better balance.
