HS 87 R petrol-driven hedge trimmer: for large-volume pruning

General

The powerful STIHL HS 87 R petrol-driven hedge trimmer is ideal for pruning. The transmission, which is specially designed for high torque, results in high forces with low blade speeds. Professionals in horticulture and landscaping as well as local authorities benefit from this. The blade geometry and large tooth spacing as well as the gear ratio generate a high cutting force, even for thicker branches. With low speeds of 3,100 strokes per minute, the HS 87 R hedge trimmer deliver a high cutting power. This means that you can carry out precise pruning when maintaining bushes and shrubs, as well as when trimming hedges, thanks to the double-sided cutting blades.

High cutting performance is achieved with the powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine and single-sided cutting blades. The two-handed operation with control handle and handle enables you to work safely with the hedge trimmer. This means that you can have the STIHL HS 87 R in an ergonomically favourable position for every horizontal and vertical cut. The stop button ensures that the engine is ready to start again immediately after an interruption in work. The STIHL catcher plate for hedge trimmers catches cuttings directly on the blade of your STIHL HS 87 R, making your work easier. The STIHL anti-vibration system absorbs engine vibrations to make longer periods of use as comfortable as possible, protecting muscles and joints.

The STIHL HS 87 R is equipped with a tool-free fuel cap so that you can top up operating fluids, such as petrol or oil, as quickly as possible.

The STIHL HS 87 R has a bar length of 75 cm.

      STIHL Smart Connector

      The STIHL Smart Connector forms the basis for using all STIHL connected functions. These functions can be used via both the STIHL connected App and the STIHL connect Portal. Once correctly attached to a STIHL power tool or another manufacturer’s power tool, the STIHL Smart Connector records operational hours while the machine is running, stores them and transmits them to your smartphone via Bluetooth as soon as it is within range. The data received in the STIHL connected App is transferred to the STIHL Cloud when there is an internet connection. The data is stored there in compliance with data protection regulations. The STIHL connected App and STIHL connected Portal allow you to access your power tool data at any time. STIHL connected opens up new avenues for professional users to obtain a convenient and transparent overview of their own power tool fleet. At the same time, STIHL connected provides information including operational hours, power tool status including reminders of overdue maintenance, the last known location, and whether or not the power tools are currently nearby. For professional users, this means improved digital fleet management, more efficient processes within companies, and even closer contact with STIHL dealers. Private users can also use the system to keep an eye on their power tools and carry out maintenance at the right time.
