HS 87 R

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.

Standard equipment

Anti-vibration system

Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine's engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
STIHL 2-MIX-Engine

The STIHL 2-mix engine specially designed for the new generation of hedge trimmer combines low consumption and emissions with low weight and excellent acceleration. There are also always sufficient power reserves for cutting thicker shrubs.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

RELIABLE STARTING. The electronic ignition system ensures reliable starting and trouble-free engine running. The high ignition voltage of the fully enclosed ignition system ensures a stable ignition spark and a long spark burn time. This also improves fuel combustion and reduces exhaust emissions.
Single-sided blades

STIHL hedge trimmers with single-sided blades are ideal for cutting between waist and chest height hedges.
MANUAL FUEL PUMP

FOR FEWER STARTING STROKES. The manual fuel pump reduces the number of strokes required to start the power tool, making the start-up process quicker and easier This is particularly helpful after longer breaks in operation. To use it, actuate the pump several times before starting. This will ensure that there is enough petrol in the carburettor when starting.
PRUNING VERSION

FOR LARGE-VOLUME PRUNING. If you want to cut back thick hedges and shrubs at large scale, a hedge trimmer with pruning version allows you to carry out this work more quickly and easily. R-version blades are equipped with large blade spacing and increased blade height. The gear ratio ensures a very high cutting force.
TOOL-FREE FUEL CAP FOR OIL AND FUEL TANKS

QUICK AND EASY TO USE. With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure.
