HS 87 T petrol-driven hedge trimmer: for optimum trimming with fast cutting

General

The STIHL HS 87 T petrol-driven hedge trimmer has a gearbox specially designed for high speeds. The high blade speeds of up to 5,100 strokes/minute enable very fine cuts. This makes this hedge trimmer particularly well-suited to trimming hedges and shrubs. Professionals in horticulture, landscaping and local authorities have the ideal tool for vertical and horizontal cuts when trimming hedges.

The high-torque STIHL 2-MIX engine and single-sided cutting blades facilitate high cutting performance. Two-handed operation via the control handle together with the handle ensures you can work safely with the STIHL HS 87 T. This means that you have the STIHL HS 87 T in an ergonomically favourable position for every horizontal and vertical cut. The stop button enables you to restart the engine immediately after an interruption to your work. The STIHL catcher plate for hedge trimmers collects cuttings directly on the blade of your STIHL HS 87 T, making your work easier.

The STIHL anti-vibration system enables you to work comfortably even during long periods of use. It absorbs engine vibrations and protects your muscles and joints. The STIHL HS 87 T has a tool-free fuel cap so that you can top up fuels such as operating fluids such as petrol or oil as quickly as possible when necessary.

The STIHL HS 87 T petrol-driven hedge trimmer has a bar length of 75 cm.

Standard equipment

  • Anti-vibration system Zoom
    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.

  • ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM Zoom
    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 Zoom

  • MANUAL FUEL PUMP Zoom

    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.

    • STIHL Smart Connector Zoom
      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.
