STIHL HS 87 R Petrol Hedge Trimmer

Raw Power Meets Expert Engineering: Discover the STIHL HS 87 R Hedge Trimmer

When it comes to tackling demanding hedge maintenance work, you need equipment that won’t let you down. This petrol hedge trimmer is built to handle tough conditions with minimal fuss, providing the strength and control needed to work efficiently. From professional gardeners to domestic users with serious hedging to maintain, it’s a go-to solution for fast, effective results.

Reliable Engine Performance with Lower Emissions

Central to this hedge trimmer is its high-performance 2-MIX engine, a clever innovation that reduces fuel consumption and emissions. With a displacement of 22.7 cm³ and 0.7 kW output, this engine offers strong and steady performance while remaining environmentally responsible. The power level is equivalent to 1.0 hp, giving you the muscle to handle demanding work day after day. It also meets EU Stage V emission standards, meaning it’s a greener choice for regular use without compromising on performance.

Made for Large Amounts of Demanding Trimming

One of the standout features is its rugged single-sided blade. The blade measures 75 cm, with generous 38 mm tooth spacing, giving you the reach and cutting depth needed to manage thick or woody branches quickly. The letter ‘R’ signifies that this model is specifically designed for large volume cutting. The longer tooth height and moderate blade speed work together to handle challenging growth that would slow down standard hedge trimmers. It’s the tool of choice for heavy-duty cutting where power and pace matter.

Quick to Start and Smooth to Run

Getting started is simple, thanks to the manual fuel pump. After periods of downtime, this small feature makes a big difference. What’s more, the electronic ignition system delivers a reliable spark for smooth operation, reducing the chance of interruptions or misfires while you work. These systems make the hedge trimmer both practical and dependable—exactly what you need when there are lots of hedges to be cut.

Comfortable Handling for Long Working Days

Working with power tools for extended periods can lead to fatigue, especially with repetitive jobs like hedge trimming. That’s why this model includes an Anti-Vibration System. This minimises vibration transfer to the handles, reducing strain on your hands and arms. Weighing just 5.5 kg without fuel, it is also very easy to manoeuvre and exceptionally well-balanced, helping you stay focused and productive all day long.

Long-Lasting, Ergonomic Design

With a total length of 135 cm, it gives you excellent reach while remaining controllable in tight spots. Refilling is fast and stress-free, as both the oil and fuel caps feature a tool-free twist mechanism. The machine’s durable build quality makes it well suited to commercial environments. For added peace of mind, it comes with a two-year domestic or one-year professional warranty.

Optional Extras
