STIHL PETROL HEDGE TRIMMERS FOR PROFESSIONAL HEDGE CARE

A powerful petrol hedge trimmer is ideal for large plots, as well as park and landscape maintenance.

POWERFUL CUTTING WITH PETROL-DRIVEN HEDGE TRIMMER

Hedges provide a beautiful and natural privacy screen, but also require regular maintenance. Petrol hedge trimmers or long-reach petrol hedge trimmers are a useful assistant for this task, especially if you are a garden and landscape maintenance professional. They can be used to cut back bushes, shrubs and hedges as well as for thinning out copses. The benefits of a petrol-driven power tool are clear: High performance enables very rapid work. They are not dependent on a power source and therefore have an almost unlimited range.

TIPS FOR PURCHASING A PETROL HEDGE TRIMMER

STIHL petrol hedge trimmers operate efficiently and without cables. They are available in various designs such as a comfort version (C) with ErgoStart (E), for trimming (T) or for pruning (R). Before making your purchase in the STIHL online shop, consider the following criteria to make sure you choose the right power tool for your application.

• Bar length: The cutter bar length determines your range and accuracy when maintaining hedges. Generally, precise contouring is best achieved using a short bar length, while a longer bar length enables accurate large-area cuts
• Weight: Depending on your preferred performance and planned use, make sure you choose the lowest total weight possible – the lighter the power tool, the longer it will take for your muscles to get tired.
• Application: Some models have been specifically designed for trimming (T) or pruning (R).
• Engine: Choose a power tool with the right engine performance for your applications. All of our combustion engines are powerful and reliable in operation; in addition, the STIHL anti-vibration system fitted as standard means they are low-vibration. Our STIHL 2-MIX engine is highly economical.
• Comfort and ergonomics: There are a number of features to ensure easier handling, such as the rotary multi-function handle, STIHL ErgoStart (E) start-up assistant, the STIHL anti-vibration system, double-sided cutting blade, tool-free fuel cap, and the tip protector for the cutter bar.

PETROL LONG-REACH HEDGE TRIMMER FOR TALL HEDGES

Even with a powerful petrol hedge trimmer, you’ll be pushed to your limits if you want to prune large and tall hedges in particular. This is when you should pick up a long-reach petrol hedge trimmer – simply a hedge trimmer with a long handle. For many people, from the first time they use a long-reach hedge trimmer, they can no longer imagine tackling garden maintenance without this power tool. The long shaft means that the hedge trimmer cutter bars can easily work on hedges that are up to 3.5 metres tall. At STIHL, you’ll find appropriate models with shorter or longer shafts for different heights of hedge. Our powerful petrol-driven power tools are very comfortable to use thanks to their incrementally adjustable cutter bar and practical loop handle. And again, you can enjoy unrestricted movement with this power tool, thanks to a lack of cables.

TIPS FOR BUYING A LONG-REACH PETROL HEDGE TRIMMER

With the right long-reach petrol hedge trimmer, it is easy to carry out cutting work on private property or in public green spaces.

When making a purchase, your decision should be based on the height and total area of the hedges to be dealt with: the longer the hedge trimmer blades, the more quickly straight hedges can be brought into shape. However, if you want to cut precise or artistic shapes, you should select a shorter bar length for precise cut guidance. The thickness of the stems is also important: if you concentrate your work primarily on the outer areas and prune hedges regularly, you will usually only be cutting back young stems, for which mid-level power is sufficient. The more hedge work you have ahead, the more powerful your petrol long-reach hedge trimmer should be. Our long-reach hedge trimmers with petrol drive include the following features as standard: a fuel-efficient STIHL 2-MIX engine, STIHL ErgoStart for comfortable starting, and double-edged cutting blades. There are also model-specific components such as the practical loop handle, which enables great manoeuvrability and easy handling, even in confined spaces. With our quick-release adjustment system, the cutter bar can be adjusted up to 145° in either direction. You can compare our power tools on our website, and easily buy your preferred petrol hedge trimmer model from the STIHL online shop.
