STIHL HTA 66 Cordless Pole Saw (Shell Only)

STIHL HTA 66 Cordless Pole Saw: Precision Cutting at Height

Maintaining trees in orchards and large gardens often means working above head height, where safety, control, and accuracy are essential. The STIHL HTA 66 Cordless Pole Saw is designed to meet those challenges with ease. Part of the advanced STIHL AP System, this lightweight yet robust tool delivers the performance you would expect from a petrol STIHL pole cutter while offering the convenience and quiet efficiency of battery power. It is ideal for professionals and dedicated domestic users looking to reach branches cleanly and safely without the need for ladders.

Lightweight Design with Impressive Reach

The HTA66 STIHL tree pole saw is built around a rigid shaft measuring 240 cm in length, giving impressive reach for overhead pruning tasks. Despite its extended working height, the tool remains remarkably light at just 3.3 kg without the battery. This STIHL pole saw pole’s balanced weight distribution, including intelligent battery placement, makes it easy to handle and allows you to work comfortably for longer. With a soft-grip handle too, it’s a STIHL power pole pruner that feels both secure and manageable, allowing you to remain in control throughout your pruning sessions.

Highly Efficient EC Motor

At the heart of this STIHL cordless pole saw is a highly efficient EC motor, designed to deliver consistent output over a long service life, with minimal maintenance required. Generating a maximum power of 0.85 kW (1.1 hp), it provides the cutting strength needed for a wide range of pruning tasks. With sound pressure levels at the user’s ear of just 78 dB(A) and vibrations at only 1 m/s², this motor keeps operation comfortable and quiet, making the HTA66 the perfect STIHL tree pruner for noise-sensitive areas.

Bar and Chain Performance

The STIHL HTA 66 comes with a 25 cm (10 inch) guide bar fitted with a ¼” PM3 saw chain. This chain has been specially designed to minimise vibrations while producing precise, smooth cuts. For arborists and gardeners alike, the saw’s clean finish reduces the risk of damage to trees, helping them heal faster and remain healthy. Side-mounted chain tensioning, with a captive nut on the sprocket cover, makes adjustments simple and secure.

User-Friendly Operation

This STIHL handheld chainsaw pole pruner is extremely easy to start thanks to its intuitive controls. Releasing the lock via the safety switch allows you to activate the trigger, while the ERGO lever makes it possible to work for long stretches without needing to repeatedly restart the tool. A self-resetting locking switch prevents accidental start-ups, giving you peace of mind when handling the saw. Both left- and right-handed users will find the controls equally accessible, making this STIHL power pole saw a suitable choice for a wide range of operators.

Extra Reach with a Branch Hook

Cutting is only part of the task when pruning overhead. Removing branches from high positions can often be difficult, but the HTA 66 solves this with its integrated branch hook. Strong enough to pull down cut or loose pieces, it allows you to clear trees up to five metres tall without ladder work or climbing.

Practical Details That Matter

To keep your STIHL chainsaw pole pruner running smoothly, refilling the oil reservoir is quick and mess-free thanks to a tool-free bayonet cap. Combined with the reliable lubrication of the bar and chain, this feature ensures the pole pruner remains in peak condition during regular use. The HTA66 STIHL battery pole saw also benefits from an IPX4 rating, so you can work in damp or rainy conditions without concern.

Shell Only – Battery and Charger Required

Sold as the shell only, this STIHL cordless pole pruner requires a compatible battery and charger from STIHL’s AP System range. With the recommended AP 200 battery, you can achieve working times of up to 42 minutes. Find all AP System battery runtimes for STIHL pole trimmers here.
