STIHL HTA 86 Pole Pruner – Professional Power, Cordless Convenience

For professionals and discerning gardeners who need precise cutting at height, the STIHL HTA 86 Cordless Pole Pruner stands out from the crowd. This superior pruning tool combines advanced battery technology with robust engineering, ensuring you can tackle large tree maintenance with confidence. With a premium professional build and very smooth operation, it offers the balance, strength and comfort you require.

A Quiet and Reliable Motor

At the heart of the STIHL HTA86 is a high-performance EC motor, delivering 0.85 kW of efficient power while remaining very low maintenance. This engine has an extremely long service life, so you’ll be able to use the HTA86 to prune and trim consistently for many years to come. Operating at just 77 dB(A), it works quietly compared to petrol alternatives, making it ideal for use in residential or other noise-sensitive areas. With carefully engineered low vibration levels of only 1 m/s², even extended pruning sessions feel straightforward.

Clean Cutting, High Precision

The STIHL HTA 86 battery pole saw is fitted with a 30 cm (12-inch) bar and ¼” PM3 saw chain, capable of handling branches up to 12 cm thick. Each cut is clean and controlled, vital when shaping fruit trees or removing damaged wood after storms. The compact powerhead is paired with a sturdy branch hook, enabling you to lift out loose cuttings easily, reducing time spent tidying up once your pruning is done. The rigid shaft ensures complete accuracy when reaching into denser canopies, so every job has that professional touch.

Ergonomic Design for All-Day Use

One of the HTA 86 STIHL’s other main selling points is its excellent balance. The square telescopic shaft not only resists twisting and deflection but also allows for quick adjustments between 270 cm and 390 cm. This pole saw provides a maximum reach of up to 5 metres, enabling safe ground-level pruning without ladders. The ergonomic control handle suits both left- and right-handed users, with a self-resetting locking lever and ERGO switch that promote safe, continuous, controlled cutting. Weighing just 4.6 kg without the battery, this STIHL HTA 86 battery powered pole saw is light enough to use throughout long, demanding workdays.

Other Practical Features

From its intuitive start-up to tool-free oil tank cap, every feature of the STIHL HTA86 STIHL pole pruner has been designed to make it easy and efficient to use. Starting is simple: release the lock, engage the trigger, and you’re ready to cut. The quick-release telescopic mechanism means you can adapt the shaft length in seconds, ensuring you always have the correct reach. And with its IPX4 rating, this tool is suitable for use in wet weather, extending your working windows throughout the year.

Part of the STIHL AP System

As part of STIHL’s highly respected AP System of professional battery-operated tools, the HTA 86 cordless pole saw integrates seamlessly with other STIHL AP tools. This shell-only model requires a compatible battery and charger, so if you don’t already own them, you’ll need to add them to your basket.
