STIHL HTA 86 Cordless Pole Pruner | 1/4″ PM3 Cutting Attachment 30 cm
STIHL cordless pole pruner with 30 cm cutting attachment and telescopic shaft from 270 to 390 cm for tree and woodland care. With 0.85 kW output and branch hook.
Product description
The STIHL HTA 86 is intended for users who need more reach for tree and woodland care and want to cut branches on medium-height trees in a controlled way from the ground. With a 30 cm bar, 0.85 kW output and a telescopic square shaft from 270 cm to 390 cm, it is suitable for professional pruning, municipal work and demanding garden maintenance.
Common problems
For branches at medium height, more compact pole pruners or working from a ladder often reach their limits:
- Without telescopic reach, branches at medium height have to be reached awkwardly from a ladder.
- A fixed shaft offers too little flexibility for varying working heights.
- Petrol-powered machines are often unwelcome in noise-sensitive residential areas.
Solution
The STIHL HTA 86 tackles this with a telescopic shaft from 270 cm to 390 cm that can be quickly adjusted to the working height using the rotating clamping sleeve. The quiet STIHL EC motor also makes it attractive for noise-sensitive areas.
Key features
- ✅ Telescopic shaft from 270 cm to 390 cm for flexible reach
- ✅ 30 cm bar length for efficient cuts on branches and woodland
- ✅ 4.6 kg machine weight without battery for controlled telescopic work
- ✅ STIHL AP system for quiet battery operation without a petrol engine
- ✅ Branch hook for removing loose cuttings from tree canopies
- ✅ Tool-free oil tank cap and semi-transparent oil tank
Highlights
Telescopic shaft with rotating clamping sleeve
Quickly adjusts to different working heights – ideal when cutting lower and higher branches in the same tree.
Side chain tensioning
The tensioning screw is operated from the side through the sprocket cover, reducing contact with the sharp saw chain when retensioning.
Well-balanced machine
The battery’s centre of gravity lies in the shaft axis, reducing the tipping moment even with the telescopic shaft extended.
Branch hook
Makes it easier to grab and remove loose cuttings from trees at heights of up to 5 m.
STIHL EC motor
Maintenance-free, brushless and quiet in combination with the AP system – also suitable for noise-sensitive areas.
