Why choose the HTA86 cordless pole pruner?
Extended reach up to 3.9 metres
With a telescopic shaft that extends from 2.7 to 3.9 metres, the Stihl HTA 86 allows you to cut branches up to approximately 5 metres high, safely from the ground. The tool-free clamping sleeve makes it fast and simple to adjust the length as needed.
Precision cutting with 12″ bar and 1/4″ PM3 chain
The hta86 is equipped with a 30 cm (12″) bar and fine 1/4″ PM3 chain, delivering clean, precise cuts through branches and thick twigs. The rigid shaft supports stable guidance for a neat finish, making it ideal for tree maintenance and orchard work.
Comfortable, fatigue-free operation
Excellent tool balance and a low tilting torque reduce strain, while the robust branch hook makes it easy to pull down loose cuttings. The ergonomic intuitive controls include a self-resetting lock switch and an ERGO lever for continuous operation without restarting.
Quiet and emission-free
The Stihl HTA86 is part of the STIHL AP battery system, meaning it operates quietly and without exhaust fumes — perfect for use in residential areas, parks, and public spaces without disturbing people nearby.
Smart, easy maintenance
The tool-free oil tank cap allows fast refills, saving time during longer pruning jobs. The durable EC motor ensures efficient power delivery and long service life with minimal maintenance demands.
Flexible battery options
Recommended for use with the AP 200 battery, the HTA 86 can also be paired with larger batteries like the AP 300 S or AR backpack options for longer sessions. For example, the AP 300 S offers up to 68 minutes of cutting time, while the AR 3000 L can extend operation up to 300 minutes.
