The STIHL RGA 140 is a powerful and innovative battery-powered brushcutter engineered for professional users in landscaping and grounds maintenance. Its key feature is a reciprocating cutting blade system, which provides low-spin mowing action. This makes it exceptionally suited for removing tough weeds and grass from surfaces such as gravel, asphalt, and paved areas where flying debris is a concern. The low-spin head significantly reduces the risk of damaging nearby windows, vehicles, or other obstacles.
Being a part of STIHL’s AP battery system, the RGA 140 boasts low noise emissions, making it an excellent choice for work in noise-sensitive locations like hospitals, schools, and residential areas. Please note, this is a tool-only unit; the battery and charger are sold separately.
Ergonomic Design and Control
For comfortable operation during extended use, the RGA 140 is fitted with an ergonomic bike handle. This design supports a natural, sweeping mowing motion, reducing operator fatigue. A folding clamp allows for quick and easy adjustment to find the perfect ergonomic position. The control handle features a three-level speed adjustment, allowing the user to match the power to the task, conserving battery life when full power isn’t needed.
Professional-Grade Performance and Durability
At its core is a powerful and efficient STIHL EC motor, which is low-maintenance and provides consistent power regardless of the battery’s charge level. A fine metal mesh air filter ensures optimal engine cooling for a long service life and is easily removed for cleaning. The robust cutting blades are designed for longevity; they can be sharpened and rotated for even wear. Should they need replacing, a replacement blade kit is available. The entire tool is IPX4 certified for splash water protection, confirming its readiness for use in all weather conditions. It also features a mounting point for the STIHL Smart Connector 2 A, allowing for integration into fleet management systems.
