The STIHL HS 87 T is a professional-grade petrol hedge trimmer featuring a 30-inch single-sided blade, engineered for precise and efficient trimming of long, formal hedges.
The STIHL HS 87 T is a high-performance petrol hedge trimmer designed specifically for professional gardeners, landscapers, and grounds maintenance teams. It is engineered for precision, making it the ideal choice for achieving a flawless, fine finish on long and formal hedges. The single-sided 75cm (30″) blade allows for long, sweeping cuts, ensuring a perfectly level surface with every pass.
At its core is STIHL’s highly efficient 2-MIX engine, which provides ample power while reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, complying with strict EU Stage V directives. This means lower running costs and a reduced environmental impact. To ensure comfort during extended periods of use, the HS 87 T is equipped with the STIHL anti-vibration system. Buffer and spring elements significantly reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle, minimising operator fatigue and making work more pleasant.
STIHL has incorporated several features to enhance reliability and user convenience. The electronic ignition system guarantees a reliable start and smooth engine performance. For quicker and easier starting, especially after breaks in operation, a manual fuel pump (purger) is included to prime the carburettor. Refuelling is made simple with a tool-free bayonet-style cap. The HS 87 T is a robust and dependable tool, built to withstand the demands of daily professional use, as demonstrated by customers of Sims Garden Machinery over many years.
