Description

Why buy the STIHL RGA 140 9″ Cordless Brushcutter (Tool Only)?

  • Powerful cordless brushcutter for professional landscapers and groundskeepers.
  • Reciprocating cutting blades for low-spin weed removal on hard surfaces.
  • Reduces risk of damage from thrown debris around cars, windows, and obstacles.
  • Ergonomic two-hand bike handle for comfortable, sustained use.
  • IPX4 rated for reliable operation in all weather conditions.
  • Quiet EC motor is ideal for work in noise-sensitive areas.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of the RGA 140’s reciprocating head?
The reciprocating (back-and-forth) motion of the cutting blades creates a low-spin action. This significantly reduces the speed and distance that debris like stones and dirt are thrown, making it much safer to work near cars, windows, and other fragile objects compared to a traditional high-speed line trimmer or metal blade.
Is the STIHL RGA 140 suitable for use in the rain?
Yes, the RGA 140 is IPX4 certified for splash water protection. This means it is designed to be used in all weather conditions, including rain, making it a reliable tool for professional use in the unpredictable UK climate.
What batteries are compatible with the RGA 140?
The RGA 140 is compatible with all batteries in the professional STIHL AP system. For a good balance of performance and weight, the AP 300 S is often recommended. For maximum runtime during prolonged use, a backpack battery like the AR 2000 L or AR 3000 L can be used.
Who is this brushcutter designed for?
The STIHL RGA 140 is specifically designed for professional users such as landscapers, grounds maintenance crews, and local authorities. Its robust build, low-spin head, and low-noise operation make it ideal for commercial tasks, especially in public or built-up areas.
Do the blades need frequent replacing?
The blades are made from robust steel and are designed for a long life. They can be sharpened to maintain cutting performance and can also be rotated to ensure even wear across the cutting surfaces. A replacement blade kit is available to purchase when they eventually wear out.
