The updated petrol pole pruner range from STIHL

Ideal for de-limbing tree branches, removing dead wood and general maintenance, the HT 105 and 135 long reach pole pruners replace the popular HT 103, 131 and HT 133 models, and feature a series of upgrades to improve the user experience.

Highly ergonomic and well balanced due to the weight of the square-cut telescopic shaft, the models feature a robust square telescopic drive tube with a simple length adjustment mechanism, allowing users to adjust the pole length from 270-390cm quickly and easily. In addition, both the HT 105 and 135 feature a light-weight magnesium gearbox and a rigid branch hook that is a part of the magnesium housing, offering improved usability and product longevity.

Both models utilise a powerful, high torque 4-MIX engine, which not only offers excellent power-to-weight ratio, but also delivers a power output of 1.05kW (HT 105) and 1.4kW (HT 135) respectively.

Other features include lateral shaving ejection technology to prevent clogging and user downtime, a gearbox that boasts a marker line for a more accurate operation, as well as a foot stand to protect the engine housing from ground contact. Both models are compatible with the STIHL RTS harness for further comfort.
