Stihl HS 87 R-30 Description
The STIHL HS 87 R-30 is a professional-grade hedge trimmer specifically engineered for demanding rejuvenation cutting and extensive pruning applications. The extended 30-inch single-sided blade design offers significant advantages for professionals working on substantial hedges and woody shrubs, providing excellent reach while maintaining precise control during specialized cutting tasks.
What distinguishes this model is its purpose-built rejuvenation cutting design, indicated by the ‘R’ designation. The specialized blade configuration features an increased tooth gap specifically engineered for efficiently cutting through thicker branches and woody material. This makes the HS 87 R-30 particularly valuable when performing major hedge renovation or when tackling severely overgrown plantings that require substantial reduction.
The high-torque engine delivers exceptional cutting effectiveness while incorporating fuel-efficient technology that uses 20% less fuel than previous models. This improved efficiency translates to reduced operating costs and extended runtime between refueling stops – a significant advantage during extensive professional trimming projects.
Despite its professional capabilities, the HS 87 R-30 maintains excellent balance and handling characteristics. The lightweight, well-balanced design, weighing just 12.1 pounds, significantly reduces operator fatigue during extended use. The comprehensive anti-vibration system further enhances comfort by minimizing the transmission of engine vibrations to the operator’s hands.
Additional professional features include a protective tip guard that shields the blade when cutting near ground level or walls, a multi-function control handle that places all essential controls at the operator’s fingertips, and high-tech polymer housing components that optimize the balance between durability and weight reduction.
Note: Not available for purchase or delivery in California.
