Overview

The STIHL HS 87 R Petrol Hedge Trimmer is a heavy-duty, professional-grade single-sided hedge trimmer engineered for large-scale pruning, rejuvenation, and heavy clearing of dense bushes and overgrown hedges. Designed specifically for professional landscapers and groundskeepers, the “R” variation features a specialized gearbox with a reduced stroke rate and increased blade tooth spacing, delivering high cutting torque to slice through thicker branches effortlessly.

Powered by an fuel-efficient 22.7 cc STIHL 2-MIX engine, the HS 87 R offers high acceleration while keeping emissions and fuel consumption low. It features a long single-sided 30-inch (75 cm) cutter bar equipped with an integrated tip protector and sweeping deflector to move clippings away as you cut. Built for long operational hours, it includes the STIHL multi-point anti-vibration system, tool-free fuel caps, a long-life air filtration system, and an ergonomic multi-function handle to minimize fatigue and maximize productivity.
