The STIHL HTA 86 is a battery-powered telescopic pole pruner engineered for professionals and serious gardeners who need reliable reach and low-maintenance performance. Powered by the 36 V STIHL AP System and delivering 0.85 kW through a brushless EC motor, the HTA 86 extends from 270 cm to 390 cm — putting branches up to approximately 5 m safely within reach from ground level. The 30 cm bar and ¼" PM3 low-vibration chain handles branches up to approximately 15 cm in diameter with clean, quiet cuts. In stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with fast UK delivery.
Key Features
- 0.85 kW Brushless EC Motor – Stable power delivery and up to 42 minutes runtime with an AP 200 battery.
- Telescopic Reach: 270–390 cm – Safe access to branches up to approximately 5 m high from ground level.
- Lightweight at 4.6 kg – Tool-only weight with smart battery positioning to minimise tilt torque and fatigue.
- 30 cm Bar with ¼" PM3 Chain – Low-vibration cutting with clean results on branches up to approximately 15 cm diameter.
- Branch Hook – Helps clear cut branches efficiently from the work area.
- IPX4 Weather Resistance – Splash-proof for reliable use in variable UK weather.
- Self-Resetting Locking Switch & Ergo-Lever – Safe one-handed use; compatible with left- and right-handed operators.
- Tool-Free Maintenance – Side-access chain tensioner and semi-transparent oil cap for easy on-site servicing.
Technical Specifications
Why Choose the STIHL HTA 86?
The HTA 86 sits in the mid-range of the STIHL AP pole pruner family — more reach and power than the HTA 66, without the weight and price of the HTA 135 or HTA 150. It is a strong match for groundsmen, landscape contractors, and estate managers who need to tackle high pruning regularly but don’t require the maximum output of the larger models. The telescopic shaft from 270–390 cm gives meaningful flexibility for different tree heights on the same site, and the 42-minute runtime on an AP 200 covers most pruning sessions without needing a battery swap.
Complete Your Kit
- Replacement Chainsaw Chains – ¼" PM3 chains compatible with the HTA 86
- AP System Batteries & Chargers – AP 200 included in some sets; AP 300 S for extended runtime
- Chainsaw PPE – helmet, gloves and chainsaw trousers for ground pruning work
- Chain Sharpening Tools – keep your PM3 chain cutting cleanly between replacements
FAQs
What is the difference between the HTA 86 and the HTA 66?
Both use the 36 V AP System at 0.85 kW output, but the HTA 86 has a telescopic shaft (270–390 cm) whereas the HTA 66 is fixed at 240 cm. The HTA 86 gives greater reach flexibility for varying tree heights.
Does the HTA 86 come with a battery and charger?
It depends on the variant. Check the product listing — some versions include an AP 200 battery and charger as a set. Body-only versions are also available.
How high can I reach with the HTA 86?
At full extension of 390 cm, plus average operator reach, the HTA 86 can access branches at approximately 5 m from ground level without a ladder.
What chain does the HTA 86 use?
The HTA 86 uses a 30 cm bar with ¼" PM3 low-vibration chain. Replacement chains are available at Gustharts.
Is the HTA 86 suitable for homeowners?
Yes — it is well suited to serious homeowners and small-scale professionals. For very light occasional pruning, the HTA 66 is a lighter and more compact option.
