Product information & specifications
STIHL BTA 140 Cordless Earth Auger
The STIHL BTA 140 Cordless Earth Auger is a professional battery-powered earth auger designed for demanding users in horticulture, landscaping, forestry, agriculture and construction. Part of the STIHL AP System, this cordless auger can drill holes up to 300mm in diameter, making it suitable for fence posts, planting holes, drainage shafts and small to medium-sized foundation work.
Please note: the STIHL BTA 140 is supplied as a tool only. Battery, charger and drill bits are not included. If you do not already own a compatible STIHL AP battery and charger, these will need to be purchased separately. The BTA 140 works with existing STIHL drill accessories from 40mm to 300mm, allowing you to choose the correct auger bit for the ground conditions and hole size required.
Powered by a high-performance EC motor, the BTA 140 delivers smooth, low-vibration drilling with consistent power throughout the battery charge. With the recommended STIHL AP 300 S battery, it can drill approximately 230 holes using a 90mm auger attachment or around 150 holes using a 150mm auger attachment. UK stock is available from Gustharts with fast delivery options for professional STIHL AP System machinery.

Operating Modes
The STIHL BTA 140 has three operating modes controlled from the handle. Slow gear runs from 0-170 rpm for controlled, low-kickback drilling. Fast gear runs from 0-230 rpm for tougher ground conditions. Reverse gear runs from 0-35 rpm and helps free jammed drill bits when roots or stones cause the auger to lock.
Safety & Control Features
The STIHL QuickStop system automatically interrupts the drilling process when twisting is detected, helping protect the user and the tool if the auger becomes blocked. The large support cushion rests comfortably against the body, allowing controlled guidance, while the close-to-body drilling axis supports a balanced working position for one-person operation.
Battery Performance
With the recommended STIHL AP 300 S battery, the BTA 140 can drill approximately 230 holes using a 90mm auger attachment or around 150 holes using a 150mm auger attachment. STIHL Constant Power electronics help maintain consistent output throughout the battery charge, so performance does not noticeably drop as the battery discharges.
IPX4 Splashwater Protection Explained
The BTA 140 is IPX4 certified, which means it is designed to resist splashwater from all sides. In practical terms, this allows the cordless earth auger to be used reliably in rainy working conditions, making it suitable for daily professional outdoor use when the weather is changeable.
Why Choose the STIHL BTA 140?
The STIHL BTA 140 is a strong choice for professionals who want a quieter, lower-vibration alternative to petrol earth augers without giving up demanding site performance. Its AP System battery platform, 300mm drilling capacity, three-mode gearbox, QuickStop safety system and reverse gear make it especially useful for landscapers, fencing contractors, estate teams and construction users who need controlled drilling across varied ground conditions.
