STIHL hla86, long reach battery hedge trimmer

Review of the STIHL hla86,long reach battery hedge trimmer.
I did this review for Stihl, but i am not paid or sponsored by Stihl and the machine was returned to Stihl

The STIHL hla86, is a professional cordless hedge trimmer, which is telescopic, so from 260cm to 330cm in length and 180cm when folded for transport.
At 4.8kg in weight, without battery, it runs on the AP batteries, run times are approximate, AP100 up to 72 mins, AP200 up to 144 mins, AP300 up to 180 mins.
I had and ran the machine for around 6 weeks, it performed very well. What ever I was trimming/cutting, I found it a very capable machine. The ability to extend it was easy (telescopic) which made trimming and cutting of tall hedges much quicker. I also found that it easily cut through 18 months of growth. Being battery, the low noise and vibration made it a pleasure to use.
Thank you for watching
