Wow 4000 strokes per minute is very quick, looks interesting machine, that was very steady handed trimming of the box, showed real skill. Great video and shots. 👍👍
Stihl absolutely nailed it with the look (AND the new features!) of the new pro battery line. They eventually learned to design a hot machine lol! I always envied Husqvarna for their design being a Stihl user but hey Stihl is coming up fast!
I was looking for something g a bit lighter..i use a combi system but when your up a ladder and reaching as far as you can in front of you to get across the too of a hedge it really takes its toll on you. Plus if your at hedges all day you'd need a few batteries a day.
Great video mate. The 3 speeds for me are great where you can adjust for different species. Back in the petrol days trying to keep the trigger at the same speed wasnt easy.
That's a nice trimmer. I just bought the gas powered HL 94 a few weeks ago. When the HLA 135 comes to Canada, I'll probably get one of those also. Thanks for all the good equipment reviews.
Αnother great video,thank you. I prefer the HLA 85 (more extension-lighter) from the HLA 135 Unfortunately all 135 series is much heavier than the corresponding pro battery series.
next time try with AP500. I have the 135 but in the other format for i use it in more heavier stuff. I have 3 AP300S batteries and one AP500S it is not very very much but yes it last little longer.
Thank you for the video. Out of interest have you used both the longer version and K shorter version? Wondering what is better more practice day to day?
This is the only version I have used. I guess it all comes down to personal preference and your trimming style as to which machine to choose. Thank you for watching 👍
The machine does have a shaft to drive the cutter head, so there is slightly more vibration than say the HLA 66. but because there is no two stroke engine, the vibration is far less.
Ciao io ho il modello precedente quello che si infila da sotto la batteria, il multifunzione non so dirti mai provato, la cosa importante è scegliere una batteria che ne bilanci il peso al momento dell'acquisto, vanno benissimo e sono piacevolissimi da manovrare.
approfitto ancora una volta della tua cortesia . mi sono iscritto al tuo canale e volevo chiederti se e meglio la stihl o l husqvarna e poi visto che gli attrezzi che ho ora un multifunzione della oleomac può essere sostituito da uno stihl o husqvarna visto che mi devono stare in una monovolumi oppure se e meglio attrezzi specifici. grazie ancora
Anche la Husqvarna fa bei tagliasiepi a batteria ma io preferisco Stihl perché effettua severi collaudi sulle loro macchine, comunque il mio tagliasiepi ha la lama pieghevole e sta benissimo in macchina ho una fiat idea, il mio consiglio è quello di non prendere quelli troppo lunghi sono pesanti a meno che non ci sia necessità.
Your videos are very well presented, informative. I have a HLA 56 for private use but my cherry laurel’s branches are getting thicker and thicker over the years so I might need to upgrade. Quick question: how do you sharpen the blades? Perhaps you can make a video on this?
stihl have come up with the goods with this one 👍 one tiny niggle is I like to use my long reach on box etc so I tip guard would have been good.cheers.
Great video. I have the petrol km 131 combi petrol engine and hedge cutter attachment. Would this be heavier then that. Also it would this battery unit be very similar to using stihl new battery combi engine and hedge cutter attachment
As far as I know - This unit has the same performance as the KMA 135 with a hedge trimmer attachment. The ultimate weight of the unit will depend on the battery you use. But one thing that definitely stands out over the petrol unit - The lack of fumes, less vibration - less noise. The battery machines are an absolute pleasure to use. Thank you for watching 👍
the stihl hedge trimmers are way to heavy and vibrate like crazy. i have one and i ended up doing some research and the best one i've found is the ryobi telesopic one. zero vibration and i can hold it up all day. i usually wouldn't buy ryobi but sometimes...
@@TheFullyChargedGardener that's too bad. I want to move to battery and trying to find a reason to stay with stihl. Just don't know how safe it is with the power cord on my waste on a ladder.
Hello mate been taking in your expert knowledge , brilliant vids shocking ozzy accent! Run time is a no brainer , what I’d like to ask is the battery kombi head unit , what is the speed of the hedge cutting blades , compared to the hedger in this vid ? For me I think it will more cost effective to go the kombi head route , just not if the cutting speed or run time is less ?
As far as I am aware, the cutter speed and battery runtime would be the same. The KMA would definitely be a cost effective option - a great selection of attachments in the Kombi range. 🤣 I definitely need to work on that Aussie accent. Thank you for watching 👍
Bonjour je voudrais investir dans un taille haie a perche je suis pas un pro mais fait un peut de jardin pour des particulier et de la taille de temps en temps j'hésite entre le hla 66 qui et un peut moins cher que le hla 135 mais se que je veux surtout c une autonomie assez longue je suppose que sur le hla 135 on peut utiliser une batterie ap 500 s pour une autonomie bien plus longue non et peut on l'utiliser sur le hla 66 aussi si vous pouvez me dirigée sur le quelle choisir ou me dire sur le quelle vous irez en sachant que je ne suis pas un pro merci
@@TheFullyChargedGardener of course, but they are very similar in the length, i want a trimmer, which i can trim bushes, just normal hedges and so on, like the one that you trim in the start of the video
Sharpening the blades is very easy - can either be done with a flat file or a small grinder - I will try and make a video soon. Stihl GB have a video on sharpening over on their TH-cam channel.
Brilliant video mate ! Came across great and the product looks brilliant! Love the battery gear at the moment, I would have one of every brand if I could 🙌🏽 Look forward to the next one dude 💪🏽
I've used an electric B & D trimmer for years. It's been a workhorse but I no longer am, and wanted to make my job easier. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG Around the corners, the small side yard etc. was a pain to run the cord out to, so I bought this thinking I'd use it for touch-ups and hard to reach places. Well, I haven't used the corded one since!This is so light weight and so much easier. It has all the power I need because I start wearing down after about 20 minutes and I haven't run out of battery yet. It takes about two hours to charge. I've used it about twice a week for a month and still have line left too. My favorite feature is the blade inside the shield that keeps the line trim to where I don't even have to think about it. You can see from my pic that it's been heavily used and I probably should clean it more often. Very happy with it.
Hi, The HLA 135 K is a short shaft version of the HLA 135. The HLA 86 is a telescopic trimmer so would give you a longer reach for taller/wider hedges,. The HLA 135 has a higher cutter speed. I guess it would all depend on the hedge I was cutting as to which machine I would choose. Thank you for watching 👍
@@TheFullyChargedGardener If you made a starterkit for a lawn company, would you put the HLA 86 or the HLA 135 in the starter kit? And if you should make a starterkit out of any Stihl hedgetrimmers (handheld, pole and so on), then what would your starterkit have in it?

any differences in this machine and the KMA 135r with the hedge cutter attachment? run speed for example/
Lovely chilled delivery pal 👍

Great review Will look to purchase this model when needed Thanks
Αnother great video,thank you.
I prefer the HLA 85 (more extension-lighter) from the HLA 135
Unfortunately all 135 series is much heavier than the corresponding pro battery series.
Brilliant, trading in my HSA 66 toward this
😀 Cool.

Is your preference this one , or the HSA 94T??
I use both machines. I prefer the 94t for lower hedges and the 135 for taller hedges and topiary.
thank you for watching
Really enjoying these Videos man , subscribed today 😎
😀 Thank you 👍
What is the vibration levels? Old skool stihls killed the nerves in my hands and arms. HAVS
The machine does have a shaft to drive the cutter head, so there is slightly more vibration than say the HLA 66. but because there is no two stroke engine, the vibration is far less.
We love your work. Do you have any videos on how to sharpen these types of hedgers

@@TheFullyChargedGardener great, thanks!
I have several meters of pyracanthus to cut, which also have thick branches. Do you think this particular machine will be able to do it?
Yes, absolutely 😀

The AK trimmer accepts APS battery?
Top video. Great hedge trimmer
Will this head go on petrol units?
Nicely presented video.
Do you sharpen your own blades and if so what tools do you use? Thanks
I use a cordless dremel to sharpen the blades. Although a flat file works just as well. Thank you for watching 😀
do you prefer this one or HLA 86?? which are the main differences?? what is the best one in your opinion?? thank you very much!!
Hi, I can put together a quick video highlighting the differences - if that would be helpful?
Thank you for watching 👍
@@TheFullyChargedGardener it would be wonderful!! Thanks indeed
@@TheFullyChargedGardener yes please!
@@TheFullyChargedGardener yes please
Which is longer HLA 86 or HLA 135 ?
What's the purpose of having slower speeds ? Consuming less energy or producing less noise ?
It is mainly to conserve battery. Often when trimming less dense hedges there is no need to be using full power.
How high of a hedge can this reach?
Great video. I have the petrol km 131 combi petrol engine and hedge cutter attachment. Would this be heavier then that. Also it would this battery unit be very similar to using stihl new battery combi engine and hedge cutter attachment

Ryobi lol?
Do you know if Stihl will be coming out with a 94t version that has a battery insert instead of the cord?
Unfortunately I don’t - but that would be awesome!
@@TheFullyChargedGardener that's too bad. I want to move to battery and trying to find a reason to stay with stihl. Just don't know how safe it is with the power cord on my waste on a ladder.

Do you know when this and the KMA 135 will be available in dealers?
Hi, They are available now 👍
Do you find it on the little heavy side
I find it comparable to the petrol version - all depends which battery you put in it
The HLA135 Vs the HLA66? Which is better?
It all depends on what your are going to be using the machine for
@@TheFullyChargedGardener of course, but they are very similar in the length, i want a trimmer, which i can trim bushes, just normal hedges and so on, like the one that you trim in the start of the video

@@TheFullyChargedGardener do you think the extra weight from the HLA135 is something you feel, compared to the HLA66
can the battery for the hla 135 be charged on the al 101 charger
Yes - It will charge AP batteries, but it will be slower than the bigger chargers 👍
Any links to keeping the blades sharpened…thanks!

£540 RRP in the UK - The price is clearly listed on the Stihl GB website.
show me it cutting thick branches
Full review is on its way 👍
Trance music? In this day and age......
Thank you for watching
It’s a shame it’s heavier than it’s petrol equivalent.
All depends which battery you use.
The bigger the battery, the heavier it is.
This is true, as there are more cells within the battery.
I’ve had one on order for months, dealer telling me no idea when/if I can get one…..
What would you choose, hla 86 or hla 135? And what is the difference between the hla 135 and the hla 135k?
Hi, The HLA 135 K is a short shaft version of the HLA 135.
The HLA 86 is a telescopic trimmer so would give you a longer reach for taller/wider hedges,. The HLA 135 has a higher cutter speed.
I guess it would all depend on the hedge I was cutting as to which machine I would choose.
