STIHL HLA 135 BATTERY LONG REACH HEDGE TRIMMER

[@jasongardener3425]

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. 👍👍

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

😀 Thank you chap - Still got a long way to go to match your trimming skills!

[@benjaminleslie3155]

Finally, they made a battery hedge trimmer where the motor ISN'T mounted on the blades! 👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Thank you for watching 👍

[@garymckinstry910]

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.

[@tyroune2222]

Milwaukee is so much lighter, look into it., I have both, and they are great but milwaukee has fewer attachments

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

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.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

😀 It is such a great feature 👍

[@Tollbooth]

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.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

😀 Cool! The battery machines are so much nicer to use. Thank you for watching 👍

[@Tommytoolsqueezer]

How does it go with the thicker branches? I’m thinking about the petrol one for more power?

[@pdunn1871]

Great review Will look to purchase this model when needed Thanks

[@1234loci]

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!

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

[@lovegardeningplants]

We love your work. Do you have any videos on how to sharpen these types of hedgers

[@garrypepperman]

Is your preference this one , or the HSA 94T??

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

I use both machines. I prefer the 94t for lower hedges and the 135 for taller hedges and topiary. thank you for watching

[@garyclapham5482]

Macchina meravigliosa il meglio 🇮🇹

[@MrStteeeffff]

ciao sono anch io italiano. volevo sapere se lo hai acquistato e se e meglio questo o il multifunzione. ciao e grazie in anticipo

[@giardinaggiomanutenzione4275]

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.

[@MrStteeeffff]

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

[@giardinaggiomanutenzione4275]

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.

[@MrStteeeffff]

e quindi mi consigli quale macchina

[@archer135]

Will this head go on petrol units?

[@michaelgibson6793]

The AK trimmer accepts APS battery?

[@shiftysquiff5807]

What is the vibration levels? Old skool stihls killed the nerves in my hands and arms. HAVS

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

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.

[@southofheaven-gardening]

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?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Yes, absolutely 😀

[@JimmyTheMower]

[@justinpenn1148]

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?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

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 👍

[@russelldownesdownes5618]

Do you find it on the little heavy side

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

I find it comparable to the petrol version - all depends which battery you put in it

[@michaeljames7472]

Nicely presented video. Do you sharpen your own blades and if so what tools do you use? Thanks

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

I use a cordless dremel to sharpen the blades. Although a flat file works just as well. Thank you for watching 😀

[@TheOneMonk]

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?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Hi, I will definitely be making a video on how I sharpen my blades, so important to keep them clean and sharp 👍

[@TheOneMonk]

@@TheFullyChargedGardener great, thanks!

[@suemiller4897]

Any links to keeping the blades sharpened…thanks!

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

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 KZbin channel.

[@martindalelawnlandscaping6660]

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

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

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 👍

[@jackfaulkner99]

Do you know when this and the KMA 135 will be available in dealers?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Hi, They are available now 👍

[@sirvozelo1]

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.

[@paulpotter7312]

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 👍

[@jackdaniel428]

What would you choose, hla 86 or hla 135? And what is the difference between the hla 135 and the hla 135k?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

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 👍

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 ?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

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 👍

What's the purpose of having slower speeds ? Consuming less energy or producing less noise ?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

It is mainly to conserve battery. Often when trimming less dense hedges there is no need to be using full power.

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. kzbin.infoUgkx_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.
