THE BRAND NEW STIHL HSA 100 HEDGE TRIMMER | HEDGER.

THE BRAND NEW STIHL HSA 100 HEDGETRIMMER/HEDGER
This summer I was fortunate enough to get an early look at the HSA 100 hedge trimmer. The hedge trimmer will be for sale through your local dealer in 2023.
I hope you enjoy this first look at this new Hedge trimmer from STIHL.

Always a enjoyable watch. Stihl definitely know how to make what professional gardeners need 👍

Yes a grease port well done Stihl 👌 another top piece of kit 👍

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

It has some nice changes compared to the HSA 86. Metal gearbox housing and as you say, the grease port. The safety switch is on the inside of the loop handle.. and of course. THE TWISTY HANDLE!! 😀 Thank you for watching 👍

Very Professional content and one can see that you love what you do. I like the part from 4.30, you move along the hedge like one of those KUKA production robots. 😂 And great trimmer anyway, the moveable handle made my decision for this one instead of the hsa66. Keep trimming and all the best to you from Germany. 👍

This is going on my shopping list when it gets to New Zealand. At the moment I have to run the trimmer attachment on KMA 130 or 135. Gets a little interesting to manoeuvre on smaller hedges.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

It will make a great addition to your tool kit. Very cool that you are watching all the way from NZ. Are you in North or South Island?

[@MomentumNZMotoVlogs]

@@TheFullyChargedGardener I am in Hamilton. It's in the north island. About 1 and 1/2 hours south of Auckland. I started a full battery powered lawn mowing business in Feb this year. I use all stihl products as they seem to have the best back up for battery equipment where I am.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

I have never been to the North Island - Have been to the South Island a couple of times. NZ is Bootiful!! Battery kit is an absolute game changer! 😀

[@MomentumNZMotoVlogs]

@@TheFullyChargedGardener I never even considered going gas. There is a big outlay at the start. But it makes up for itself. Only cost me $3 a week to charge all 9 of my ap300s battery each night. I don't have to worry about oil, Spark plugs, air filters. No gas cans and pre mix in my van.

[@MomentumNZMotoVlogs]

​@@TheFullyChargedGardenerI got around to picking up an HSA 100 last week. Got some jobs coming up that it will be very useful for.

[@daveevans5368]

After watching your previous video advertising the HSA 94 R I ordered one, £430 Must have been a year ago! Yesterday it eventually arrived I was so happy 😊 I've found using it with the umbilical cord a bit of a nightmare especially using it with my henchman ladders. Yesterday you put a new hedge trimmer on your channel 🤣🤣🤣 and now I wish I'd waited for that one. Probably will be another year before that one arrives 🙄😡

[@stevelanghorn1407]

By way of consolation (!), I'm sure you've not wasted your money, despite the slightly irritating cable. I've felt the quality of the HSA 94 and that machine is definitely built to last and deal with tougher stuff than this new 100 model. Some reviews have said the 94 is the best hedge trimmer ever built...period. But then it all depends on personal requirements. This one is basically an improved replacement to the HSA 86 (that I've almost worn out despite fussy maintenance). The 86 is rather plasticky and designed for lighter jobs, but it's been a great, handy machine & no doubt this 100 will be much better, but it'll still be aimed at a similar work-level.

[@ollieforevergardening281]

Just wish they would produce a hedge trimmer with the performance of the hsa 94t with less weight, its still to heavy . Great informative videos .

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

[@SuperGarden78]

I've used the Pellenc, Stihl 94R and now the Husky 520ihd60. I feel the Husky is is on par with the the Stihl 94R, but I would run the Husky with the belt setup, but choosing again in the shop I would go for the Stihl. Pellenc is in a other league it's much more nimble in the hands, but the backpack I had was to heavy, I didn't need power for several days.

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Have you tried the 94T? It’s frikin awesome!!

[@tyroune2222]

Looking forward to replacing to my Milwaukee hedge trimmer with this model. I'm Also running a HSA94T but only use it for fine cutting.

Looks good, I'm a Tree arb has well jet washing driveways, but I do hedge maintence ( not has much use to ) I own the Msa top handle chain saw and a Makita one. I can see in the next 5 years a lot of the hand tools will be battery . This is something I might be interested in has I would rather have the battery in the unit then out side.

[@stevesgardening]

Heeey, finally a successor to the aging Stihl HSA86! The ergonomics with the rotating handle is much better, isn't it? how is the number of strokes per minute compared to the HSA86? According to my taste, it could run a little faster, especially with Thuja. Great video! Greetings Steven

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Hi Steven, definitely some nice updates over the HSA86. The strokes per min are the same as the 86 - it seems the machine is geared for torque over speed. Thank you for watching

[@goldistocks609]

There is a newer version HSA 100.1 without the thumb lock-out lever, but it’s not yet available in the US.

[@ArnodJ]

Rather have a husqvarna, far stronger but a little bit more weight. I'm happy to see that stihl finally adapted a twisting handle. My employer works with stihl but when I work for myself in private time I love my husqvarna tools, far stronger and ergonomic! ✌🏻

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey it looks nice How’s it still holding up ? I need something with torque which can handle thick sticks . Nice video

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

I returned the machine to stihl after making this video. I did test it on some quite thick laurel branches whilst I had it and it handled them really well. stihl have a good balance of torque and cutter speed with this unit.

[@mattseymour8637]

​@@TheFullyChargedGardenerWhy did you return it back to Stihl after this video?

[@ACERRUBRUM31]

I thought English gardeners used only professional hand shears, trimming the evergreens rapidly? My uncle a horticulturist taught me how to shear by hand, I remember distinctly “ keep the shears moving! Don’t stop!”

[@joshuabush2569]

So Is it single speed? Does it have a variable speed trigger? 3,000 strokes per minute seems on the low side but I'm guessing with the wide blade gap and high torque motor it's probably geared more towards the thick stuff? Seemed to cut the Buxus nice mind 👍🏻

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

It has a variable speed trigger, so acts just like a petrol machine. It is definitely geared up for a balance or torque and speed. It did a great job on the Buxus. Thank you for watching.

[@fritzfuchs2081]

Do you prefere the hsa94r or the hsa100 ? And which one has more torque ? Thanks for the vid 👍🏻

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

I personally prefer the 94T - I have not used the 94R. I would assume that the 94R has slightly more torque that the HSA 100? But from what I experienced when using the 100 it is a very capable machine, as I hope you could see from the shots in the video. Thank you for watching 👍

[@CA34562]

Thanks for the video, can’t wait to get one. Does this also have a stroke rate of 5000? Is this just like my HSA94T but without the tether?

[@janwoelker]

No, 3000. So it's more like the 94R

[@CA34562]

@@janwoelker oh that’s lame. I guess I’ll give this one a miss. Dam, I really wanted to finally get rid of the backpack battery.

This unit has a stroke rate of 3000. It is geared more for torque rather than speed. Much in the same way the 94R is.

[@MrDusant]

Hi everybody! Can anyone confirm does it have variable speed trigger or it runs at fixed 3000 strokes per minute? I have hsa 86 and it does have variable speed, but I'm not sure about this one

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

It is a variable speed trigger.

[@MrDusant]

@@TheFullyChargedGardener Thanks for the reply! Friend of mine got HSA 100 and it works only at fixed speed, so either his machine is faulty or Stihl released some units without variable speed... Not sure..

[@dogsbod2]

My HSA100 is a fixed speed. I still prefer the HSA86 with variable speed, batteries last much longer and it’s lighter. HSA100 has much lower vibes though.

I’m not sure when this unit will be available in Canada. Best to ask your local dealer when it will be launched in your area. Thank you for watching.

[@falfield]

Nice attention to detail with the box hedge - kudos. But all you showed was fine finishing work - no cutting deep into a neglected hedge. If the machhine's constantly reversing because it's not up to cutting the material between the jaws, then it maybe won't damage the motor...good!...but it won't get the work done either....bad! So why not show more taxing jobs?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

I did show it cutting some long thick laurel. I make these videos in my own time - fitting in around work and family life. Sometimes it is not possible to cover every scenario, with every machine. Thank you for watching

Short hedge trimmers are no good. I use mine a couple times a year. I use the hla66 on everything 2.1 or 2.3m machine cant remember exactly. Much better and fast. Stand up straight. Cut all the straps off and move the rubber handle all the way forward.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that short hedge trimmers are no good. I guess it all comes down to personal preference. The long reach trimmers are definitely very versatile 😀 Thank you for watching 👍

[@Dan-rg7jj]

@@TheFullyChargedGardener They are good against walls ect where you can't get a hla6x, some shaping of trick maniquered foliage, or one your knees to cut back something really thick and stubborn to ground level. All of which I have managed with a HLA. For long knee height hedges it's all about speed and fatigue. I don't think this would be quicker. Not for a beginner who's not strong and has to bend. I mean personally I could probably do it just as good if I got my hands on this vs the HLAs. All day would be hard. Maybe I'll buy one (the short one I've got isn't very good and not stihl but i dont really use it) and test the difference. I suspect it would be night and day.

[@stevelanghorn1407]

The new ECHO dhc 2800r / 2200r battery hedge trimmer is a better machine than this. Not cheap, but it feels more solid & less “plasticky” than the STIHL. And the ECHO’s twisty handle system is also far better. Why STIHL didn’t make a more professional-grade tool with a similar handle to their (petrol) HS 82 model seems strange. I realise they have their own “pro” battery machines, but they have a slightly annoying cable connection. The new ECHO is impressive.
