Overview
The HTA 160 is a powerful, professional, battery-powered pole pruner with a telescoping shaft. The HTA 160, the most powerful cordless pole pruner in the AP Battery System, is ideal for tree maintenance and fruit orchards. The telescoping shaft features a unique, square-shaft design that stays strong and rigid, so users can prune high branches up to 133 with ease and precision. Its lightweight gearbox design provides high-speed precision while pruning; and when not pruning, a foot mount support keeps the machine from resting directly on the ground. A user can control the machines speed with the variable-speed trigger, optimizing performance for the longest run time. The HTA 160s brushless motor is efficient and virtually maintenance-free. This pole pruner is also designed to seamlessly connect with Smart Connector 2 A, which allows users to take advantage of the STIHL connected platform.
