STIHL HT 135 Gas Telescopic Pole Pruner – 36.3cc 4-MIX, 270–390 cm

The STIHL HT 135 is the most powerful gas pole pruner in the STIHL lineup, built for professional tree care, orchards and municipal work. It handles pruning, dead wood removal, storm cleanup and fruit tree maintenance.

4-MIX power

The 36.3cc 4-MIX engine produces 1.4 kW (1.9 bhp). An IntelliCarb compensating carburetor maintains the correct engine RPM as the air filter loads up, and the vertical pleated paper air filter extends service intervals.

Rigid telescopic shaft

The particularly rigid shaft adjusts quickly for exact positioning, with a total length of 270–390 cm. A quick-adjust clamp nut with a no-slip grip makes changes easy.

Easy starting and control

A purge pump, semi-automatic choke lever and one-touch stop button simplify starting and shutdown. The multi-function control handle and anti-vibration system reduce fatigue, and a lightweight magnesium gearbox with branch hook and outboard bar mounting allows flush cuts.
