Comparing the Stihl HL91 and HS82R Hedge Trimmers

You may be used to a traditional hedge trimmer like the Stihl HS82R, and if you’re trimming smaller hedges or topiaries, then this is a great machine for the job. But if you’ve got taller hedges that have you getting up on a ladder to trim, then you should look into the extended reach that the HL91 offers. This trimmer allows you to cut a wider arc, helping you to power through your hedge trimming faster and saving you from having to lean over your ladder at precarious angles.

    I always use both handheld and long reach giving me the best of both worlds! The HS82R is most definitely not for small detailed work, I have the HS81R still and it's a brute! Kept sharp, it gives a great finish but it's built for cutting through thick hedges, while the long reach are trimmers not cutters!

    Agree 100% also try the 82t if you haven’t got one. 30” rather then the 24 shown here. Lighter then the r,smaller tooth spacing and faster cutting speed leaves the best finish in my opinion and Iv tried a good few. looking forward to trying the new electric 94t.

    Doesn’t have quite the balance but when you are looking for one engine the Kombi is hard to beat.

    Is a kombi going to be just as good when compared to this extended hedge trimmer in the video?

    The Kombi will end up being about 15 inches longer and it messes with the balance point a little bit

    For the right width of hedge yes. This hedge would not allow the whole top to be covered from the ground. But I do like the 94k a lot too.

I Have a 94 and 131 Kombi engines with attachments and have always mainly used the handheld design so im comfortable with it but Iv seen a couple of lads on KZread doing excellent work with the 91 so I’m considering one. That’s what led me to your video. What’s the electric equivalent do you know?
