The STIHL HS 87 T uses a fast-moving, single-sided blade for precise trimming over larger hedge surfaces. Nominal 30- and 40-inch options provide a choice of reach. A lightweight design, vibration reduction and an efficient gas engine help support longer trimming sessions. STIHL does not offer this model for purchase or delivery in California.
