STIHL has unveiled new battery-powered equipment for land clearing, landscaping and construction projects. Starting with zero-turn mowers, the STIHL RZA 748, STIHL RZA 752 and STIHL RZA 760 offer run time, speed and commercial-grade features with quiet and exhaust emissions-free operation.
In addition to the three new battery-powered zero-turn mowers, STIHL continues to innovate across multiple battery-powered outdoor power equipment categories.
Trimmers
STIHL has debuted the most powerful battery-powered string trimmer in the STIHL line-up – the AP battery powered FSA 200. Comparable to the gas-powered FS 131, the trimmer provides 60% more power than the FSA 135. In addition, the FSA 120 and FSA 120 R trimmers are scaled to match demanding requirements, with a power-to-weight ratio of up to 40 minutes of run time. The FSA 120 R features 40% more power than the gas-powered FSA 90 R. The FSA 120 features a bike handle with adjustability and rubberized texture. On the other hand, the FSA 120 R incorporates a new loop-handle design with toolless quick release for adjustments, ergonomics and toolless barrier bar installation and removal.
Pole Pruners
The HTA 150 is the most powerful fixed-length battery pole pruner in the STIHL AP System. Offering stability when pruning, this tool offers a magnesium gearbox and hollow shaft. Its bigger brother, the HTA 160 is the most powerful telescopic battery-powered pole pruner in the STIHL line-up. Comparable performance to the trusted HT 135, the new pole-pruner offers 25% more power than its HTA 135 counterpart.
Kombi Motor
The versatile KMA 120 R battery-powered kombi motor is a multitool solution for landscaping professionals looking to trim, cut, blow, prune and more. Powered by the same scalable STIHL AP System battery, the powerhead is compatible with 14 attachments for a range of landscaping needs.
Gas-powered Mowers
STIHL also introduced gasoline-powered walk-behind mowers to the U.S. market with four models – RM 655 V, RM 655 VS, RM 655 YS and RM 756 YC. Features include:
- A mono-comfort handlebar that offers direct access to the grass catcher and folds for transport and storage
- A spring-assisted, single-point height adjustment offers seven cutting height options
- A Kohler engine with a cast iron cylinder liner provides performance with durable engineering
- The polymer grass bag and the clamshell design facilitates emptying
The RM 655 VS, RM 655 YS and RM 756 YC also feature a blade brake clutch allows operators to keep the engine running for intermittent stops such as emptying the grass catcher.
