HT 250
A fixed-length pole pruner with lots of power for tough pruning jobs.
The HT 250 Pole Pruner combines the power of STIHL engine technology with smart design. This 7’ fixed-length pruner is equipped with a large displacement engine, providing ample power for tough pruning applications. Its gearbox is lighter, allowing for greater control and less fatigue. The HT 250 is great for forestry and arboriculture pruning, as well as nursery and orchard applications. Features of the HT 250 include the IntelliCarb™ compensating carburetor, designed to maintain an optimal fuel-to-air ratio even as the filter becomes dirty. An inside (left-hand) guide bar and chain mounting system allows for a better view of cutting. It’s the top choice for professionals who need to cut top branches.

OILOMATIC® STIHL PICCO™ Micro™ Mini 3 (PMM3)
STIHL PICCO™ Micro™ Mini 3 saw chain is a low-kickback, narrow kerf, low-profile chain ideal for smaller chainsaws. It is very smooth-cutting and features lightweight cutters that allow more power to be available for cutting. This semi-chisel chain does not usually get dull as fast as full-chisel chain in normal use and is slightly easier to maintain and sharpen. It is specifically designed for corded electric-, battery- and gasoline-powered chainsaws or pole pruners with less than 1.5kW (2.0 bhp) of power output.
Applications: The PMM3 chain is ideal for small branches and general cleanup and maintenance around the home. Professionals requiring plunge-cutting should use this chain as well.
STIHL recommends using low-kickback, green-labeled chain and green-labeled reduced-kickback bars on all powerheads.
