Stihl HT-KM – Pole pruner attachment

Stop risking your safety on unstable ladders and transform your KombiSystem into a precision forestry tool with the STIHL HT-KM Pole Pruner. This isn’t a generic “saw on a stick”; it is a professional-grade, lightweight magnesium-cased attachment designed for surgical limb removal in tight canopies. Featuring a 12″ bar and the low-vibration 1/4″ Picco Micro 3 chain, the HT-KM delivers a “smooth-bore” cut that promotes faster tree healing compared to standard rough-cutting saws. Whether you are managing fruit orchards or clearing storm damage, its compact 126 cm profile provides the perfect balance of leverage and reach, allowing you to slice through 6-inch limbs with the same finesse as a handheld chainsaw.

• Integrated “Branch Hook” Magnesium Housing: Unlike plastic alternatives, the HT-KM features a cast-magnesium gearbox with a built-in metal hook. This allows you to pull down loose, “hung-up” cuttings from the canopy without having to climb or reach by hand.

• Precision “Sight-Line” Alignment Guide: Embossed directly into the gearbox housing is a permanent alignment marker. This allows for pinpoint accuracy during undercut and top-cut maneuvers, ensuring clean, professional pruning every time.

• Side-Access Captive Tensioning: The chain tensioner is located on the side of the unit, away from the cutting face. It is designed to stay adjusted even during heavy vibration, and the bar nut is “captive,” meaning it won’t fall off in long grass during field adjustments.

• Oil Tank Retainer System: No more lost caps. The oil tank cap is tethered internally, ensuring that during rapid refills in the field, your equipment stays together and free of debris.

• Carbon-Fiber Extension Compatibility: Uniquely engineered to work with STIHL’s 1-metre carbon-fiber extensions, allowing you to extend your reach to 4+ metres while maintaining a weight-balance that doesn’t strain the operator’s back.

• Vibration-Dampened Pitch: Utilizes the specific 1/4″ P – PM3 saw chain, which is engineered to reduce “kick-back” and chatter, providing a smoother experience when cutting at full extension.
