Stihl HT-75

[Joisey]

Does anyone know if Stihl sells (or sold at one time) a hedge trimmer head for my HT-75 pole saw? I have some trees on my new property that could use a good haircut.

Thank you very much for your reply. I will see if I can hunt down a hedge trimmer head.

Thank you for the replies. Now I have to wait until my piggy bank has more cash in it.

It will fit. It was recommended at one time, but no longer is.
If you do go ahead, extending the tube is definitely a bad idea.
Especially with the older 2 piece inner drive shaft.
Driver at engine end has a tendency to break.

I noticed that the trimmer head came with a short section of shaft (probably not the correct terminology). Can I remove that short section of shaft and the slide the hedge trimmer on my pole saw, or must the hedge trimmer be used with that short section of shaft?

Thank you for the help.

Check pricing the Kombi attachment may be cheaper than just the hedge clipper gearbox. You may also want to look at the articulating version depending on your application. Yes, you would remove the Kombi shaft and just use the gearbox.

Excellent, thank you everyone. I may look into a (lovingly) used unit, since it would get used once per year for less than an hour. Unless used prices imitate the price of new...

Articulating units are useful if you really need to cut at an angle but add significantly to price weight and complexity

And the adjuster lever snags brush.

Just the straight unit would work fine for me. Less weight hanging on the end of the unit.

bear in mind the bevel gears are about $200, and they altered the teeth at a set date
i have fitted a few copy con rods and spur gears, some are roller bearing big-end, some are bronze bush, and some plain steel
