STIHL FT 230 Tea Plant Pruner

The STIHL FT 230 tea plant pruner runs on a 40.2 cc petrol engine producing 1.55 kW (2 hp), fitted as standard with STIHL's WoodCut 250-64 carbide circular saw blade. STIHL describes the build as particularly robust, giving it high bending resistance and torsional strength for cutting thicker branches. A manual fuel pump eases starting, and the single-handed multi-function control sits on an ergonomic mowing handle; an ergonomic full harness attaches at two eyelets and STIHL's anti-vibration system reduces operator fatigue. STIHL designed the FT 230 for professional pruning of tea plants and shrubs after harvesting.
