The Cycling Gardeners of Edinburgh | STIHL Battery Powered Garden Tools | STIHL GB
The Cycling Gardeners are a team of professional gardeners based in Edinburgh who offer their services across the city, but with a unique twist: they travel to their clients exclusively by cargo bikes. This environmentally friendly approach not only reduces their carbon footprint but also promotes sustainable urban living.
The idea for the Cycling Gardeners came from dealing with the challenges of moving around Edinburgh in vans. As a bustling capital city, the traffic in Edinburgh meant that staff were often sitting in traffic in their vans for longer than they actually spent working. So, they decided to swap vans for bikes!
Since the swap, the Cycling Gardeners have been able to work much more efficiently, without wasting time navigating traffic or finding parking spaces.
The Cycling Gardeners team only use battery-powered tools now too. In the heavily populated city of Edinburgh, using battery tools means they can get the job done, but without disturbing anyone around them, thanks to the quieter operation. The tools are also lighter, with less vibrations and no emissions during use.
By switching to cargo bikes and STIHL cordless tools, and installing solar panels in their yard, the Cycling Gardeners have also managed to keep their energy costs extremely low. Last year, their electricity costs were just £200!
To find out more about the Cycling Gardeners, you can visit their website.

Any plans to bring out a roller for the AP range? As a professional gardener using the 443 vc (which is great, just missing a roller) see you’ve upgraded it to a roller but it’s for the AK range?!
Hi there, we are always looking to develop new products, but currently we don't make an AP battery-powered rear roller mower. Many thanks, STIHL GB

we have had really positive feedback for Calum and his cycling gardeners crew. they do an amazing job and the products they use (Stihl) are second to none.

Innovators! yes guys 🌷🌷🌷
Absolutely! Such an exciting approach to doing things differently!
With a bit more effort, STIHL could have designed the holster for left-handed people.

Hi, thank you for your message. You can find the Recommended Retail Price in Great Britain for all of our petrol lawn mowers here: www.stihl.co.uk/en/c/lawn-mowers-97983?facets=drive%3APetrol We would recommend speaking to your nearest STIHL Approved Dealer for more information. Thanks, STIHL GB

this chainsaw made u look small
Can you cut horizontally officially?
Hi, thanks for your comment. Yes, as described in the video a horizontal cut is safely achievable with this machine. We recommend that you read the Instruction manual before starting work to cover other aspects such as the reactive forces. The most important considerations with this cut is that the kick back areas of the blade, and side loading is avoided. Thanks, STIHL GB

Just got my FS40 out the shed after a few years and primed it with the little bubble thing and it started straight away 👍🏼
Glad to hear it! Enjoy using it!
Just got mine back from the shop having new cam connecting rods after very little work, the tip protector is an absolute nightmare, had a lot of problems with Stihl ap series machines , they aren't built for constant heavy use.
Hi, thank you for your comment and sorry to hear about the issues you have had. We do understand the feedback about the tip protector, and we'd like to help resolve the issue. Please could you email technical@stihl.co.uk and let them know about the tip protector problem, as well as any other feedback you have about the HSA 100 and they can look into it for you.

I need mounting locations for a BGA 86 Blower and MSA 220C Chainsaw. Thank you.
Hi there, thank you for your comment. As you set up the machine in the connected App it will tell you where to position the device on the tool. On the MSA 220 it goes on the opposite side of the casing to the guide bar, on the side of the battery compartment. On the BGA 86, it goes above the 'BGA 86' badge on the grey part of the casing, just in front of the handle. We hope this helps, many thanks, STIHL GB

Our head is stuck cannot get it off the one for weeds tried grips top and bottom but will not turn greased it still won’t come off any ideas before we take to dealer 🙄
Thanks for your comment. I think you've tried all of the obvious solutions, so I'm afraid I think taking it back to your nearest STIHL Approved Dealer is the best option at this stage. Thanks, STIHL GB
One line continues going back in. The grommet fell out and now is lost. My friend has the same FSA 57 and he can use heavier stilhl line. Did this model come with two head options? So frustrated.
Hi, thanks for your comment. If your friend has had the FSA 57 for a while, it's possible they may have the old version of the head, which uses 2.0mm line. The new version of the head only takes 1.6mm line, I'm afraid. However, if it doesn't seem to be working properly, we would recommend taking it back to a STIHL Approved Dealer and they can take a look at it for you. Thanks, STIHL GB
Thank you
Just bought a new FS40 with this head. Loaded it no problem but it breaks the line continuously every 2-3 mins. The ends then disappear back into the head, really frustrating. In case it was old brittle line I bought new line, no difference.
Thanks for your comment and I'm sorry to hear about this. We always recommend soaking the line in water for 24 hours before first use as that will help soften the line, make it less brittle and last for longer. Thanks, STIHL GB
Is this avelebal in india
Thanks for your comment. As STIHL Great Britain, I'm afraid we don't know availability in India. If you contact STIHL India, they will be able to help you. You can find their contact details here: www.stihl.in/en/service-events/contact Thanks, STIHL GB
When is the BGA 250 going to be released?
Thanks for your comment. It's due to be available in Great Britain in autumn. Thanks, STIHL GB
Fast return speed on blades 👍
you did not put the white cover back on
Thanks for your comment. The white cover is mainly to stop the line unravelling before it gets used - it's not actually necessary once the spool is on the tool, and it works just as fine without it on, which is why we say it can be discarded in the video. I hope that helps, thanks, STIHL GB
thanks for the close up showing both the depth gauge and the cutting blade. Did not understand the difference between the two until you illustrated it
Cool😃
Mine broke down before two months and it didn't work half the days because of the rain. It's been another month and it's still broken. The after-sales service is a disaster. The company does not provide replacement. Absolutely regret buying it.
Thank you for your comment and I'm sorry to hear about the issues you have been experiencing. Have you spoken to our Customer Services team at all? You can adjust the rain sensors so that it will still mow in the rain, although we wouldn't recommend having it mowing the lawn if it is really heavy rain or the lawn is sodden. Thanks, STIHL GB
How do I remove the head if there is no orange part to lock mechanism so that I can unscrew the head without going back to the dealer?
Thanks for your comment. Do you have the AutoCut 3-2 mowing head on your grass trimmer? If so, it should have the orange fan wheel on it. If not, then you may have a different mowing head - which grass trimmer model do you have? Thanks, STIHL GB
@@STIHLGB Thanks for the reply. I have a FSA57 but it has an AutoCut 2-2. How can I change this mowing head.
@@johnmuscedere5767 thank you for your comment. I think you might have an FSA 56 rather than an FSA 57 (the FSA 56 was the predecessor to the 57 and came with an AutoCut 2-2 head as standard). There are some instructions in this video here showing you how to change the line spool in the AutoCut 2-2. Does this help at all? Thanks, STIHL GB
@@STIHLGB Hello. No, I definitely have a FSA57 with a Auto-cut 2-2. I verified this in the instruction manual. I just would like to replace the Auto-cut 2-2 since it is damaged. There is no mention of this in the instruction manual. I have no trouble spooling the line. Thanks.
@@johnmuscedere5767 are you based in Great Britain? We definitely don't sell the FSA 57 with the AutoCut 2-2 here in GB, so unfortunately we don't have any video instructions for it. If it's not clear in the instruction manual, and you don't want to take it back to a dealer, then we would suggest you contact STIHL Customer Services and they may be able to provide some additional support. If you are based in Great Britain, then you can do that by emailing enquiries@stihl.co.uk, but if you are based outside of GB, then you can find contact details for the other STIHL subsidiaries around the world here: corporate.stihl.com/en/footer/contact/distribution-worldwide Thanks, STIHL GB
My spool keeps fusing/sticking together so it can't feed out. I keep having to open it, pull on the spool till it unfuses, then put everything back together. Really limiting my progress. Any tips?
Thanks for your comment. One thing to try would be to re-wind the spool less tightly, even if it means making the length of line shorter to accommodate this. I hope this helps, thanks, STIHL GB
They in stock or you messing about with the lead times on these like the new mowers for 2024? So far I’ve been told end of June now it’s end of July! How exactly?
Hi, thanks for your comment. The tool only versions have just arrived in our Distribution Centre, so they will start to be sent to our dealer network later this week. Thanks, STIHL GB
@@STIHLGB so the STHL RM 453.3 PV. Will be in the uk this week? Why is my supplier saying end of July??? Do you guys actually know what you’re doing?
@@user-fv8rn4gi3x sorry, but I assumed you were talking about the ASA 20 in the video. Your STIHL dealer is correct - the RMA 453.3 PV is due in at the end of July. Thanks, STIHL GB
Very good shot. I want to ask if the slow motion is a special effect or a high-speed camera.
Hi there, thank you very much. Unfortunately, we don't have any insight into the making of the Ad. Many thanks, STIHL GB
Perfect 💯
I got it but wish I didnt. Barely cut 2 logs into slabs and the tension parts broke. Replace with new OEM parts but it still wont keep the chain tight. Unscrew the captive nuts just a bit use the squwrench to tighten then nuts tightened and keeps getting lose. The gear tension kits seems to be grinding. Shame really now i have a $2500 paper weight. Called Stihl usa customer service they wont have anybody to talk to me for 5 days and just told me to call a authorized dealership instead. What kinda of service is that. Sent stihl and email throught their website a week ago still have not even gotten a response. Dont waste your hard earned money on a company that has customer service or rather lack there off. Better put it to good use elsewhere.
Hi there, we're really sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, we can't speak to how support works in the US, but from the sound of the issue the best thing you could do is take it to a dealer. The STIHL Approved Dealer network is there to provide support with exactly this type of problem where a physical repair is needed. I am sure our colleagues at STIHL USA will get back to you as soon as possible, many thanks STIHL GB
Thanks for the help
AWESOME! 😀
I can’t get that first top cap piece to come off at all,
Hi, thanks for your comment. If you can't take the head apart as shown in the video, we would recommend taking it to your nearest STIHL Approved Dealer for them to take a look at? Thanks, STIHL GB
Hello Stihl. I got a great offer from my local authorised Stihl dealership for a FSA 30 package (Charger, two battery and unit) and you mention that i can use the Autocut C 3-2 mowing head on it. But on your site it only says FSA 57 and FSE 52. Can you help explain that? Thank you. Brian
Hi Brian, thank you for your comment. AutoCut C 3-2 is compatible with the FSA 30, but it will dramatically reduce the operating time compared to using the standard PolyCut head with blades (included with the tool). We would only recommend using the AutoCut head if you have multiple spare batteries. And, thank you for pointing out the error on the website. The FSA 30 is a new tool and the compatible accessories have not been updated yet, but this will be amended very soon. Many thanks, STIHL GB
@@STIHLGB Hello Stihl GB. Thank you for the very quick reply and advice. I decided to buy the package since i can use the extra batteries on my GTA 26. Thanks. Brian.
I tried the water trick too. Doesn't make a bit of difference. I also have had little luck with the standard heard. The line breaks constantly. Going to try a different type of line and see how that works. My last resort. Not a fan of the STIHL trimmer.
Hi Craig, sorry to hear that. If you are finding that the line is constantly breaking, it may be worth looking into a grass trimmer that can take a thicker line or a duro-cut mowing head. You can find out more about which type of line is best in which situations, on our website here www.stihl.co.uk/en/garden-ideas-and-advice/power-tool-maintenance/grass-trimmer-tips/replacing-trimmer-line#choosing-trimmer-line
With mine, the line broke off melting or welding to itself. I was able to pick some of the line out of the spool, and there are several feet of line still trapped inside. What is the best way to remove that plastic sleeve that goes over the spool, without breaking it.
Hi there, unfortunately the plastic sleeve on the replacement pre-wound line spool is not designed to be removed. Our technical team would normally cut it to remove it, and replace with a new spool. Many thanks, STIHL GB
The line and blades both break constantly! It is extremely frustrating!!!
Hi Craig, thank you for your comment. A good trick to make your blades less brittle is to soak them in water overnight. It will make them more supple and help them to last longer. Many thanks, STIHL GB
I have just got the rm448v petrol machine And tbh I feel it’s very underpowered. Love the machine except that issue
Thanks for your comment, and we're sorry to hear you feel this way. I will pass this feedback on to our Product team. Thanks, STIHL GB
