A refined tool, designed by those who know the landscaping professional. The first professional garden cutter 'STIHL GTA 40' to be released in a limited pre-sale.

STIHL Japan, a subsidiary of the world's No.1 chainsaw brand, announced that starting June 25, 2026, it will begin a limited pre-sale of the 'GTA 40,' the latest battery-powered garden cutter developed specifically for professional landscapers and arborists.

Since its founding in 1926, STIHL has addressed the challenges of demanding work environments. The GTA 40 is the culmination of STIHL's expertise gathered from professional landscaping and special felling sites, designed to ensure professionals achieve maximum performance.

Built upon the cutting performance established as the world's top chainsaw brand, the GTA 40 integrates power, operability, maneuverability, and comfort for long work sessions. It is engineered to meet the practical requirements of professional sites.

In 2020, STIHL pioneered the garden cutter market in Japan with the launch of the 'GTA 26' for home users. Having established that market, STIHL took the next step by developing a product tailored to professional environments. Professionals require more than just cutting power; they need designs and functions suited for working at heights, in tight spaces, and for long durations. Embodiment of the STIHL philosophy, 'Making work comfortable for those who work in and with nature,' the GTA 40 is designed for professional use down to the smallest detail.
