Small hedge flail in East Surrey?

[nepia]

I have a client on the Surrey/Kent border with 60 yards of 8' tall, 5' wide laurel hedge.  He wants around 18" off the top.

Two of us could spend too many hours on it and a lot of his money with loppers and/or small screaming saw.  On the other hand a small/midi tractor and flail could do the job in minutes; access is OK for that with a pavement running along the hedge and a flat grass verge beyond that, all in a very quiet 100% residential cul-de-sac.

 

Does anyone know of such a machine?  I have once seen one locally and it looked brilliant, probably run by a ~25hp tractor.

 

Thanks,

Jon

Give Coppards a call, they have a lot of this kit for self drive or with an operator.

Thanks for that Bob; never even crossed my mind and Coppards Bletchingley are between me and the client.

 

Cheers,
