Yep, I guess it depends whether you want a dedicated long reach hedge trimmer, such as one of the Stihl HL range, or a Combi system such as a Stihl KM  

The KM56 combi is a domestic machine, so expect some problems if used professionally.  Drive cables instead of solid shafts in the engine unit, fixed harness point, etc.  (This doesn't apply to the bigger KM versions).

 

But bang for buck I'd probably go with one of the ECHO machines, either Combi or dedicated.

Makita EN4950H:

 

Vibration: Right Handle (Rear grip) 8.9 m/sec²
Vibration: Left Handle (Front grip) 6.3 m/sec²

 

Isn't that  high for a new machine compared to the others?

 

 

 

 

Wonder if the  extra cost of the husky or others etc is partly due paying for better anti vibration?

Husqvarna 325HE4

 

Equivalent vibration level (ahv, eq) front / rear handle 5.4/2.4 m/s²

 

 

 

Always thought the italian active stuff looks well made & they also make the most powerful strimmer in production and  made in italy not China.

Never seen any being used though...

 

8 different combi engines sizes ranging up to 3.0kw

 

So you could have a beast of a hedge trimmer...
