Slow down then so the groundsman can keep up.....rookie 😀

I only slow down on hourly rate. Never when the job is priced!

Am I right in thinking Henchman are the importers now. Ted @easy-lift guy may have more info as he made them.

I rang henchman, fr Jones and sons, and 2 others that where listed as uk suppliers, no joy, non of them could get hold of any, and not for trying.

My local stihl dealer (galway, Ireland) had a gtm one on the shelf about a month ago, same concept as the easylift. Often looked at them, even bought the stihl one a few years back but didnt get on with it so now it's a shed ornament.

Hedge trimming is hard on the body but I enjoy it, pity it doesn't pay so well!

When I rang the uk suppliers, they all tried selling me one of these instead.

Ted (easylift) office is +1-941-485-0206, trying to call it from a mobile might be a challenge.

Excellent! Thank you very much, will give it a ring this week.

I've got the GTM "elephants trunk" (oo-er) 

 

It's ok, have never used an easy lift harness to compare.

 

Now fairly defunct with the onset of backpack battery hedgecutting 

I would possibly think about getting one of these, but really want to try my best to get an easy lift tbh, they hold all of the weight I believe.

I have it. Its crap to be honest. 

Any harness needs to be able to rise and fall while taking the weight to be comfortable or efficient. To change height on the stihl harness you have to adjust the strap or pole manually. Used it a couple of times. Now it's a dust catcher in a corner of the shed. The padding is good though and the balance too, it does distribute the weight well. Probably wouldnt take much to make it work better, retractable dog lead tied to the back of it or sumfink!

I quite like mine - get the balance point right and do all the cutting from ground to about shoulder height then readjust to do the next level. It’s not perfect by any means but definitely and elbow and shoulder saver on long jobs

New fancy one
