Stihl FS360 hedgecutter adaption

[Stihl_Ben_UK]

Hi, hopefully I've posted this in the right place..

 

I've got a Stihl FS360 brushcutter which I normally use for its intended purposes, however I do have some high reach hedgecutting to do (at home). I know Stihl (and others) offer an array of attachments for other models of brushcutter. Can any of these hedgecutter or polesaw attachments, stihl or otherwise, be fitted or adapted to fit my model of Stihl Brushcutter?

 

This is DIY use only so not worried about liabilities / insurances / warranties etc. Just want to know if anything will physically fit if I were to remove the brushcutter head from the strimmer and try and fit something else?

 

Trying to avoid buying a whole extra machine if I can avoid it.

 

Thanks for any advice or input!

Nope, wrong size tube. The smaller brushcutters (up to FS240 I think) have the right size tube.

 

For hedgecutting you really need the loop handle and trigger too. I've done as you describe with handlebars on a FS130 before for rights of way maintenance (the less you carry the better!) It works OK-ish with the handlebar folded round but that was for rough old footpath bashing.

That's exactly the info I was after, many thanks.

I'll stick to waving a 3 blade brush knife or circular saw blade around above my head instead then!
