hedge trimming

[armchairarborist]

leylandii reduction and trim, took longer than anticipated and nearly called for a mewp as stepladder was a bit short, couple of local residents stopped to say they thought we had done a good job, all i can see is the flicky bits that i should go back up for.. very boring, got another to do tomorrow as well..

Similar one for me today. 5 and a half hours in the top of a hedge remving 8 foot to leave just 20ish foot on a steep garden. The drag was a nightmare for the groundie

thought i'd cut all the dead bits inside down about 3ft below final hedge height to give me something to stand on, worked a treat, gunna try it tomorrow too if i can..

Nice work. Long reach trimmers would have made it easier though!

I know that Stihl's combi tools are not the cheapest, but how many hours do you need to save, to justify the expense of (£650 ex)...

KombiTools - Catalogue - STIHL

 

They are great, and good to work with. But it's difficult not to be tempted to buy other tools for the system (blower, brush cutter, pole pruner)

without turning this thread into a 'i've got less money than you' debate.. i really could do with a year of spending less and working 7day weeks, but the kombisystem is sooo nice and would do loads of hardwork and make so much money, SLAP..NO! no way, mustn't....spend.....money...
