Stihl / husky /Tanaka combi's...

[J.D]

Has anybody had any experience of using these machines ?

 

We cover all the different tasks on our grounds maintenance rounds but the borders and Hedge trimming can be very time consuming, especially forking the borders.

 

Are the cultivator attachments for these machines any good and if so which make would you recommend ?

Apart from the saw head and hedg trimer head I cant tell you much more than that but they are very good. Stihl do a long arm hedge cutter with a handle half way up the pole. Its not very long 4 meters max but its great if you do alot of hedge cutting work its not as heavy as the ht75? (the telescopic pole saw) so its great for not very high hedges if not just buy yourself a ht75 with both head actachment.
