They work ok, I have used one quite a few times, however you will find that if you can get a tractor in with a hedge cutter that will be faster, reach higher and will generally do a better job of hedges and verge.

 

Where they do fall flat on there face is there hydraulic power requirement and how unless you use a bigger 360 you will constantly find yourself working from the top of something down and constantly modulating the breaker circuit with your foot as your moving rams/sluing etc which is why you work down hill when cutting so the arm uses gravity thus is not robbing pressure/flow like if you tried to work razing the arm, the other advantage if you used a bigger 360 is you would be able to track the at a good speed machine wile cutting and making small adjustments to the arm rather than just creeping at most wile cutting.

 

To get the best out of them you have got to be well coordinated on a digger at any reach especially if your cutting above ground and need to maintain shape.

 

Another note is by the time you have turned a 2.5t 360 90deg to its tracks and razed the dipper arm to cut anything above 1m high you are actually wider than a tractor with a hedge cutter! ;)
