I have a job coming up on a day rate for the local farmer.

 

It compromises of cutting back thorn hedge which has grown through wire stock fencing. At least 2 ft behind the fence.

 

I thought about walking down the inside with a chainsaw036 and pulling away cut stuff. Major thorns on the hands tho.

 

Any better ideas would be welcome.

We have a tough old hedge with hawthorn in it. I bought a stihl hedge cutter for the job about 12 years ago. Too heavy for conifers but will happily much through 1/2" stuff all day and anything bigger it will nbble through. I cant see a model like it in the new stihl book will have a look at ours later.

Flail it right up to the stock fence and then put a buzz bar on instead of the flail head and run it up the inside of the fence line.

 

Most of the stuff should fall out. If not, pull it out.
