Is that the Stihl battery pole saw, or petrol?

thanks for the reply - bigger than anything I've tackled in terms of sheer length

It looks geometric and neat, they must be pleased with it.

It did occur to me a decent size tractor and flail could trim most of the sides, not as nice a finish

 

 

Thankyou, a tractor and flail got as high as he could reach on the first pic mick posted, I was surprised how good he make it look being conny but only les than half way up in any case.

Battery saw, a recent addition which so far is awesome. ideal not to have to start it up everytime you have to use it.

Well done, looks great, but **************** that.

 

When I used to do a lot of hedges in the UK we measured them…. 1 man for a day in a conny hedge is known as 1 misery.

 

So all in all, how many misery’s did it take?

A total of 7 misery's including trimming, made survivable by stihl comms so I could listen to my audiobook 😂

Thanks.

They do look good.

 

Must have been a Godsend on that job.

Now I think about it, petrol pole saws are always a ballache to start. 
You have to lay it out, make sure the saw head isn’t touching the ground etc. 
 

A battery one is much more usable.
