harness for strimmer/brushcutter

[hedgesparrow]

just interested what others use what harness and make. i did use the ones which came with machine but they became slack after a while so invested in a husqvarna one cost £80 but worth the money adjust 4 ways so is nice and tight yet comfortable and do not know i have strimmer on when working

Sounds like yours is as good as mine! (Stihl)

I would suggest the Easy-Lift Harness. Model 717-A is convertible and can be used with a line trimmer, power hedger, and an extended power pole pruner with either a hedger or saw attachment. Yes the price of the ELH is worth it since you will increase your productivity 100 to 200% per day, and for the first time ever be in control of the implement you are using. Just remember the ELH is an investment. Treat it as such and work smarter not harder.

i can see its use with a long reach but with a strimmer it would get caught in the overhanging trees that a no of jobs i do have. but looks good just can not see it working for a no of jobs hence went for a normal harness. but more of a pro one

Sounds like the same style as the Stihl one I use.

I know a couple thinners that use the Stihl ones with their Husky thinning saws. They claim for everyday wear the Stihl one fits better and lasts longer. YMMV.
