i never knew that the world of hedge trimmers/ cutters was such a minefield?!?

i was just going to get the stihl long handled job. seemingly done a good job in the past.

but then again i didn't hang around long enough to notice bruising, too busy tarmacking the neighbors driveway!! :D

 

i have never used the echo or danarm and just assumed the stihls where good enough.

will follow thread with interest.

Interesting post this, I cut a lot of Leylandii, Privet, Yew, no Hawthorn though, over the years have used Shindaiwa (Pole), Tanaka (single sided), currently using a Stihl KM56 pole, carbon fibre extension with a Ryobi Expandit Hedge Cutter attachment, kept very sharp with a Dremel. This set up seems to work for me.

Trimmer/ cutter, we may know the difference and be able to tell which hedge has been cut or trimmed by what but all Joe public cares about is that it's done, done cheaply and you didnt leave a mess, and yes I do know that some clients do care and can tell if it's been done properly. So unless you have very deep pockets and can afford different trimmers for different days of the week then go with a machine that will do the job and look after it, clean it, grease it,maintain it and it will make you money
