[MattyF]

Looks good ! Didn't you find the 441 a pita though for clambering across the top with though?

if im walking a hedge I use a 200t look how I use the ladders matty i lean into the hedge i can reach about 4ft with out leaving the ladder I do most my hedges like is and just scythe the waste off

i find this much easier than walking a hedge

there was about 300m of conifer i cut out in 2 days on my own

ps its the same place u done that willow for me

Yeah, I've done this a few times, lowered a big thick hedge, husky 385 with a 28" bar, took it down 3', hedge cutters only do so much

I'd much rather use a small rear handled saw thsn a topper in a hedge on the thicker stems, just a personal preference. As others say, smaller stuff is loppers and hedgetrimmers. Reason I prefer a rear handle, fed up with replacing the breather and chain catcher on the 020s:001_rolleyes:

550 with the finger bar off a ryjobi hedge trimmer bolted on to the side of a 15" bar works a treat for doing beech hedging

 

Often though about welding something up along the lines of what you, ve described for topping privet and holly.

Any chance of a few pics please.
