What's the most versatile type of hedgetrimmer to buy

[woody paul]

Tanaka make good long hedge cutter. Cutter is good for very fine hedges.

Depending what strimmer you have the hedge cutter head will fit .

I'd say go with a stihl km94r combo unit with hedgecutter attachment. Gives you the option of using it as a strimmer as well if you're doing grass cutting

I personally find using long reach hedgecutters very unnatural. They are good for long reach(hence the name) but for fine topiary work I like to have my hands directly beneath the handles. I wouldn't advice long reach as your sole machine.

Thanks for the info everyone. It doesn't look like I've got the right model of Tanaka strimmer to allow attachment of the hedgetrimmer fitting. Will just buy an Echo or Stihl pole trimmer second hand off ebay, and see how I get on with it

What model are your Tanakas .

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

I've had both the Stihl and the Echo. The Echo is sweeter running, lighter, better cut and much smoother than the Stihl. Wouldn't buy anything else now.

ive got husky 327ld split system,short reach hedge cutter and extension pole to turn it into long reach,also have chainsaw,strimmer attachments,powerful bit of kit,not cheap tho,similar money to stihl

[highland dave]

I find this one is pretty good. Good for topiary too as long as you want it to look like a cut hedge.

or run that mulcher in your picture over the hedges, job done for the season lol
