What saw would people recommend as an ideal ground saw? Thinking along the lines of ms241, ms261 or ms362? What are the pros/cons of each one. Cheers

We have a hazel hedge which runs the length of the garden. You can see the hazel has previously been laid but there has been no new growth from the pleachers and much of it is dead and has broken off from the cuts. All the new growth is from the stool which is roughly now 15-25ft therefore I want to lay it again. It is so tall it is encroaching on other trees along the border which we would like to open up so we are able to appreciate them. It is also quite a patchy hedge and I would quite like to put more varieties in to bulk it out. This means it is currently a hazel every few feet with dead material laid inbetween. Therefore shall lay the hazel and then plant saplings? Or plant some and wait until the saplings become more established and lay it all as one? If I lay the hazel shall I remove the previously laid material (even if it still attached to the new growth). It looks as if some of it has been laid quite high off the ground meaning it will be difficult to lay the new growth over the top. Another option would be to coppice the hazel and plant other varieties and wait for several years and lay it then? If so how many years could it be before it is established enough to lay. I have some experience hedgelaying but never just Hazel. Any tips/advice will be greatly appreciated.
