Thanks guys. I'll drive down to take a proper look.

Thanks for the quick reply Steve. I haven't seen the hedge yet. It might all be relatively new growth, or like you say it might have been 30ft. I'll get some photos and post some more info. Cheers

Hi all I potentially have a job that involves taking a 15ft hedge down to 10ft. I'll have to buy more equipment before I take it on so I need a sense-check before I commit to it. An 8ft Henchman tripod ladder (that I don't have) extends to 10ft placing the platform at 7ft. I'm 6'4" so the final height of the hedge is now at my waist height but I'll have 5ft of material above waist height to deal with. I'm using a stihl 131 with the 145 trimmer - will the hedge at 10ft be too much for the trimmer? I'm not making very much on this after I buy the ladders and roof bars but I'd rather take the job than turn it down. Is there anything I haven't thought of before I commit. Thanks
