trimmers so I always miss a lot at the top of the hedge.

A neighbour has a Stihl one, the separate engine and then you buy the
accessories you want type, that he uses for a very large Beech hedge. He
reckons is excellent.

Hi, I have a Flymo Sabre which is cordless and you carry a 12v rechargeable
battery pack, which is quite heavy, but you have a harness to carry it over
your shoulder.I've found it very good for the 'higher hedge' and it has the
advantage of interchangeable implements i.e. strimmer,saw and a few other
bits that escape me at the moment!!
