I have a Bosch (40-18S)and it tackles quite big stuff if the blade is
sharpe, it is light and easy to use. I am not keen on using it off the

cutting at around chest height, be a good idea to get someone to control
the tree coming down with a rope.
A question Charlie - wouldn't cutting such tall leylandii down that much
kill it off altogether? *I ask that question as we too have a very tall
leylandii hedge running around part of our property and I hate it - makes me
feel rather claustrophobic
Yes :~)))
Go for it, would be my solution. *I hate the damned things when grown
in the wrong place. *I had a big, green, boring, claustrophobic slab of
them in my previous garden. *When they came down I truly preferred
drive and walk by villagers peering into the garden I was making. *It
led to many interesting chats. *Normally, I hate to see trees felled,
it's a horrible thing to me. * I could have danced the "death to
leylandii" dance the day those came down!
I'd love to but I have to persuade Tony first !
