Hedge Trimmer Recommendations

Hi Fellow URGlers Yes I know this stuff can be googled but am after real world opinion! I have a mixed row of hedging comprising cotoneaster, escallonia, eleagnus, photinia and ceanothus. The height is around 2.5m and length about 20m, more of a run of shrubs being treated as a hedge. Our old mains Black and Decker corded trimmer is small and old and we are considering treating ourselves to a new machine. What I think we need is: A longer blade Adjustable length Angleable head Probably a bit thicker branch capacity The concerns: Machine weight - neither myself or the Mrs are body building types. Machine "balance" in use. Cost - not so concerned but want vfm I am thinking that the weight concern means we should be looking at corded models still. Constructive comments and recommendations appreciated. Phil To do a hedge similar in size to yours I bought a Titan (Screwfix own-brand) corded pole trimmer about 3 years ago. It works, but it is heavy. Any pole trimmer will be heavy and no matter what they say will be unbalanced as all the weight is at one end. If you can, go round garden centres, sheds, specialist mower/trimmer suppliers, etc and just try lifting those on display to give you an idea of what you will experience when you use one. -- Jeff |
