Hedge Trimmer Recommendations
TheChief Wrote in message:
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 -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ Thanks to all for the detailed replies and time taken. Probably start by looking at the Bosch corded model and comparing to our current black and decker jobbie for weight. Being of a certain age and driving a desk for a living, both the weight of anything and also the requirement to keep two go buttons pressed will have to be a focus.
