Battery HEDGE TRIMMER Cutting An OVERGROWN Privet Hedge

- Hedge trimming A Privet hedge that we cut last year, getting quite a hard prune as it is slightly overgrown and unfortunately got left too long before trimming.
Using a Makita dun500wz 18v Battery hedge trimmer and seeing if it is up to the task, instead of my usual hedge trimmer.
Thanks for watching 👍 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I just can’t get over how level it is. What an eye. Beautiful job.
Cheers, it wasn't perfect but just about gd enough.
Richard, thanks for posting all of your videos. This video answered questions we had on battery trimmers. Other videos on sharpening blades were really great too!
Thanks,

Wonderful job man. I love the sound of that hedge trimmer, it's not noisy & hums real soft.
😃 cheers
Nice. Having been working for myself for 6 years now, I have exclusively used the RYOBI One Plus platform for all my gardening and DIY work at customers. My hedge cutting gear gets a lot of use, and I'm very happy with the platform for performance and especially the price. I've never used petrol tools, The bonus of any battery platform is less noise, not buying fuel, and of course using the same battery to power multiple tools. And as you are demonstrating. The same results can be achieved with battery tools.
That sounded like a commercial 😂
@@RJLgardens It does seem like I'm a bit of a Ryobi Fan boy.
I can’t stop watching! You’ve got an excellent eye for level! Perfect in my estimation, the best out there and I’ve watched a few! Watching from New Hampshire.
That's great thanks 👍
Good job 👍
The battery powered hedge cutters are less fatiguing, and more environmentally friendly, and noise friendly, but on the downside quite a bit slower in performance, and definitely can add more time to any hedge cutting job , we use the stihl rigid,also extendable type ,definitely a blessing with good sharp blades ,and amazed how long the battery lasts , definitely battery powered tools are always being improved, and sure to take the place of petrol powered 👍
Thanks, Yeh I enjoy the weight and noise benefits of certain battery tools the most. 👍
OMG! I just bought that exact hedge trimmer! While I haven't tried using it yet (we've been in a heat wave...), it's good to see that it works this well! (This is for my own, personal, use -- so it doesn't bother me that it cuts slower than a gas trimmer. Besides, I'm in my late 60s now, and desperately need lighter tools for my garden!) Thanks for the demo!
be careful the weight is in the front
No worries, hope they work well for you 👍
@@RJLgardens I was talking for Donna ^^
That reply was for Donna 😀👍, cant say i noticed about the front heavy weight
What machine is this
If they nominated a Best Hedge Trimming Oscar ... this clip would be a finalist! Wow!
Thanks, but nothing special by any means 👍
Awesome job!!! thank you for sharing.
Cheers 👍
Perfect job, good equipment.
Cheers 👍
Excellent demo of the battery powered clipper. ( I want one now) If you don't mind the cost, get a "Little Giant" ladder. They are heavier but you move it less since you climb both sides, with the adjustments and leg leveler you can set up on a steep hill and pretty much stand on the top without feeling wobbly. Your video reminds me of working the top of a similar hedge and running into a Yellowjacket nest followed by a speed decent and run to the truck!
Cheers, I do have a similar adjustable type ladder but its not a large one, Never felt the need to get the proper big version, they look good though. Yeh run away from yellow jacket nests 😅👍
there we go this what jobs we really get out in the feild
What a meticulous job Mate; simply brilliant! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇬🇧❤️ New subscriber from Florida, 🇺🇸 USA.
Thanks 👍
Nice job there and if I was ever to go all battery for my garden stuff it would be Makita. But as now and as long as I can get parts I'm going to stick to using 2 stroke 🤔🙂👍
Thanks mate, i am still very much a petrol user at heart and not stopping anytime soon. Im not sold on the battery gear yet and wouldnt want to rely on it solely. 👍
My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
thanks 😃
That great! I trust battery tools. Always have extra batteries & charger as a backup to keep the job going.
Yeh nothing worse than running out of juice 👍
Nice work, good to see you giving the battery gear a test.
What's the best electric hedge trimmer nathan
@@strangerElmax I've only used the Stihl, I think echo, husky, ego are all similar. Maybe try a find a supplier local to compare them. But I'd take them over petrol for maintenance and trims any day of the week
Thanks mate, yeh im not against it 😀, def nice to use at times. 👍
Nice job 👏
Cheers 👍
Brilliant work #fellow gardener 💯
Cheers mate 👍
wow nice
Ich nutze ausschließlich eine Stabheckenschere von Husqvarna mit 36(?)-V Akku. Ich liebe sie. Und (vielleicht nach der Motorsäge) hat die Heckenschere den geringsten Leistungsbedarf beziehungsweise die längste Laufzeit mit einem Akku.
Hecken schneiden ist dankbare Arbeit. Ich mach es einfach gerne. :)
👍
I used one of these on a beech not the same model but it didn't last long broke before I got the hedge cut I think maybe they're alright on privet but they are nice and light
Yeh they are alright for smaller bits, wouldn't want to cut any really thick hedges with them though.
Good job
👍
Nice job
Thanks
Nice...
👍
Thanks to you i purchased one of these last year love it 🤠👍👍👍What's the battery capacity your using ??
Nice 1 Graham, it gets the job done. I generally use the 5ah batteries mate 👍
I have the milwaukee it's definitely nice to use instead of gas
👍
Privet explodes away if you let it ,you seem to be giving a tougher winter proof cut a cut off cone narrower at the top to shead snow,just one years out growth.
Yeh privet is fast growing, this was about 8 months growth i think, and it will get cut again this year in a few months time. 👍
Way to go: Electrfying!

Loving it mate! Precision in this cut is phenomenal
So satisfying to watch
Deadly to b fair..
how much would you charge for this cut? If ya don’t mind me asking thanks in advance
Thanks mate, dont talk pricing soz 👍
Need to feed those young ones in the middle of those ancient hedge some Miracle Gro and get them up to snuff.
Yes they have had a feed recently but not doing too well, hopefully they take off soon, they havent been in very long 👍
Thanks for sharing this video. How long did this job take using the battery trimmer? In a way, I guess, how many batteries/charges?
👍 This took around 1hr, and i used half a 5ah battery (on the fastest hedge trimmer setting)
I know you most likely don't tell price but what did you charge for a job like this
Great job. Have you tried the Husqvarna battery hedge trimmers? I believe they rival the petrol ones and have a long battery life.
Thanks, no not tried any husky battery gear yet 👍
g le debrousailleur deux fois 18 volt de chez makita très content de se que je fait avec pour se taille haie 18 VOLT COMBIEN de temps de charge avec une seule batterie merci ou je vais surement acheter celui en multi fonction avec le quelle on peut adapter divers perche dessus
Tidy work that. A man of my ilk. What make are those step ladders ? My tubescas are coming to the end of their life.
Cheers, they are youngmans. They dont make these anymore though, they are 20yrs old.
@RJLgardens cheers fella, I'll shop around see what I can find. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
So whats the outcome, did you like it? I need to buy one.
Pero para Espinoza duras que tal es
?
Have you used a stihl hla 66 with the ap100
Would you say this hedge cutter is lighter or the same
Looks lighter
No haven't tried that 1, this makita is fairly light though 👍
How are you finding the Makita trimmers would you say is for professional use. Is your the 18v? Would you say the bigger batteries would give more power as suggested. Keep up the good work 👍
They are not too bad for what they are, i wouldnt call them pro gear though, yeh this is the 18v one and i was using a 5ah battery. Will be doing a review soon hopefully 👍
@@RJLgardens thanks for the reply, keep up the good work 👍
What's this cutter like on beech
Great video, what hedge trimmer are you using? Thankyou
Cheers, it's the makita dun500wz
Taking a decent amount of.
Yeh getting a pretty hard cut, had gotten a bit leggy 👍
Hello there I have a question how many times did you change the battery for this job because I’m planning to buy that electric trimmer
Started with a full 5ah battery and when i finished there was around half the battery life left, as shown towards the end.
How do you keep it straight? Specially at the top? Experience?
Yeh i guess so. I dont always get them perfect but there or there abouts is good enough in most cases 👍
Does this hedge trimmer lock at 90 degree angle to trim the top of the hedge without a ladder?
Yes it will do
Are you enjoying the benefits of battery mate?
Yeh its nice to use mate, im not a convert yet though 😀. I would need to try some proper pro gear first, which im not going to invest in just yet. 👍
How long does the battery last on the 18v version? Thanks
You can get a couple of hours out of a 5ah battery 👍
How much would you charge for a job like that?
Il sopra quasi perfetto,tranne gli ultimi 4,5 metri che la siepe sale .
Which brand of steps are you using in this video?
Youngman fibreglass platform step ladders. They dont make any like this anymore.
ive had a few of these now, the head after a while slips out of locked position, have sent it back to makita a number of times and they don't know how to fix it. after 3 times being sent back still with the fault they sent me a replacement unit and after 8 months thats doing the exact same thing so its clearly a manufacturing fault. other than that they are good but the fault makes them almost useless as 1 slip and you've taken the top out of a hedge or a bush you didn't want to
Yeh that is a big problem with it, i tightened up the head bolt on my ones to hopefully make them last longer. I am happy if i get 2 years out of it 😂. Shame though, got a review coming out this weekend 👍
@@RJLgardens I sent an email to Makita last week and they said the unit I sent in is being used without problem on their grounds but I just can't believe that at all. It did it with me within a minute of getting out of the box after "repair" even when holding the red collar up towards the blades. Happens all the time especially with twiggy stuff. Not so much with fresh growth but it still does it. Drives me mad, have taken a few chunks out of some customers shrubs and stuff...it's very embarrassing really.

Which makita model is it?
Jan from Denmark
Hi Jan, its the dun500wz
is that the 18v version?
Certainly is 👍
Hi mate what hedge cutter is that?
Makita dun500wz
@@RJLgardens That's great thanks. So I have been using the Husqvarna 520i battery long reach which I love but it's impossible to find any in stock. I think the Makita that you have runs at the same blade speed as the Husqvarna so perhaps I will try that now!
Podador de cerca e a bateria
What hedge trimmer is it
Makita dun500wz
@@RJLgardens thanks
like 104
Nice trimmers for a girl
They even came with some free lipstick 😜
@@RJLgardens on a standard Makita 18v battery... I love my Makita eh7500w 2stroke so fast compared to ego 2 speed. HS81R beast. Got a Dolmar 110 chainsaw still cuts logs. So light magnesium alloy
Grrrr .... prune those privets to the ground, down 15 feet to their roots ... invasive damnable plants here in U.S. - espeically when birds eat their berries and poop them all over at the fence lines. Would rather grow seabuckthron instead - at least the berries are highly nutritious - and make an excellent thorny hedge !
Nice job
👍👌
