@@jackw9920 I personally prefer the 4mix engines (km111/km131) for the pole pruner, loads of torque. HL94's for hedge trimming, lightweight and balanced for all day. Also use a Tanaka longreach, quality machine as well.
Nice job there chief, love the uploads, keep them coming, but another slant on the PPE thingy - I wouldn't be without my anti vibration gloves either! Got mine from Screwfix about £20 a pair, but have to remember not to use them for weeding etc!
Thanks mate. I notice you commented on Rob maxwells page regarding magnetic signs and said yours were shaped to the panel kind of thing. Can I ask where you bought them?
@@TheGreyGardener1990 Yes mate. I think they came from the Isle of White of all places. There great, never, ever come off at motorway speeds. BUT. I had to cut them to size myself which isn't great. Give us a few mins and I'll try and find a link to where I got them.
Alright buddy nice job. I was wondering if you would prefer battery hedge trimmer or the petrol one. I will be getting one shortly and was wondering which would be better
Petrol way more power but costs to run it plus the fumes. My battery one costs nothing to run and is a bit lighter. Depending on the hedge, sometimes I'll use both. If its a slight trim it will be the battery. If its a more severe cut I'll use my kombi

I have my earphones in with music on, they have background noise cancellation so I barely hear the engine but glasses yeah. I find I can't see too well with them on though, need to buy new ones I think
@@TheGreyGardener1990 yes my old safety glasses did get scratched and was hard to see our of them. I bought some new Stihl safety glasses for about £13 now I can see what I am working on plus I feel safe from not losing my eyesight. Keep up with the brilliant videos. Stay safe.
Without sounding like your Mum mate, you need to start wearing eye protection and ear protectors. You only get one pair of eyes and a piece of wood can easily flick out and cause serious damage . I cringe when so called professionals dont even protect themselves
I always have my earphones in mate and listen to my music so I can barely hear the engine at all as they have outside noise cancellation built in too. Take your point on the eye protection like, it's just whenever I wear it, my vision is nowhere near as good when I'm doing hedges. Don't you find that?
@@TheGreyGardener1990 ok mate no worries. I tend to just wear clear eye protection glasses, they do tend to get scratched and marked so I'd normally go through 2 or 3 pairs in a season ( usually buy few at a time from Screwfix ). The amount of times something flies out at high speed and hits the lens , I often wonder what damage would of been done had I not been wearing them. Stay safe mate 👍
@@TheGreyGardener1990 yes good idea mate, I find the vision is fine through them except when it's raining they are a pain then, trying to constantly wipe them. Maybe get some with built in windscreen wipers!! 😀👍
94rc, the best lightweight unit out there. Been using them for years now on all my hedges\conifers
Agree mate, add in the extension poles and a pole saw and it’s a very useful bit of kit. Does everything the battery HLA66 can’t cope with.

You obviously haven't used the Husqvarna 525's
Going to swap from the battery to the 94rc combi one. My hla 66 gave up and it wasn't used much really disappointed with it.
I would be lost without my kombi. I’ve got the 4-mix and it’s a beast. I bought the edging attachment and it’s terrible 😂
Top job there :-D There are quite alot of jobs this sort of size out there. Just got to find them :D
Get the carbon extension pole for it, you'll be surprised how often you use it. I use mine a fair bit 👍 Great looking job there!
Cheers. Yeah I have one mate, it's decent

Top job buddy. But I do echo others concerns about PPE you need to protect yourself and your income. 👍

I hope u don't mind me asking but how much did u charge for this one. how did u get rid of the waste?
How do you go about cleaning up the stuff on the ground?
A lot of people go over it with a mulching mower and blow it back under the hedge. Or you can use leaf grabber and pick it up
Can you tell me what you charged for the job? And we'll done, you look a lot more professional, looks like you're clientele is improving also.
Where’s the PPE ;)😮
Abit random lol but what name.and make are them work trousers you have onn
They were just from primark I think. Just cheap things

@@TheGreyGardener1990 I am looking at the Hal 66. Seems to be the best of both worlds.
I’d have used the HLA66 on that trim tbh. Combi is great for the thicker stuff tbiugh
@@jackw9920 I only did it with the kombi to film it ha. Usually I use my battery trimmer on these kind of jobs
Safety glasses gloves ear defenders??? Be safe. Great job of the hedge but safety first. Take care.

@@pauldarlington2966 cheers. My current protectors are a bit scratched so think I'll buy 3 or 4 cheaper ones and see how they fare
