Buyers Guide to Hedge Trimmers

Regular trimming of your hedge is an essential part of a summer maintenance to ensure healthy growth, dense habit and a tidy appearance. The following guide relates to both petrol hedgetrimmers and electric hedgetrimmers.

The choice of hedgetrimmer can depend on a number of factors such as type of hedge, thickness and size.

Electric Hedge Trimmers

Electric hedge trimmers are the most common type of hedge cutter for small, domestic areas. Mostly double-sided, and varying in length from 16" to 28", electric hedge trimmers are versatile and much lighter to use than the heavier petrol hedge trimmers.We offer ranges from Ryobi, Gtech and Viking and range in motor sizes from 400 to 600 watts. Some of the models offered by these manufacturers are more suitable for heavier duty work, an example being the Viking HE715. For more difficult to reach areas, Gardena manufacture a long reach electric hedge trimmer with a retractable telescopic shaft. A more heavy duty long reach hedge trimmer would be the Viking HEL700 (0-135deg) which, like the petrol equivalent from Stihl, has an adjustable cutter head. New to the market a couple of years ago was the award-winning Garden Groom which collects the hedge cuttings as you work.It is now available in two sizes - midi and maxi.

Petrol Hedge Trimmers

Petrol hedge trimmers offer more power and flexibility than electric hedge trimmers. There are two different types of cutter blades available - double-sided blades (often more popular on electric hedge trimmers) and single-sided blades which are lighter and more suited to longer periods of work. For the small to medium domestic application consider the smaller Stihl and Kawasaki machines. Examples of these are the HS45 and the KHD600. We also offer a range from Echo. For those difficult to reach areas we offer petrol long reach hedge trimmers, also from Stihl, Shindaiwa and Echo, the most popular being the Stihl HL75K (0-135deg). The cutter bar gearhead on this model can be adjusted to different angles, thus allowing these hedge trimmers to be prepared for different jobs and optimally adjusted to the user's height. All petrol hedge trimmers offered by us are powered by 2-stroke engines which offer a higher power-to-weight ratio than 4-stroke engines and can be tilted to any angle.

Combi Systems

If you are looking for the long reach petrol hedge trimmers, you should consider the flexibility offered by Stihl and Shindaiwa in their Combi Systems. The basic priniciple is that you buy a power unit and the attachment(s) to suit your needs. These vary from a brushcutter, hedgetrimmer, pruner, edger, strimmer, soil cultivator and power sweep. Although the initial purchase might be a little more expensive, the benefits will come as you add more attachments.
