powerrabbit Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 If it's a blue one, bloody dangerous! Not sure about the later yellow ones but those that have the large spring breakaway on the boom are very dangerous if the threaded rod up through the middle of the spring breaks the boom folds up and the cutter head swings back around and comes through the side widow of the cab and tries to chew you up.

smithy Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thank you all for the information on Twose hedge cutters .The one I have been offered today is a brand new red one model no TF500S with joystick control was looking for a used model but they all have places where they have been welded up and silly prices but for a bit more money can get this one new .Thank you smithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Just to let forum members now that replied to my post that I have since bought this hedge cutter but I have not got a picture of the machine yet as the dealer is keeping it a couple of weeks as they have a show coming up and would like to have it on there stand as they cant get a replacement in time and as I cant cut hedges at moment I said ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Good luck with it. In the same delima myself, pricing around at all the different makers at moment, new seems to be the way to go, i wanted a second hand one but they're all done and new price minus the vat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
