A tidy line of leylands there, we have had several on the farm and still have a 272 synchro. Is that a 285 at the far end? Had one of those too, although that one could be a 2100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Went and had a look at my neighbour cutting back some overgrown hedges this morning 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 He has got about 3 miles of hedge to trim back over the Christmas break the cutting head is on hire so needs to make full use of it the Fiat-Hitachi is his own machine 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It does look a bit brutal but what is left will regrow and then can be trimmed back with a normal trimmer to do this by hand would take several men (or women) a few weeks the driver is also putting most of the big bits in heaps that can be picked up for firewood at a later date in the year when the ground is drier 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I am not sure what the cutting force is in tons of the hydraulic rams but will try to find out the driver did say that in soft-wood it is claimed to cut up to 300mm 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Fairly harsh trimming there Smithy, them shears are savage things but save a lot of time and labour.....my uncle hired one on a 13 tonner on a thinnings contract job about 7 or 8 years ago on a local estate, and my mum was carting away on a valmet 6400 and forwarding trailer at the time, though if you can get a finger in on the firewood contract then you'll have a supply for years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
