Hegarty Hedge Cutting - The man, gear and story

- I hope you enjoyed that video. I first met Hugh Hegarty as part of my college placement a few years ago and always wanted to capture the gear and more importantly the story behind it. Hughs's story is an inspirational one, it proves you don't have to be born into it to have it. If you can dream of it you can achieve it. There is no magic formula, Hugh is an ordinary guy who just grinds it out every day. It also shows how hard work always pays off. Thanks for watching, any tips or comments feel free to let me know.
Before I saw this video, I hired Hugh to clear out some overgrown vegetation on a wee humble cottage I inherited in Ireland. The cottage has been in our family for many years. Because of Covid, I couldn't get over there from the USA to see what needed to be done. I called Hugh out of the blue and this very kind, dear man went out and expertly did a fantastic job of trimming up the overgrowth around the cottage that had been unoccupied for over 5 years. Although we had never met, he trusted me to pay him and I trusted him to restore the grounds around the home that my great grandmother lived in. I always knew the Irish were special and Hugh (and his family) sets a fine example of how very special the Irish people truly are. Thank you Hugh, hope to meet you and your family someday soon.
Some day might never come. Get over to Ireland as soon as you can. Work will always be there. Life waits for no one. Go while you and yours are healthy.
@@kevlally I did get over there and was able to meet Hugh. Super great, honest guy with a terrific family.
A very proud and humble man. Looks like a good boss. Look after him he’ll look after you. Knows the value of money.
You said it
Great to see so many Mcconnel Hedge cutters working and Masseys tractors
Great video, a man after my own heart !! Love the 2725.
Thanks , yea she looks well with the econ on her
I have started this year with ursus 450 and a small mc Connell 3 and half ft head suits the low hp tractor, handy for gardens but will still do field work. Have got 6 to 7 customers already might upgrade to bigger tractor in the future.
Goodman Pual. Keep er lit. Achieve the dream
A product of hard work. Fair play to this man & his team. Immaculately kept fleet and has rewarded him justly. Enjoyed that, good luck for 2020! Great video!
Absolutely, with hard work anything is achievable, thanks very much. You too
@@simplyagri5191 You're very welcome! Best of luck!
Fair play to hugh he has brilliant set up for hedge cutting, thank you for sharing this video ,top class
He has some well kept fleet 👌🏻
He sure dose , built it from nothing so takes pride in it. Every machine washed every night after a days work... thats the secret
Great video. Well made from the start right up to the end.
Thanks very much
Great video- fantastic fleet of well kept Massey’s 👍
Yea washed ever night is the secret 👌 attention to the little details
Brilliant video
I'm in the same business. You are right about the short season. Most times in winter it's too wet to go into the land. Keep up the good work.
It's long enough
Great video love if he went trough all the tractors he’s had and the highs and lows
Thanks patrick , yea ur apsolutly right there. Didnt have enough B-roll to keep it interesting as hugh talked but deffo in the future i can revisit hugh and discuss those points. Thanks for the feedback
That was great D. Well done lad.
Thanks very much john
Great video and great machines

I wonder what his OCIs are, some OEMs are now recommending every 1000hrs. Many I know have not got their head around the 500hr interval yet.
Great video lad 👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you
Great video well done 👍
Thanks very much Colm
Great video
Thanks very much
Love it but I’d suggest no music, for myself I’d just prefer the engine sound track. Commentary of the operators would be even better.
Thanks for that Rob, yea im gona try get more raw sounds in my future videos , have u checked out the 956 video I did tipping her load , would put anyone on a horn
Simply Agri - thanks, I’ve since watched it, and fantastic.
Wow!!!! fergie heaven........my granda used to have a 590 then a 2640!!
Whats his story behind the mf2725 with the hedge cutter mounted in the middle. Great video lad 👍👍
Thanks Samual, yea Hugh bought it out of john deere dealer in England couple years ago. he thought it could work well for him with the Econ cuz the Econ was on the 6290 at the time freeing up the 6290 for other work
Some fleet. Whereabouts in cork are they based?

That's how it's done .
Nice
Ik versta dr geen klap van
I dont know what your saying but ur a sound man cheers boss 😂
2725 all day long
Singularly the most destructive piece of kit designed by man. Depriving berries and seeds from birds at critical time of year.
Probably responsible for wiping out a lot of Ireland’s birds and their habitats
So you think it would be better if there was just enough room for a bicycle to cycle along the white line?
684 IH couldn’t give a crap about bicycles
@@Tomherbs stop talking shite
Hi Tom , i understand and appreate your concerns. Thanks for expressing them under this video. Hugh has a great understanding of the bush as he has 30 years experience of managing them all around the cork countryside, unlike alot of fellas out there as he mentions and seeing people who dont know what they are doing , destroy habitats isnt a nice thing two see. If u would like 2 make yourself available for an interview alongside Hugh when i do a follow up that would be great. Thanks
Simply Agri it is not just him, most contractors are mulching big bushy hedges into the shape of a low box hedge. Birds will not nest in low narrow hedges, from what I can see in this video they also mulch scrub into the ground which is having affect on Ireland’s small mammal population, they need cover. People are just too lazy to cut a hedge by hand now a days.
