💚🌳 you are all amazing people thank you
Taller tripods will have a wider base and more stable, game changer for taller hedge work on uneven ground
Hi Nathan maybe I need to try the bigger ones too I’d probably buy the 8-10ft ones if I buy them
I’m enjoying trying different ladders and seeing which I prefer 🙌🏼
Pete delighted you got a henchman ladder amigo. I have the 8ft which I found has being a game changer for my business👍 great video fella.
Damien from Cork City
Thanks mate it belies to a subscriber who kindly let me use it try before you buy
I’m looking at getting the 8ft ones
Thanks for watching buddy 😎🙌🏼
I have a 8 foot headman ladder and find it extremely stable and feel very safe on it. I wouldn’t have the rubber feet when on soft ground as the claws provide more stability too. Great video.
Thanks James I still haven’t got round to getting one as yet I’ve still got my little giant ladders
At somepoint I’ll invest the 12ft tripods are brilliant too I’ve since tried the bigger ones and loved them
Hi Pete nice video loving the music DJ PETE the tattoo gardener ✌🏼🤘🏼🎶🎵🎶
Nice of Paul to let you use his tripod ladder
Just seen you got a KMA135R nice man awesome machine great combi
Thanks rob I really try hard when picking music it’s really catchy music I love it
I used to do some dj stuff for abit of fun abit like eye ball Paul Kevin and Perry style 😂
Great fun thanks for watching buddy have a great day tomorrow
Henchman Ladders are the way to go with hedge cutting. I’ve got 14foot with 3 adjustable legs on order atm
Nice one Carl they are massive
By cheap by twice you wont beat heanchman the best out there had mine for 10 years still like new
I’ve had lots of people say they do some just like henchman just as good but cheaper
I can’t judge as I’ve not tried them all
These little ones I’m trying are henchman ones and feel strong
You can just buy a new tank, an easy swap over.
The 3 legs are alot more secure on the bigger one. I use the 10foot hendon ladders. The bottom 2 legs are spread very wide apart, very secure, also all 3 legs are adjustable so its always stable and flat on uneven ground.
My mate just sent me a link £58 so I’ll sort that then have petrol and battery
I brought the 12 ft,but every jobs so different. story of my life always needed a extra inch,definitely a game changer great investment..looking back should have gone a bit bigger.
The only thing I like about my little giant ladders is they start small and full extented to 14 ft and can open up like a massive ladder really good allrounders but so many people rate the tripods I just wanted to try and see if I was missing something
I bought the 10ft henchman couple months ago, really stable, like Nathan said they’re much wider at the bottom. You won’t be disappointed if you get one.
That might be the way to go I was looking at 8ft but the 10 might be best
Yeah I’d go for the 10ft if I were you, just gives you that extra height when needed. I use it on lower hedges no problem. Also you have about 2ft extra height in the legs.
Nice job. Greetings from Costa Rica
Thank you so much really appreciate you watching 💚🙌🏼
if its the petrol tank you can use TARYL PUTTY made for petrol tanks , or replace the tank see micks mowers Ryobi strimmer has starting and running issues...20 .48 on time line hope it helps
I’ll definitely get it fixed then run it alongside my new battery combi
Hi Pete, yes you can get a new tank on the kombi any stihl dealer can get you the parts drawing and order the parts for you. I wish I had the space for tripod ladders. Using a trailer at the moment so have combi ladders which I do OK with. It's always about adapting to what we have. Great video as always mate.
Thanks mate really nice to know I can fix parts I know I’ve got a battery combi now but the petrol one still has a purpose in my work
You'll love the stihl battery combi. Everyone that bought them from my last employer loved them, it was only the price that put people off them. I use the makita 18v x2 combi and the hedgecutter is a beast. Customers love the lack off noise nearly as much as I love not wearing eardefenders. I run an inverter in my glove box, just have to remember to run the engine for 15 mins if charging more than 2 sets of batteries without driving. I always carry a spare starter battery or the boost pack just in case. It's a learning curve just how much you can get out of the limited power you have.
i found the same with henchmans also the bigger one take up alot of space on the roof rack with the legs spread out but good for hills
I’ve heard alot of good things said about the bigger ladders so this might well be the best option for me
Well done Pete👍
Tripod ladders are a game changer I would not be without mine now.
I’m sure you could get a replacement tank for your combi.
I see you’ve gone for it on the battery kit😀👍
Battery combi is brilliant mark i will get my petrol tank replaced for the other combi good do have a back up
I think if I go ahead with tripods I’ll get the 8ft ones
i see stihl brought out some new kit like combi the tank you can solder melt cables ties into in just empty tank run feul out and leave lid off to evapourate whats left for a day then do it
Ahh thanks Russel I didn’t realise that bud I’ll deffo try this
Hi Pete thank you for your vids, they are very helpful and I enjoy watching them. I am looking at buying little giant ladders as they are a lot more compact than the henchman. At the moment I am using my car so space is limited. What make of little giant do you use.pete?
I’ve got the 5 run it’s a great size perfect and compact but opens up to a massive ladder when needed for them bigger jobs
Good ladder, you do a neat job cutting hedges..Have you tried getting yourself a 4_6meter tarpaulin and lay out before cutting and keep dragging along with you....saves a lot of cleaning up clippings..
I’ve been thinking about getting a large tarp would be a huge help
Thanks for the kind words we try our best 💚🙌🏼
Hi Pete a bit of super glue on the tank problem solved
It’s getting fixed one way or another mate 😂
Glad to see you got some help your on big ass gardens and doing all the cutting and clraring really takes it out of ya or it does me at least waitning fir next vid a missed this one so just dropped back on it wen will you be doing a proper comparison and your thoughts on ya new Combi a know ua done a video but wasnt enough lol
Soon mate just got lots going on got a few personal things going on outside of work and it’s hard you know
I feel far more stable on my Little Giant ladders than my henchman. Like you say I feel that I'm going to topple over "Can't be the case though as most Pro's use them.
It’s really strange I’m sure it’s just a case of trying to get used to them
Nice One Pete petrol tank should be a easy fix Stihl parts are normally not to badly priced 🤞On the holiday camp they had big tripod ladders for the zip lines only used a small tripod ladder they throw out 😀 Thanks again
Just brought the KMA135R battery combi and my god it’s brilliant way better than I expected I will however fix the petrol combi for both options moving forward
I’ve only used the tripods for one day so far and it’s different from what I’m used too but wanting to have more options in my tool collection 😂
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 you wont be disappointed with a KMA 135R 👍
@@DJC995 it’s honestly the best thing I’ve brought in years
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 If you have 3 min to waste I have a vid Alpaca fleece cleaning 2021 we are using the KMA 135r with the blower attachment may be of interest or not
Great vid. Although I hate it when my neighbour constantly has fires at the bottom of his garden which L shapes behind ours. It stinks and during the summer we can’t open our windows. Are there alternatives?
It’s a difficult one mate I’m lucky that my customers don’t really have neighbours just woodland so lighting fires isn’t a massive problem
I think the best option would be to talk to the neighbour and see if they can do it after 6pm it’s never easy tho with neighbours
I had the 16 foot Hendon, and they are very stable, but flex quit a bit as you go up, being scared of heights, they are no good to me, so selling those, I have the 10ft version, and love them,
Morning reas hope your keeping well buddy wow the big boys I’d be scared climbing those lol lm funny about being up ladders or looking over high buildings but love flying figure that one out 😂
The 10ft seem about right for height mate
Have a great day mate
Henchmen are incredibly good especially on uneven ground, you need to try a bigger one and I wouldn’t use the rubber feet on soil or on grass as the feet claws add to the stability.
I wouldn’t use anything else 10f 12f 16f and as long as you set them up correctly I’ve never felt safer especially the 16f
Hi mate completely agree awesome ladders the bigger ones feel safer
Had one for about 2 year total class for stability
It’s really nice to get peoples feed back from their personal experiences with the tripod ladders it’s does help me out massively
I love to try everything I’ll probably end up getting one at somepoint I’ll be using Paul’s tomorrow and Friday
Hi mate, loving the vids, little question, Ive got a honda 476 atm but looking to upgrade to a roller mower for possibly next year. Would you recommend a hayter or the honda 536?
Looking forward to your vid about the electric tools, keep up the good work 👌🏻👍🏻
Both great go for the Honda if finances allow mate think they are similar price but worth paying the few hundred extra for the Honda
My hayter is great but I’d rather have the Honda
I’d swap if the client asked me
Thanks for watching buddy your support is massively appreciated 🙏
Hope your keeping well Pete? I see you purchased a new stihl battery combi, ive got one myself there decent
Hi I’m keeping very well I hope you are too
Yes it’s the best purchase I’ve made in awhile sthil really built something special here I’m buzzy to use it tomorrow and Friday poor Wayne might not get a look in lol 😂
Thank you for watching have a great evening and day tomorrow 💚🙌🏼
I once emptied the tank, and melted the plastic abit to close the hole.
Good work again buddy.
Can I be cheeky and ask how much you charge for hourly work. I know this is a real awkward question. Pricing would make a good topic for a blog. 💚
£25-£30
£30 is the going rate however I’m trying to get away from hourly rate and do a price per job there’s more money in it for less time
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83
100 % mate.
Took me a long time to fully realise this. Some customers were getting way too much work done TBH.
I’m in Yorkshire, and would struggle to get £30. (Tight arses)
Your right-cut, blow and go is the way forward.
Respect. Thanks 🙏
Used our bigger tripod ladders once and put them to the back of the shed, so much heavier and clunky. And because they are so much wider at the bottom hard to manoeuvre around shrubbery. Still not sure on them
Hi mate I’m the same it’s 50/50 with tripod ladders
The little giants seem really good all round but heavy
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 cool I might look into a set!
Hi Peter you did one hour frist job I take it you charge for two hours. How many hours do you you do on each job but charge for two? Taking Wednesday off is that a four day week or you working Saturday? Great video and lovely gardens 👍
Hi Carl
Yes mate two man hours I charge for two people every hour at every job that way I cover both mine and Wayne’s money then any left goes back into the business for tax and new tools or bits for the van if it’s needed
A 4 day week this week we condensed 5 days into 4 so worked longer days
It’s full on at the mo 5 days every week and doing the odd Saturday we won’t slow down now it’s flat out now through the winter
We mainly did smaller jobs this day but we do go to some big ones we’re starting a few new clients soon so very excited to share them on the channel
Thanks for watching mate
Hi mate I have the Hendon 8 feet ones , better then henchmen I think as I have used my mates , and I think Hendon’s are a bit cheaper . I have 6,8and12 feet ones
I’m going to try these abit more and see what I think before committing
I appreciate Paul letting me borrow his id go for the 8ft I think
I don’t think the Hendon ladders have the 3 leg adjustment option including the work platform,you get what you pay for!
@@ianbusby2845 I’ve been recently using henchman’s 6ft and 14ft and the bigger ones were much better
I think your right you pay for what you get tool wise and being that I’ve got loads of tattoos the same applys to that aswell
I guess anything in life
Yes all three leg adjustment 👍
Pete any more thoughts on the henchman ladders ?
Cheers.
Hi Alan as you’ve seen I’ve only tried them yesterday so I’ll give them a few more days to see how I go before returning them to Paul
They seem ok but not as steady as my little giant ladders but I want to do abit more work with them before I commit to buying anything as they are very expensive I’m currently 50/50 with them it’s very much like marmite it’s a love them or hate them I just can’t decided yet
Got the 6ft, 8ft & 10ft ladders wouldn't use anything else tbh. Take the rubber feet of don't need them
Great to have a range of ladders for different heights these ladders below to a subscriber I didn’t realise they could come off
I’ll try them again tomorrow
Bps ladders just as good but much much cheaper
I’ve had a look if I commit and buy any I’ll be getting the cheaper ones rather than buying henchman ladders
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 bps 12 foot 3 leg extendables delivered to your door the next day for £403 pound, there a game changer.
Henchman Ladders????? Do you just use it for Oddjobs..
At the moment I’m borrowing some I use little giant ladders normally but want some tripods
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 You missed the James Bond Reference LOL
@@pauljackson1981 see it now lol 😂
Put some duct tape on it till you get a new tank
Good shout bots some in my van the gorilla tape
