Hello. Does the 535lk feel heavy for trimming conifers? I understand that the long extension tends to flex. I'm thinking of purchasing one. The translation is not good. Regards
It isn't a light machine compared with Electric models, but it also is not the heaviest Petrol machine. If you are spending time working with Conifers; I use it for that & often. I'd rather have the extra weight and better constant cut of the engine powering the blades. Than less power or torque of electric and a lighter or lesser machine. You can build up to using extensions over time if needed, and the slight bend or flex in them can be of use later on when you work up your arms, shoulders and core, and perhaps need a little blade bounce; to cut that awkward strand that is 4 Meters away. These 535LK's are beasts. So performance requires the weight. These are not unwieldly though. They are sporty but rugged. & they can go all day 5 days a week. (If you look after them.) I believe Stihl do carbon fibre extensions for their multi machine; but their prices are generally more than Huskies. & their stiffness and time may lead to cracks or breaks; let alone having to mollycoddle them for being carbon fibre. The blades that go with these, both the long reach and short hedge blade are EPIC. Used weekly all year around; great kit. Amazing cut. Lethal blades. Keep them away from metal or wire! ;) Hope that helps? We use at least a pair of these all year around. We do so for a reason. :)
I agree with you in many aspects regarding having power and sacrificing a little more weight, I am not a fan of electric machinery for intensive use. The reason for purchasing the 535LK is to combine it as a brush cutter for small jobs and at the same time for trimming conifers that in certain jobs require an effort to achieve with the 522HDR75X which is wonderful. I have the 555RXT but it is not the most suitable for small spaces. That being said, I will purchase the 535LK without a doubt. I am a Husqvarna user without disparaging any other brand. Thanks for the information. All the best
You are buying the right machine then. ;) We have the other machines you listed; and agree. All fine machines. The 535LK and attachments will fill in the smaller or long reach gaps your current kit list doesn't. 👍 Running the 535LK as a Strimmer and Brushcutter gives you loads of room to get busy. Check out one of our other videos about Strimmer Heads and running 16 strands of line with a 535LK. 😉😉
