    I went over to Stihl battery hedge cutters a couple of years ago, long reach, extendable long reach and small hand held. Yes it is an investment for sole traders like us but I rate them highly, quieter, no fumes, powerful and less wear and tear on my pulling arm. My old petrol models are spare. But yes a pricey investment. Not ready for battery lawn mower yet though, they’re a long way from being in the same league as my petrol mowers.
    Good subject Rob. Weather has been very good here on the Sussex Riviera!

    Great vid Rob. Just a note, it doesn't take a ap300s battery to run a stihl hedge cutter. I run mine on a AP100 £95.00or if it is thick stuff AP200 £135.00 to make it as light as possible. Monday morning & the weather has just gone south after what has been a fantastic week here in the NW England.

    I’m not a professional Gardner like you guys, my Honda petrol mower cost too much to service each year so the mower was replaced with a battery powered one. Great for a none professional and an old bloke. My hedge trimmers are Stihl battery - very good. However I wanted a single source powered set of tools and the Stihl range was just too expensive to completely move to, so I appreciate why professionals find it too costly to move over to battery powered tools when petrol equivalents are much cheaper to buy and run. I have 5 different types of batteries to deal with. Great vid thank you. Regards Mike

    As you know I love my battery gear. Ego is my brand of choice. But there not better for the environment. Well, maybe at point of use. But definitely not in manufacture, transport etc.
    I honestly believe battery is the future. But it's got a way to go before it's any good for commercial use mowers.
    Plus, if you already have fully working petrol gear. Then it makes no sense to ditch it for battery in my opinion.
    But if you do ever go down the battery route, maybe if your just starting out and can afford to do so I don't think you'd ever regret it.

    nice review Rob and thats what us great about your business and experiences you do whats best for you .
    Personally I have a completely opposite view only because I do a lot of precise hedging.
    Husqvarna Battery offers 25 % blade speed over petrol thus a great finish. Also pole hedger gives me safety , more on the ground and because of the distance away from the shrub a better perspective .
    Sure battery is dearer although for the price of a petrol husqvanna pole hedger its the same as the battery with a battery and charger , In Australia husqvanna give us 20 % discount.
    Battery other than blade sharpening no maintenance, mine 4 years plus not one cent spent .. and I do a lot of hedges.
    Customers love the quietness and so do I and no vibrations and so light .
    This is just my experience Rob and not saying your way is wrong its just different experiences I guess.
    Good review

    I've gone battery - mainly for hedges - simply for the low vibes. After 30 years the petrol gear caused carpal tunnel problems. Battery strimmers are pretty crap except where less speed is useful near windows - although I still managed to smash a cold frame pane.
    Petrol does have the power advantage but going back to it on hedges is not good after getting used to the cleaner air.

    When the estate manager of a big residential garden maintenance contract that I’d had for a few years (worth £10,000 per year to me) retired, I had to reapply to the new manager for the work. They’d just undergone a big hardscaping/landscaping project, and wanted to refresh the look of the gardens. A member of the leaseholders committee wanted to bring in a gardening company they had used on other properties. The part of my pitch that persuaded them to renew my contract? Over the past six years I’d replaced my ICE hedge trimmers, mowers and strimmers with commercial grade, battery powered tools (Ego and Greenworks Commercial). No emissions and much less noise. The competition were still using petrol.
