- Explaining and showing what the attachment is that i use on some of my hedge trimmers. Pruning this slightly overgrown lonicera nitida hedge with the Stihl HS 87 T 40" hedge trimmer using the Stihl catcher plate.
Thanks for Watching 👍
Wish my Echo SRM-225 had attachments for hedging. It’s a powerful machine and was starting to bog down and found the mesh spark arrestor screen in the exhaust was plugged up with carbon. So I cleaned it but tried the trimmer without it and boy the sucker is now a Beast. Much more power and uses less fuel. Really pleased with it.
You can probably get an echo hedge trimmer attachment head for it and bolt it straight onto the shaft 👍
Thanks for explaining that lovely piece of tool. I have been enjoying your channel especially when you used that tool . The hedges are so beautiful , they look artificial . I really love the video , where you cut back a hedge . The way you cut it , it came off in one piece like a wall . Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming . Thank you.
Thank you very much 👌
nice comment
I use a narrow plastic rake to clean the tops of mine. I have a Stihl HS-45 with a 28" bar. I take my Husqvarna riding mower and grind the clippings up in the grass. You only have a few branches that didn't grind up to rake. 🐀🐾
👍
I have the rough version of this hedge cutter with catcher. Great bit of kit very handy to use and powerful as well. So easy and fast to use. If only I could cut hedges straight.
👌yeh i have that 1 as well, prob 1 of my fav trimmers to use. I think we all want to be able to cut straighter 🤣
Are your blades straight Marcus...
@@losttheplot26 I just don’t have the skill to use
@@losttheplot26 see ur point now yep the blades are straight all be it I bough this machine second had. I do have other hedge trimmers two but struggle to do a good job. My skill level on hedges is not the best.
Used these in the past and they are great! Unfortunately most of the hedges I cut these days are not exactly ornamental shall we say! 🤣 For smaller hedges and shrubs I use the Husqvarna 122HD60 with a Stihl HS45 as backup, and for the big stuff, I use the Husqvarna 522HDR75X with a Stihl HS81R as backup. For long reach, I use the Husqvarna 535LK pro combi! All very tough and reliable machines in my opinion!
How does the pro husky compare to the hs81 mate?
@@RJLgardens. I absolutely love my HS81R and thought nothing could touch it, However the 522HDR75X has the same grunt but far more comfortable to use! Don't see any videos on it, but would highly recommend it. The Husqvarna 522HDR75X, a little known masterpiece!!!
I didn't know you could get them. Just ordered one for mine. Many thanks for the video.
No problem 👍
Looks like it helps the blade glide across the hedge also as opposed to digging in too far. I’m sold on it. Dear father Xmas……..
No doesn't help with the gliding along the hedge, that's still down to the operator unfortunately 😀
Hedge looks fabulous! 🌹
Thank you! 😊
I have enjoyed your video RJL. You are certainly very good at your work ! Coming from no-knowledge to learning a few things about professional trimmings / gardening; thank you for your tutorial :) Hope you can increase your speaking-voice volume for your future videos or use a better-capacity microphone device. I have increased my pc volume but still hard to catch your words clearly. GOD BLESS...
Thanks for that. I will check the audio next time as well, it sounded ok my end.👍
Outstanding, you have a good eye for lines. Well done sir...
👍
I could see where this whould come in super handy but with a double sided hedge cutter I just go back and forth and mulch everything up and most of the time there's Notting to pull off the top of hedge's 🤔also that's a super nice healthy hedge 🤠👍
Yeh you would only notice leaving bits of mulch on the top on these sort of low dense hedges, you can just about get away with it on your standard type hedges. This hedge was a mess a few years back and is just starting to recover now. it had put on a lot of growth 😃👍
@@RJLgardens did the Stihl come with that catcher ? Or buy extra
@@harryfinch4986 Had to buy it extra mate, tight arses 🤣
@@RJLgardens bloody Stihl 😅 charge all that and don't give you jack sh!t. Makita or echo 👌
@@harryfinch4986 Tbf the dealer did chuck it in when i asked for it for free 😂. Not tried any of the latest echo stuff and have a few makitas, still mainly stihl for me tho atm mate 👍
awesome - i have a ryobi with an add-on attachment and was such a dummy and wondered how to use it... thanks for the video..
No problem 👍
Thank you for you video, very beautiful work and so straight. I always have a problem with ticks and other insects when I go into the garden. always get bitten by someone. how do you protect yourself?
Thanks, dont really use anything, you can get repellents if needed
I have wasps in mine. Use a fogger/mister and add Wisdom TC mixed to it. You can use Ortho Home Defense. The chemical shouldn't hurt most hedges. More delicate stuff you can use Neem oil. 🐀🐾
@@djratino Thanks for the info. I had ticks , when I was in the taller grass, after that I always find some on me, I probably have delicious blood, or maybe I should use Wisdom TC on my skin to protect. In Turkey in the resorts, the plants are also sprayed in the afternoon, and there are no 🐝 , 🦟 and 🪰.
@@elenavalikov3862 Wisdom TC should not be used on your skin! It's an industrial pesticide sold at Tractor Supply. Try lemongrass or citronella essential oil.
Found it lol. I subscribed to learn more 😂 Edit...how brilliant is that attachment 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome! Thank you!
Beautiful work!!
Thanks 👍
That looked cool. When you trimmed the front (left handed I think) that angle looked good.
👌
Really nice and clean 👍
Thanks for watching 👍
That’s pretty cool how much do you charge for a hedge that long?
That’s such a cool idea nice video mate
Cheers mate, its a handy tool to have 👍
Good job bro ,please can I know how much it cost to do small / medium/big garden ??
You can topiary natida bagglers gold any shape you like.
nice tool, i'll do by myself using a thin plastic panel and some heat 👍😉
Yeh easy to make them 👌👍
@@RJLgardens i've seen some of your videos bro, you are a very technical gardener, great 👍😉
That was fun!
Cheers 👍
Nice work mate 👌
Thanks 👍
Do you know if it‘s possible to attach this STIHL catcher blade to hedge trimmers of other manufacturers, e.g. Atika? I have a HB 60 N and truly believe this kind of attachment would make my hedge trimming life a little bit easier for me…thanks in advance.
It would be easier to make your own one out of some sheet metal or something as they are normally made to suit each hedge trimmer so it wouldnt fit properly without modifying it.
Very helpfull innovation
Definitely 👍
I wish that accessory was available in the USA
Would of thought you could get them over there? 🤷♂️
@@RJLgardens nope, not for stihl hedge trimmers, I'd have to order it from somewhere overseas, and pay for international shipping
And sir can u plss tell which soil does you use for your bushes to grow well?
good job mate
Thanks 👍
Cool. Do you know if it s possible to have this with a hs45 60cm Blade ? Because stihl dont sell it. Thanks
No dont think they make 1 for the hs45, They do make a clip on catcher plate, but i dont think it fits that model.
Just too good.
👍
Do you prefer petrol or battery I have husqvarna battery hedge trimmers but there not lasting as long as my stihl petrol gear.
I like both and I pick and choose which is most suitable for the job at hand. I've not tried the husky battery trimmers. I think most battery kit needs more work on the durability.
Love it.
Great job man
Cheers 👍
Can you show how did you attached this cather plate?? I want this but not getting in my country so can you guide if i want to make that plate at home how can i make?
Hello from New Zealand brother .
I’m a lawn mower but I want to get into also garden care and maintenance.
How do quote for hedge trimming ?
So that plate. How dose it attach I was looking at making one
It just sits on the top bar and held on by the blade screws. Easy to make
Great video. Am I getting mixed up or are you an ex bootneck. All the best.
Cheers mate. No not me pal 👍
Sorry got mixed up. Keep the great content coming. 👍🏻
❤️ your work
Thanks 👍
From where did you buy that catcher plate
I don't do flat edges. Taper mine off. Three angles. Let more light in
I do my hedges in a ball. No angles. Let more light in.
@@stephenhapgood735 you can't do it.
@@losttheplot26 My spirit is strong. I can & I do!!
With a spoon
@@losttheplot26 Yes indeed, you understand this method too. Took me five solid years to graduate from ladle to the dessert. So many tricks & subtleties but the effect - on say Luma - is extraordinary & literally cannot be believed.
Is this product available in Australia?
Not a clue sorry 👍
What kind of sthil hedge is that one ?
