Great job. Looks fantastic.

[@adelaidehillshedges]

Thanks. If this horse could trim instead of race I’d be rich! New video coming this week

The horse is the star here.

Hello, I kept the volume low to save your ears. Thanks for watching, Colin

[@dwilliams6346]

Hi Colin. What's the weight difference like on these electric Husqy's compared to petrol? I used to struggle big time with hedges of that size keeping a Stihl telescopic aloft for long periods to get a levelled top.

[@adelaidehillshedges]

Overall the machine is lighter. However, I have noticed that the length of the articulating head is longer than what I'm used to with stihl and that the head weights about as much as the motor so the balance is different. The telescopic units are not for me. You can buy an extension piece for the husky or stihl units. The stihl one is longer and made of carbon fiber. But over all I think the husky units are better made now. I still primarily use a gas unit at work for the power. You'd be best going into a husky shop and swinging one around with a battery TBH.@@dwilliams6346

Is that the Husqvarna 525iHE4 if so what’s it like please

[@masesharp6009]

Awesome job! What are you spraying on your hedger, btw?

[@adelaidehillshedges]

Hey, thank you. I use multi lube or wd40 while cutting and then blade cleaner before I put it back in the sheath. WD40 is probably the best imo. I’ve tried all the lithium grease and pricier stuff but it’s not worth the $$.

[@masesharp6009]

@@adelaidehillshedges Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yup, WD40 is the bees knees.

Got to love that Husqvarna battery equipment? Don't know what they've done but there's some proper voodoo in those packs !!?? There's nothing else on the market that comes close to them, not even the EGO stuff or Milwaukee gear. So light and small and yet powerful and long running.
Fantastic job too, I wish I had your eye and skill. Looks a million dollars, and all done in some pretty hot Adelaide weather !?
Good stuff

[@bioletsmakeiteasy]

What is that plant called?

[@adelaidehillshedges]

Melaleuca

[@davegill7614]

My toxic trait is that i could do this 😅

[@adelaidehillshedges]

Nothing toxic about hedge trimming. Get out there and do it. Good fitness and vitamin d and fresh air if you’re using electric. This one was easy, no ladder.

[@davegill7614]

@@adelaidehillshedges not much vitamin d in the uk mate 😀😀
