good luck with the sale. I think you'd do best on Ebay though.............. I'm sure these are fine however I'd guess anyone here would be very wary about buying anything that had been used commercially..... I certainly would be. A years commercial use would probably equal some 20+ years of domestic use!!
You're right, they are well used. Still work fine though and thoroughly well looked after. We always sell on our kit when getting new, that's one of the reasons we always buy good stuff as it's easier to move on again when we no longer need it. They are of course up for sale elsewhere too, but no harm in popping them on here. £350 (£250 + £100 if you get a new motor for the 66) for 3 hedge cutters that I imagine would do at least another 2-3 seasons is pretty good going I think. Anyway, all the best.
HSA94T is a great professional grade machine especially for big runs of thick, fine annually clipped conifer and the like. Needs either a battery holster or backpack, and cable to use, of course. I have 24" version, several years old still going strong. Streets ahead in blade speed, power and build quality to the lower spec battery machines. One of the best tools I ever bought
Yeah it's been a cracker for us, but fancy getting the new 150T and can't really justify having both so thought we'd sell these on to put money towards it.
Been considering the 150T myself, the only thing putting me off (apart from the price tag!) is the additional weight from having the battery on board, even if I were to use a lightweight AP100 pack (luckily I have several as they would drain quickly in that machine). I suppose I would get used to it. Not needing a cable is a definite advantage for HSA150T of course, but in practice I barely notice it now on the HSA94. I tend not to use the cabled machines up actual ladders or for tops of hedges as it is more of a hindrance then, fine if stood on some kind of platform though. Might get a HSA130T which a slightly improved version of the HSA94, as can get a good discount on that due to it being superceded by the new model. I have the cabled "R" versions in both lengths which are good for a lot of stuff as an all-rounder, but the "T" is better suited to some jobs, that blade speed is unbelievable, I am unable to use it beyond the 2nd (of 3) speed ranges, just too rapid for me, maybe that's why my unit is still going strong after many years as not been used to full potential
I do like the idea of losing the cable but, as you mention, the cost of the 150T is steep. Not a fan of the cable, but if just doing a long straight hedge then it's not an issue. And don't use it on ladders. May even just keep the 94T until it dies if it doesn't sell as it still works fine. Just fancied something new as haven't bought a new hedge cutter for quite a while and it's always nice to get a new tool.
Saw your listing on Ebay while I was having a browse. All this talk of trimmers stimulated me to buy one early this morning ! Brand new 24 inch HSA130T for just £345 (330 + 15 delivery) inc VAT. Dealership in the southwest called Mason King. They have the 30 incher for not much more. The 130 has an improved motor to the 94, I believe. And a Stihl smart connector slot which I have no interest in, but some users are into all that I suppose. Bonus being I used Paypal 4 months interest free credit to buy it so it should have paid for itself by the end of that period.
Nice plan with Paypal and pretty good price for the 130T 👍
