" These regrow from drastic cuts very quickly and are indestructible .................. if you cut this down to the ground in the Spring , you could have something 5-6' tall by the end of the Summer. Bit late in the year now to achieve this but do i…"
"The only thing with the husky and the echo is that the trigger looks like it could catch on something and snap off. I notice that the latest stihl long reach hedge cutters have the same sort of arrangment. It may just be me be pedantic. "
"I bought the hla 85 last year and have been very impressed, almost as good for cutting as the kombi with long reach. Lighter, quieter and no mixing of fuels, elescopic makes it very long. Battery life, I have 2 x ap 200, s and they will go all day…"
"I use Stihl, an FS90. I'm on my 2nd now after 10 years and that's only because the first one was stolen! As ben says, they are easy to service and grease, there's not a lot to go wrong with them and they have none of the problems the larger 4 mix ma…"

"in the £300 and under bracket i think the Husky 520RJX is the best value for money compared to power and low vibrations -- same power as the Sthil FS90 but half the vibrations and £100 less -- ignore th retail price -- most dealer will do for around…"
"Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm ordering a new cable when they open at 9. We'll see if they charge or not. Re warranties, I'm not sure what is or isnt covered and I'm not sure I think it's a great service. As Graham says, servicing to keep the war…"
