new hedge clipper too short

[Smittie]

Hi Matt, I ordered the Extreme 3 place trimmer rack and I freaking love it!!!!!! I have one problem though I recently replaced my hedge trimmer that was long enough to fit the rack. I now have the echo shc-225. I shortened the distance between the racks by 3 inches and it still is too short. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated as I dont wanna lay the hedge trimmer in the back of the truck. Thanks Smittie.
