This has been recently realized by me that I'm burning up valuable time putzing around with my Ryobi 40v hedge trimmers. They're only meant for maintained booxwoods and other light work. The worst part is I intentionally avoid accounts that have more than a little bit of bush maintenance. I don't know why I didn't come to Jesus about this earlier but I'm here now.
Gas, electric, hand crank, hamster wheel, I'm not trying to walk into this like I do with my trusty Ryobi 40v powerhead. I would prefer electric obviously but it's less important with something that will tackle overgrown stuff. Now, @sagesove has instilled confidence in me that the Husqvarna battery platform is one to run with. I will admit that I would like to go in that direction, we're all only human and I can't remove all my bias and personal wants but please anyone suggest anything that you like.
What really confuses me is what would be a good all around capable hedge trimmer? Something like this that is a traditional hedge trimmer in my mind. Btw, this is what I run.
What about something like this? I've seen crews trimming big and small stuff with these types of setups. Might I get an
attachment capable powerhead and run a commercial hedge attachment?
Can I approach this looking for an all around type unit or is there enough reason to get a hand style like my Ryobi pictured and a pole type? The pole type would allow me to begin creeping into running a commercial style powerhead but I need to stay focused on the main theme here and that's taking a step further into this trade and rocking out bushes with efficiency.
