High hedges are always a pain for gardeners and can be hazardous to cut with a conventional hedge trimmer while perched atop a tall ladder.
Long-reach trimmers make the process much easier and here’s one from a popular manufacturer which will do the job in safety.
The Mitox 266-LRH Long-Reach Petrol Hedgetrimmer has a 25.4 cc engine which has a full crank and 40 cm dual reciprocating blades to give a neat, clean cut.
The cutting bard head is articulating letting you reach difficult corners and to shape the hedge top as you wish. It makes using the machine much more comfortable as well.
The trimmer weighs 6.1 kg and has an overall length of 229 cm.
You can also buy a handy attachment for trimming back overhanging branches, a 10 in chain pruner for £79 and a brushcutter kit for £59.
It costs £229, has a two year warranty and free next working day delivery.
