Burgeoning. That’s the word. Hedges are doing that at the moment with really vigorous new growth and now’s the time to trim them back.
Hedges should be cut at least three times a year, and some will need more than that, so an investment in a good hedge trimmer is obviously essential.
So here are two machines from Kawasaki, a leading manufacturer of garden machinery which is often top of the list for people with large gardens and professionals as well.
The Kawasaki HTK-60X Petrol Hedgetrimmer has 55cm long blades which give a very clean cut and has a 22.5cc engine.
This engine has solid-state ignition to start very quickly and has been designed for a long life.
The rear handle twists through 180 degrees to make cutting hedge sides and tops more easy and it has a blade-brake as an added safety feature.
It is very well balanced and weighs just 5.8kg.
It costs £359, £20 less than the recommended price and has a five year domestic warranty, two years for professional use. Delivery is free the next working day.
The Kawasaki HTK-75X Petrol Hedgetrimmer is a similar machine but this one has 69cm double-sided blades.
The 22.5cc engine is an easy-starter designed for the long, demanding working life which professionals require.
The dual-reciprocating blades will give a clean cut even through thicker hedge growth and it can be used for long periods thanks to its advanced vibration-suppressing design and light weight.
It costs £399, £30 less than the recommended price and has a two-year commercial warranty, five years for domestic use. Next working day delivery is free.
