Ten top machines to trim back all types of hedges – and the tops

Maybe we haven’t all got topiary like this, but neat hedges with vertical sides and perfectly level tops announce to the world, here lives someone who takes a pride in their garden.

And now’s the time to get out the hedgetrimmer for the major cut of the year – You may already have given them a light haircut but now you can give them a proper short back and sides.

So here are ten top hedgetrimmers all at the keenest prices from battery-powered models,  which are lighter to use than traditional petrol-powered machines and then on to long-reach machines to trim back hedge-tops without getting out ladders to give you the height – never the most enjoyable task.

The first is the Cobra H50-24V Cordless Hedgetrimmer, light and simple to use and ideal for small runs of hedging.

Power is from a 24Vbattery which keeps its charge when not in use and will re-charge in two hours.

Being cordless there is no trailing cable to get in the way making it easier to use than the old electric trimmers which had a trailing cable.

It gives clean neat cut and has 50cm double sided blades which have a 15mm tooth gap.

It also has two-speeds to select according to the job in hand and has a blade guard and needs both hands top operate – a useful safety feature.

It weighs just 2.4kg and is light enough for virtually any gardener to use. When not in use there is a protective blade cover.

It costs £66.99, £10 off the recommended price, has a two-year warranty and is delivered FREE the next working day.

The next is new and exclusive to MowDirect and from a range which we helped to develop.

The Redback E522DQ-2Ah Cordless Hedgetrimmer has a 40V motor with a lithium-ion battery made by a leading Japanese company and has two 56cm double-sided dual reciprocating blades.

The rear handle rotates to make it easier to trim back odd-shaped hedges and makes it easier to trim sides and means left-handers can use it.

It has been  designed with a blade-brake which stops it quickly in an emergency and also has a deflector to move away the clippings as you work. If you prefer to work without it the deflector can be quickly and easily removed.

It costs £169 compared with the recommended price of £286 and is delivered FREE the next working day with the lithium-ion battery, battery charger and a power belt to hold the battery.

And now, an electric machine designed to trim the tops of tall hedges.

The Cobra LRH40E Electric Long-Reach Hedgetrimmer and a maximum length of 185cm and above all is light – it weighs only four kg.

At the business and there are 39cm double-reciprocating blades with a 20mm tooth gap to give a clean neat cut without chewing up the hedge stems.

The cutter head articulate through 90 degrees making it easier to trim hedge tops – even thicker, older growth.

It is supplied with 10 metres of cable.

The trimmer costs £99.99, £10 off the recommended price and it has a one-year warranty. We deliver it FREE the next working day.

Now petrol-powered machines and starting with a best-seller from a favourite British company.

The Mountfield MHJ2424 Double-Bladed Petrol Hedgetrimmer with a 61cm blade, is an excellent workhorse machine for longer runs of all types of hedging.

This has super-long 61cm blades, double-sided and dual reciprocating with a 28cm gap between the teeth so they can cope with thicker stems.

It costs £219, a £70 saving on the recommended price and is delivered FREE the next working day with a five-year warranty.

The Tanaka is a revelation. It’s light, great quality, cuts like a knife through butter and starts with the first pull of the cord. Highly recommended!’ said a recent customer.

The next one is exclusive to us at MowDirect and a machine for the keen amateur and professional alike and is from a leading Italian garden machinery manufacturer.

The Tanaka TCH22E-CP2 (78) Petrol Hedgetrimmer has super-long 78cm dual-reciprocating blades and yet weighs only 5.2kg.

It has very low vibration levels which will appeal to professional gardeners and has a 21.1cc engine with a unique sound reduction system, again making it more comfortable to use.

The business end has two 52cm double sided blades and a cutting head which rotates 90 degrees so you can reach odd areas and still deliver a level cut. And yet the weight is only 3.5kg.

New and exclusive it costs just £199, £107 off the recommended price and comes with a battery, charger and a belt to carry the battery. There is a three-year warranty, FREE next working day delivery and the battery can be used with other equipment in the Redback range.
