Hedges should have had their first trim by now and with the belting hot weather have put on vigorous growth so they need another trim.
And if you’re looking for a new trimmer, here’s one which will do the trick, the Tanaka TCH22EAP2 (50) Petrol Hedge Trimmer.
Tanaka makes really powerful garden machinery, increasingly the choice of the professional, and this one has a 21.2 cc engine, very simple to start and giving terrific cutting power.
The 50 cm double-reciprocating blade has a 30 mm tooth gap so it can tackle thicker hedge stems and it has a front exhaust to make it more comfortable to use.
It is also fitted with a 180 degree rear twist grip handle making it easier to trim back hedge sides and tops and it weighs only 4.3 kg, a very light weight for such a powerful machine.
It costs £209, £80 less than the maker’s recommended price and has a five year warranty from Tanaka.
We deliver it the next working day. See these pages for a huge selection of petrol-powered hedge trimmers.
