Suggestions for long pole electric hedge trimmer?

[oasis1frog]

1.8m tall hedge on top of a 1.8m high retaining wall, so 3.6m altogether, will be building a 1m high platform to stand on. Any suggestion for a long pole hedge trimmer, battery is best ?

Hi @oasis1frog 

Ic  your platform is for this retaing wall and  hedge. You  might need taller ladders than previously suggested.  It isnt about ladder height as it is about ladder sability. bigger ladder has wider feet.

I use  this ryobi for hedge trimming and it goes well and cuts modestly thick branches  The  head tilts  so the blade is flush/flat to the ground so you can  do a square  cut hedge from lower down.

You will need to buy battery for it  TRy to buy this unit battery included is  cheaper.

Thanks.

It's great to see @Jewelleryrescue has provided a suggestion @oasis1frog.

The Ryobi battery pole hedge trimmer would be a great choice, and you might actually get away without the platform, though it could be a bit of a stretch.

Please let us know if you have questions.
