A wonderfully safe and lightweight little machine, with no dangerous highspeed flails catapulting hedge limbs etc about like missiles. The little MF35X was purring along like a kitten under no pressure what so ever. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah but if you just keep taking bits off like that every few weeks OK, no collecting to do but before we got our flail hedger cutting 1-2 years growth with one of those is PAINFULLY slow then you've got the non-job (As I called it) of collecting all the trimmings and burning them. We had a 400 acre farm and I dreaded hedging really., it used to take weeks and weeks when I could have been busy doing other and more productive tasks like ploughing, drilling etc. Flail hedgers are good in the correct hands (i.e. not trying to cut really thick stuff) Honestly I was glad to see the back of our cutterbar hedger.
Good day from Ontario Canada. What alot of video's from England always wondered why hedges were along fence rows, thought maybe no fence behind it, now I see there is. Why? Thanks
We have them for farm/house boundaries and it's our duty for wildlife and insects. Without a healthy wildlife population, kiss good bye to good pollination and crop.
hedges were planted hundreds of years ago when wire for fences was not available,if the hedge is laid every twenty years or so you don't need a fence,unfortunately laying hedges is slow ,skilled work so most hedges are just trimmed every year and a fence is run alongside.
