I use a Stihl KMA 130 R It’s a good machine for around the house , but for professional use, I don’t know, I prefer the KM 131 or the HS 82 RC-E. The most money I ever made with the KMA 130 R with the strongest battery from Stihl , the AP 500 S it was 70 % less compared to the most money I Ever made after a day of work with KM 131 R.(I used that day 8 litre of gasoline Aspen 2 Alchelyate Benzin) Even after I payed for the gasoline it was difference day and night. The KMA 130 R will not even start if you tighten the bolts on the knife just a little too tight,the book says to tighten them at 8NM, I always need to tighten them 6-7 Nm otherwise it won’t budge… So yeah, I use the electric machine only on private clients and hourly rate.

How you like new holland tractor? Better then jhon deer?
@benjaminsagau5 ай бұрын
The guys driving are subcontractors with own machines. The reason they use New Holland is because the dealer is close by and reasonable priced. I personally prefer Kubota overall, or anything with a Deutz engine. Mainly because of dependence/reliability and easy to maintain and not too expensive to run.Diesel consumption /Service are very accessible. John Deere is great ( if compared to a car I would say a Mercedes)but I would guess for a bigger company with a better economy 😀. The proprietary stuff they have/right to repair and not selling original parts outside authorized services/dealers (that keeps prices really high), make many small Danish companies to avoid them at all cost.

I actually thought the same thing. The fact that Denmark has virtually zero resources is a good motivator. By selective recycling, they gather resources in a way, although an expensive way of gathering. The plan is all Europe(roughly 750 million people) should follow Denmark footsteps when it comes to Recycling. Time will tell..

What do you do if you dont have dense growth ? @Benjamin Sagau
@benjaminsagau6 ай бұрын
If it’s an old hedge, sometimes it helps to cut it very much, like to the point you almost think it will die ( ONLY IN WINTER TIME).The time for the hedge to get back to looking nice is 3-4 years tough. I had very good results with that on beech(if that’s the hedge you think about) Another tip I could give you is to give special designed fertilizers in the autumn and spring. Also, if you want to have the best hedge in town, instead of 1 cut a year try to do a cut every 2 months. The nicest and most dense hedges I maintain are the ones that are cut multiple times a year. The reason for the hedges dense growth is that the plant always tries to find new areas to grow if a branch gets cut regularly.

When I trim hedges, I make sure they are wider at the bottom than at the top, at about a 10º angle. That way it looks straight still, yet bottom branches get light too at all times of the day. So less die-back at the bottom.
@benjaminsagau7 ай бұрын
In the old times, when there used to be a lot of snow, people here in Denmark used to cut the hedges like you say, some even sharper up to 20-30 degrees incline on both sides of hedge, it was done that way due to the snow, if it was trimmed small at the top, the snow would not have place to settle. If the snow settles, the hedge sometimes falls on its side. It’s very rare to get request to cut that way tough. Most people want it level. To the point they bring the spirit level to check before paying. That’s why, I showed the way it’s done in 99% of cases in my experience.(this is the easiest for me anyway)

@@benjaminsagau Spirit level? Holy moly... I'm sure you're paid more than I, but at least I don't have to put up with that lol I see your point though. If that's what the customer wants, that's what the customer gets. I trim city owned hedges that cannot be done with a machine. They don't really care if it's completely straight, they want it done cheap. But I do care. I can't use a rope to get it perfectly straight, but I'm doing my best eyeballing it, taking a few steps back now and then to see if it's straight. And the sides at an angle is pretty much muscle memory now.
