Are battery hedge trimmers any good?!? Stihl HLA 65

Stihl hla 65 takes on a hedge that hasn’t been cut for a year. Will it get the job done? #stihl

Great video - Having the two stroke running the other side demonstrates the noise difference perfectly. The hla 65 is a great bit of kit - great work 👍

Cheers, just picked up a HLA 86 and 66 for silly season on the hedges, yea the noise, weight and vibration levels make the battery gear my first choice wherever possible. Thanks for the support 👍

Nice job. I first bought one thinking it would be nice and light with less vibration for some jobs but it ended up being the go to. Very productive machine.

Yea, kept my first one for best initially but soon used it for everyday work. Would rather wear out a hedge trimmer than my body👍

Hi great video, I was just wondering if you were using a spike for the henchman ladders tripod leg on that slope or was it perfectly stable with just a standard foot?

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Hi, cheers 👍 just the standard foot, they are slightly spiked which seems to grip well enough if adjusted correctly. Thanks for watching 👌

i had a teagle jetcut with a modified washing machine motor fitted to it because engine problems and fuel tank was damaged 16 to 1 oil mix move it on a angle engine would cut off

How much is it,,,I have seen varying prices,,ie 1 battery 2 battery's,,,👍👍

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Hedge cutter is around £275, battery £175, and I guess around £100 for charger. You can buy packs with it all in cheaper but generally come with the ap200 batteries which don't have as long a run time as the ap300. Maybe get a demo and prices from local dealer before committing 👍

Batteries all the way for me! Strimmer next...

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Perfect!!

[@whitevoodooman7276]

I use the 66 everyday with a ap100 it's light . Cuts beach Holly privit and hawthorn perfectly and slots nicely in the van for easy inn and out Take 2 or 3 ap100 battery's out and your good to go for most hedges

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

👍glad they're doing the job for you, I'd be lost without mine. I have 2 ap300 batteries and never fail to get through a day of trims👌 thanks for watching

[@whitevoodooman7276]

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd great stuff . haha grab a 100 when your next at a store and you'll want more of them lol They give out just as much kick power wise and make a big difference on the weight

[@darrenthompson9235]

They look good ladders. Never seen them before. Do they have a special name

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

They are tripod ladders so real stable and have adjustable legs for uneven ground, game changer for sure. These are henchman but others are available, those are 10ft ones and just taken delivery of 16ft ones for some difficult hedges, they are huge tho😬
