Husqvarna 520iHT4 PRO REVIEW - Real Job First Look

This is my first look review of the Husqvarna 520iHT4 Telescopic 36V Battery Powered Electric Hedge Trimmer. This is a first day look at the unit on a real job tackling this monster cypress.
I will provide my thoughts on its performance, ease of use, power and battery life.
Equipment:
Husqvarna 520iHT4
Husqvarna BLi 300 Battery

Thank you for excellent review. Having purchased the same trimmer I'd recommend fitting the tip protector, can save accidental damage when operating next to walls and fencing.

My smaller one has that- it’s great. I didn’t get one with the purchase

Great video mate. Best hedgers on the market for sure!

Not sure if anyone’s already mentioned it but lithium batteries, I read don’t let em run down to the last drop. It can significantly shorten the life span of the battery. Thanks for the video. From a fellow British hedge trimming professional, it’s cool to see an American (I think?) hedge trimmer in Australia 😂

I’m from Canada. They say I’m slow ehhh. 😂 loving it down under. Battery update: that bli 500 is awesome. Trimmed all day yesterday (lighter job than this) and used 1 bar. I heard the same about those lithium batts too. Thank you

@@adelaidehillshedges oh man my bad! 😂 wow that's epic to go all day on one battery! My Stihl AP300S last half a day, which is fine for me looking forward to your next video, cheers

Thank you for sharing. I have the Husqvarna battery weed wacker, handheld blower, top-handle chainsaw and rear-handle chainsaw with the BLI 200 and 300 batteries. The battery stuff feels like a toy regarding weight but works like a heavy-duty tool. I have no regrets whatsoever. I want to get that model for cutting perennials on the ground. I think it would work better than the short-handled one. I'm curious of your opinion.

[@adelaidehillshedges]

This is the telescoping trimmer so probably not suitable for low work. It’s quite heavy too but for ladder work and tall stuff it’s king. I just bought the new model too handle saw. It’s seriously the best

[@MHumanoid]

I noticed you had a Stihl battery blower. Do you prefer Husqvarna trimmers over Stihl on battery?

[@adelaidehillshedges]

Hey, it’s actually a gas Stihl blower. The low end pro grade unit. Ive used them for years and I just don’t think the battery blowers are up to par yet. I would rather spend 250$ on a gas blower and have more money for battery trimmers, saws, batteries etc.
