hi from scotland get well soon all the best

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thank you

[@landscapingspecialist]

5:07 EXACTLY what I was saying. I accidentally depress that when I switch my grip. When that happens, I have to stop, click up twice to get back to speed 3. They need to redesign this area of all their battery machines IMO. It’s a wonky cumbersome setup. On the KMA 130 R it DOES REQUIRE the operator presence switch to be depressed before you can pull the throttle on. I find it no coincidence that we both had the same gripe with this grip setup.

[@overlander123]

Another informative and amusing video. Battery gear is good. Summer there, winter here in Oz.

[@magnusjonsen9973]

Love the bloopers 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now I know what I gone get next.

Super produit j'ai déjà le hl 94 c'est le la bombe 😍

[@landscapingspecialist]

Just did a large hedge/brush cutting job. Decided to get the KMA 130 R to run one of our many scyth/hedge trimmer attachments on. Man was I impressed with the performance over gasoline.

[@Femalelumberjack]

Haven’t had a chance to try the 135 yet I’m waiting impatiently

[@landscapingspecialist]

@@Femalelumberjack LOL 😆 IMPATIENTLY waiting. You sound like me!!! yeah I just saw that. Looks like the only difference I can spot from the 130 is the ability to run an onboard AR pack with the 135. The 130 we have must have a belt mount battery with the cable. Or an AR backpack that I’ll probably end up picking up soon here. Wonder if power output is the same as well.

[@robinhadley]

You look good in this video 😘 Nice review also. I do like the smaller battery machine. 👌🏻

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thanks. I do use some of the smaller machines as well

[@AugustHunicke]

Good comprehensive review. Hedges are my least favorite as well, but battery is so much nicer than gas for this task. I’ve not known about that spray you put on the blades 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ll see if it’s stateside.

[@garybenedict8513]

Hey girl great to have you back.

[@Femalelumberjack]

Aww thank you

[@brettslawnandtreeservice]

I like the 66 for lighter stuff. I usually use either the HLA135 or my old gas HL100 for thick stuff. I like the pole hedge trimmers way more than the regular ones

[@Femalelumberjack]

The 66 is really light and nice to work with. I haven’t tried the 135 yet

[@fabriciobaerwaldtpetry5072]

👏👏👏

[@sundial6919]

Youre a nice well mannered young lady w no tatoos . Hope you dont mind me saying keep up the wholesome good work

[@billyshumate853]

Glad you're feeling better. Using a hedge trimmer you don't need a lot of weight. Take care and have a blessed week and I'll see you on your next video. Question have you ever tried a Sugi Hara bar on any of your saws. Always enjoy the bloopers 😂😂💜💜

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thank you. No I haven’t tried those yet. Lots of bloopers on this one 🙈😆

Great review Felixia! Do you use the battery chainsaws as well?

[@landscapingspecialist]

I was impressed with the KMA 130 R. Considering the AR 3000 battery. Even at $1,000+. The smooth torque curve and lightweight of these tools really make a difference IMO

[@Femalelumberjack]

We’ve got the ar3000 at the company and when people aren’t cutting the cord it works great 🤣🤣

[@landscapingspecialist]

@@Femalelumberjack Ha yes, definitely copy that!! Thanks for heads up!!

[@glassdomedesign]

Fab review. How does the hla86 compare with the petrol equivalent - has anyone here used both? Particularly in terms of cutting power and weight? I think both have the same reach and I’m weighing up battery back petrol for our trees which are square box head - hornbeam chestnut square heads at 5m tall with 3m heads

[@channelqu]

wow super.. very very profesional girl.

[@dougdimmadabd8093]

Are these compatible with the bagpack battery stihl makes or just the AP batteries

[@landscapingspecialist]

My only gripe(a very very small one) is that on the KMA 130 R I would often times accidentally depress the preset throttle switch. This would in turn slow the machine down to speed 1. I would have to stop, click up twice again to get back to speed 3. I feel they need to redesign the grip/throttle controls. However I do have very large hands. Maybe it’s just fine for your average hand sized individuals.

[@lloydmcpherson4920]

Yes, same problem with my kma 135, I also started to use a lighter batteries for hedge trimming like the ap100. It makes a difference when trimming working on a ladder.

[@micorrado]

What ladder do you have use in this video ? i'm looking for a new ladder easier for cutting on 3 meter

[@nanangtawon7360]

💐👌🙋

[@russelldownesdownes5618]

Is the HLA replacing the HLE👍

[@davidbaldwin1591]

Are 2 stroke trimmers outlawed in Denmark?

[@FabFunty]

I wish you could switch between a normal handle and the long ones, cause they are not that practical, on smaller hedges or trimming on single bushes I need to have more control, like with my HS 56 I like to have a battery powered one now that they are as powerful, it even might be easier to achieve a modular system but I guess they like to sell 2 machines.

[@kimhelmert5804]

Så er du tilbage håber du er ok😉 god info video🧐 hyggelig afslutnings video🤪 god sommer det bliver Varmt🥵 kh Ribe👍🇩🇰

[@Femalelumberjack]

Tak

[@lloydmcpherson4920]

Hej, did you think of making a video on ppe for hedge trimmers.

[@Femalelumberjack]

I’ll add it to the list

[@lloydmcpherson4920]

Hej, Hej, I would like to see more hedge trimming videos: -compare the hla 135 to the Husqvarna's. -Show different ladders for hedge work and technics. - How is your working truck organized. - With your new company, what marketing ideas you will use. - At home how do you store your chainsaws. - Will Stihl start making faster battery trimmers like the hsa 66 and hsa 100. tks

Remember to use your ladder leveller base plate, most accidents and incidents occur while working from a ladder.

[@duanepierce3886]

Curious about what you have the front handle off the battery saw behind you to your right.?

[@Femalelumberjack]

I’m not understanding the question

[@duanepierce3886]

@@Femalelumberjack Sorry, my autocorrect and hasty typing garbled my question. I was trying to ask why you have the forward handle removed from the battery powered Stihl behind you in the video. Or am I imagining things? I enjoy your videos either way.

[@Femalelumberjack]

@@duanepierce3886 because my colleague decided to leave the saw on the ground while I was cutting down a tree and then the tree fell on it 😆

[@dteasdale77]

Does anyone know of a good video that teaches how to do a plunge cut, some call it a bore cut. The how to videos I've found don't explain how to do it they just talk about when to use it. Not how to do it safely.

[@Femalelumberjack]

[@dteasdale77]

@@Femalelumberjack Thak you! Exactly what I was looking for!

[@IpulBahri]

heloooo

[@mattpeters7884]

I wish stihl would stop putting the battery at the bottom. They can fall out which is a. A safety problem and b. Battery cost a lot so breaking one hurts.

[@Femalelumberjack]

But it really doesn’t matter where they place the battery it can still fall out. I haven’t dropped a stihl battery but I’ve dropped a Husqvarna battery from the top of a tree 😊
