STIHL HS 56 C Hedge Trimmer Action - Pruning Shrubs - Vlog Walk Through

[@gregsmilgin6368]

Bought hs 56c last year cuts well, fairly light shoulders still get worn out quickly. Highly recommend new stihl hl 94, much easier on back shoulders.Rule of thumb cut from bottom to top.

[@corriedunstan2668]

Tip from a pro, when trimming hedges with a trimmer always do the sides first, then the fronts and finally the tops, good job though buddy!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Thx pal!

[@corriedunstan2668]

Brian's Lawn Maintenance Ime from the uk and am a tree surgeon, I found your channel today and have been binge watching your vids lol I'm very impressed with your business sense, thanks for the reply brian! Love the vids!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Corrie Dunstan ha awesome thx pal!!

[@coltscomics]

Brian love your work ethic buddy!

[@bigtexas7580]

Those trimmers cut alot better with the blade guard removed, which does nothing but push the leaves down which prevents the blade from cutting them as good as possible..

[@FlashTechEngineering]

You should add the clipping guard on, stops the clippings dropping down into the bush, also should finish off with manual hedges a cleaner finish. Do 90 percent with petrol hedge trimmer then finish off manually 😀👍

[@asapmarionavarro3678]

40in Stihl is a beast and surprisingly lighter than most 20in or feels that way since time is cut in half

[@gabemalcolm4429]

That thing is a beast!

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

Never quite seen the point in the 56, anything the 45 can't cope with, the 81 definitely will! You may like to try the Husqvarna 122HD60 & 522HDR75X too. Both excellent machines! A bit bias as I use all four.

[@davt8615]

Can't understand why the 56 is 200quid more than the 45, although I've always said the 45 is horrible to use the vibration and noise are terrible and the exhaust spews straight onto the hedges etc. 122hd60 is the best trimmer on the market for the money

[@asapmarionavarro3678]

on the first hedge brother if you raise the bottom of the hedge it would look super clean and the mulch will show more. Try it out and see how you like the look

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

ASAP Mario Navarro good looking out!

[@chrisferraro2040]

Huge Stihl fan. I prefer to use the short pole hedger Stihl puts out. Allows you to use your body more rather than just your arms. If you do a lot hedgers then the short pole hedger is the way to go.

[@Bradsmobilecarcare]

Had that one sold it and got the HS82T and it was a game changer. Got the HL94K 145 degrees Monday and they are amazing.

[@christiangrillot7455]

YourWay LawnCare Brad, totally agree with the hs82t. The 30" blades have changed trimming for me forever, although I do feel like I need the R series as well for clean-ups and rejuvenating cuts. Hope you're planning a review on the hl94k after you spend some time with them???

[@dg5476]

Made me want to get one of those Stihl trimmers 😀

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I'll admit they're sweet!

[@ChiliblockTrading]

That stihl is sweet. We like it more than our echo hegde trimmers

[@Jordan-jx6zc]

Just bought one today. 1st stihl purchase. I’m a Echo guy. Picked it up for 350. Looks like it does a great job. Anyone with some insight on these would be greatly appreciated.

[@jamesforsyth7711]

I'd like to see vid on how everyone does their clean up after pruning. I usually use a tarp like Jerry Jones stated. Only takes a second and I can dump in a 42 gal trash can for haul off or ease of bagging when solo.

[@aca2890]

I've got the Echo 2420 also Love it

[@neusac4590]

Great job😉

[@DunningsMillLawnCare]

I’m a Husqvarna fan boy, my absolute favourite favourite hedge cutter is the Husqvarna 122hd60 I’ve put my Husqvarna 122hd60 through it’s absolute maximum and never had a problem, you should try out the Husqvarna 122hd60, you might like it.

[@HBSTUDIOS_TODAY]

Matt’s garden servise what’s the price?

[@DunningsMillLawnCare]

@@HBSTUDIOS_TODAY £190 in England

[@leoslandscape24]

I just started my business not long ago I make lots of money trimming bushes. Mulch and rocks is good money

[@bedellpropertymanagement]

good rare plant find at the end!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Bedell Property Management LLC 😂

[@gabemalcolm4429]

LOL.

[@devorickjohnson7714]

Looks good brother...

[@jerryjones6126]

through down a tarp in those flower beds..... it will make your clean up a lot easier

[@perfectlawnprollc1324]

I use old bed sheets... lol

[@leoslandscape24]

Another great video so you like Echo or Stilh what you own right now

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

ECHO, but this stihl was still nice.

[@perfectlawnprollc1324]

I have a set and your right about them doing a great job on box woods. They do hang up on some thicker branches where the echo just cuts right though. I am a echo nut to, but the 56c seems to be far lighter in wt. then my 15 year old echo. i could swing the 56c all day. Have a great day bud!!!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

+Perfect Lawn Pro LLC Agreed!!

[@michu401]

It's a privet (ligustrum) hedge on the video ?

[@theboyparker4899]

STIHL ALL DAY EVERY DAY

[@ChiliblockTrading]

Just curious...what is your hedgetrimmer sharpening technique? Thanks Brian

[@gregsmilgin6368]

Spark arrestor screen on those clog very quickly causing running problems.Stihl makes it very easy to clean, stihl multi tool unscrews it propane torch cleans all carbon off.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Greg Smilgin good to know!

[@darrensmowing9773]

nice one Brian.. ;)

[@alexanderhanspprerrs4913]

Full throttle on twostroke whitout any resistens?

[@den.staar124]

Must it have the special Stihl fuel mix or may I mix It myself from the gaspomp (7% twostrroke oil)?

[@dustinagee9635]

How do you charge when you do hedge trimming? Do you do it by hour or by how many hedges you trim just curious

[@jnjr45]

what's the difference between the Stihl hs56 vs hs56C and/or hs56CE?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

I can't say I only have experience with this unit.

[@rauljuarez3884]

You like it cause it's brand new.. doesn't matter wat brand.. Stihl. Echo. John Deere. Or redmax..

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Raul Juarez Nailed it

[@calebgeddens8318]

Do u think the hs 45 would do ok I have a side hustle business and don't cut bushes that often. it is a little less than the hs 56

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Caleb Geddens never used the 45 sorry bud! The 56 was good but I can't see it cutting through thicker stuff with too much ease. But boxwood and smaller Shrubs, its very good

[@calebgeddens8318]

Brian's Lawn Maintenance thanks man!

[@squideyes5955]

Is it normal for it to blow out white smoke when pressing the throttle or not? I just bought it but not sure if that’s normal or not because mine does that

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Might just be warming up.

[@jimbruggeman3342]

For someone just learning you're doing a phenomenal job. Not lets see you shape those into an animal shape. Haha jk. All my tools are Stihl and I didn't know they had a gas trimmer..AWESOME

[@DunningsMillLawnCare]

The stihl hs 82 R and stihl hs 82 T are more comparable to the Echo hc 2420

[@nippinkoi8924]

You don't need to run full throttle all the time ,it needs a longer cutting head ,

[@fpplsoftwashpressurewashin8757]

Totally agree here. Hedge trimmers should be ran wide open but you should also negotiate the use of the throttle as you go back and forth. Again, Brian does mention that he is not an expert in the useage of the hedge trimmers or even trimming hedges. I also recommend buying a longer cutting shaft to save even more time. Great video!

[@davidbigall1346]

Makes them run more efficiently, it's like that for all small 2 stroke engines.

[@ericdingman3050]

Gotta remember she's brand new yet

Mind if I repost via Instagram with a link back here?

What is the lowest age you would hire someone?

[@dluna1211]

How much do you charge for that?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

This wasn’t my job sorry

[@gabemalcolm4429]

Those first Hedge's are pretty beat up and old looking .

[@gabemalcolm4429]

Not from your trimming I just mean in general since they go up and then dip in the middle .

[@gabemalcolm4429]

Nice work man!

[@biggils8894]

Those two stokes are not only loud and annoying but obsolete! Who the hell would want one? The disadvantages to advantage is obvious: edit. Sounds like living next to a motocross track. Ridiculous!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Definitely a home owner ;-)

Do you do your videos on your phone or do you have like a GoPro or something?
