Here I reduce a privet hedge using the stihl backpack and hedge trimmer.

Nicely done mate. I find a good mulching mower or small pedestrian brush mower is ideal for recycling that kind of waste and it saves lugging round a heavy chipper. 👍

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Yes I see more and more people mulching I’ve just never tried it….yet😄

@@scottellwoodgardening287 your stihl mulcher would go through that easy. the RM4

@@scottellwoodgardening287 It does cut down massively on waste mate, id be lost without mine.

The hedge looks fantastic. I try to work as good as you but you are so much better. Great video Scott.

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks mate. I appreciate the comments.

[@swiss300173]

Nice and level Scott 👍🏻

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks buddy.

Shame to lose the green waste site. The 66 and 86 are my go to at the moment with all the hedge trims👍 great kit

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Great products mate. I was going to put new blades on the old ones but it’s not much more to renew them.

[@paulinmacc]

Nice one mate 🍃🍃👍🏼

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks mate.

[@thegardeneruk]

Not bad 4 hours on that hedge mate, plus with the weather decent. I see you made a purchase of the 86 and 66, definitely a good combo there. The weather has been quite bad the last few days down here, managed to get a bit done! so cant complain. Hope your keeping well mate. 👍

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Great machines mate. Hope to catch up next week if you get to saltex.

@@scottellwoodgardening287 I have registered to go, just hope the weather don't let me down on jobs! Or ill have to stay and catch up. 😕

Great job on the hedge, suprised you never left the waste for your staff to clean up 😂

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

😂I do work at times mate.

[@HDGardenCare]

great bit for work. satisfying watch this one! One question why a tipper over a box van? apart from the obvious you can tip it. a box van and tipper trailer seems to make more sense to me so I'm curious?

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks mate. I have a box van as well but the tipper is multi use so I chip into the back and pick up soil etc and some access is easier than it would be with a trailer.

[@HoopersGardenMaintenance]

Great job✂️🍃👍🏼

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks mate. Catch up next week 👍

[@TKG]

I have always charged tip fee rates plus time, regardless of how I get rid of waste, 99% of the time its a win for me, on occasion I do have to go to the tip, so at least when I do I still gfet paid for my time and customer pays for the tip fee, bloomin expensive. a chipper is excellent if you can compost it down too, its a win win.

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

A small chipper shredder will benefit me mate as well as having the big Timberwolf which you’ve seen in action.

[@stevenknight5920]

Curious what power setting you use on the 94r, for me it goes through almost anything on the first setting. Do you vary power for anything in particular? Nice job on the hedge.

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Thanks Steven. Most hedges I use the lowest setting. Fine conifers etc I will use setting 3 as it cuts that species better.

[@DarthSidious11]

I do yes weekly for 35 weeks.

@@scottellwoodgardening287 well thats fair enough iv a 37hp compact im going to add a hedge cutter this year i think going forward hedges weed control with out spraying and high grass management will be a big thing there going to get rid of spray and grass they will want it left grow early spring and hedges will become like farming just been able to do them in the winter
