The Hedge Cutting Thread

[Hurdle bunter]

He has got one yes, it is one of the older type with a single ram, youd have to have a word and see what he wants for it, think the price for a new one to go with my brusher was £1500 ish but they add no value to the machine when you change it may need some long pipes to spool it in as well :/
Easter hopefully ( if i can still afford it after buying a shiny new Fusion !!!!)

I'll have to get his number off you sometime

Jaysus man! Thought the fusion was on the "stay" list (hope I ain't got to pay more for bales out of the new one )

Wot about the 68, staying or change for vario?

Time to cart on bank holiday weekend

Anyone trim using tractor spools while cutting on the left?

Decided to do away with my cable controls and pipe straight up to the spools,shouldn't be bad with the fendt.

Are the spools not on the wrong side ? Doesn't sound too comfortable for a long days work

Yes will mean steering with left hand.

I could always spin the boom over and cut on the right.

Thinking about it,I think there is only 8 wires going to the spool toggle switches,maybe I could move the switches to the left,hmmm...

What was wrong with the old set up?

I've hit a stay wire in reverse once not recommended

Cables have gone stiff and its 3 levers with the 4th spool worked by pulling it towards you.

I need a better machine but got other priorities this year.

Once had a chap pull a pole in half when he caught the stay with his steps,he denied it till we pointed out his steps were on the floor wrapped round the wire.

They need to be fairly long And the back window won't shut with cables through it using the tractors electric spools seems the best option to me,I would prefer cutting on the right as the window is bigger and I'd be able to let one of the kids come with me.
