[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 7865365, member: 12099"] that hints at the trimmed 'A' shape which is more rarely seen. which is a subject i do give thought to at least. One of the main practical problems with tractor trimming is the reach of the machine and trimming usefully up to an A needs relatively far more reach than a flat top. Because as a hedge gets wider at its base ...1. to keep a similar /relevant angle ,the top of of the apex needs naturally to be higher accordingly .(basic maths :sneaky: 2.as a hegdger is raised higher the horizontal reach of the machine is lost in a linear way with as the machine stretches higher and higher to complete the job. Also from a person point of veiw.operator / hedge owner job satisfaction/ neatness /sharp edge sort of thing can come into it i guess. but yes practical to do on a not to wide hedge (with no ditches both side) and a not too high end result choice, or on a boundary hedge :rolleyes: Its something i think about ie, how to make an effective hedger that is relativly lightweight but has very long reach, would be good on wetter ground and with wide ditches next to them ,or late season trimming Dec,Jan Feb . Not for road hedges but maybe Back to A Cutter bar machine would be an idea i reckon ,as its a much lighter head right from the start, and wider cut too.( which also equals more reach ) but with a modern twist of telescopic or really long boom. even so a smaller tractor could be used on it as well which is part of the idea . course then the issue arises of hedge pairing s needing to be cleared up or not, and removing them is not so eco either is it. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
