Ciao tutti

Looking for a hedge trimmer to cut thick bushes that grow off terraces and thus into the trails...

I would say the branches are up to 30mm dia, is there anything on the market that can cut these?

I have tried chainsaws but its a pain as the thinner branches just get pushed down and thus cant reach the thicker ones.

guys

I am talking about tens of km's of overgrowth to open up ancient paths having not seen a foot in over a couple of hundred years.

I have those saw's in my camelback for the occasional shrub, fallen tree..

Probably loppers. Though for that distance, I'd go chainsaw for ease of use.

I'm currently clearing a huge garden full of 3m high brambles with a petrol strimmer with a brush cutter attached.

I follow up the bigger stuff with loppers or chain saw.

I am www.gardenchief.co.uk Try using this:

http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/STIHL-FS480-PROFESSIONAL-CLEARING-SAW.html

Otherwise something like this:

And saw or lop the really thick branches. It really is quite quick when you've had practice.

EDIT: ^^^beaten to it!
