Hedgecutters

Its now time in the garden to start looking at the hedges that have been left to grow while you have enjoyed the long dry summer.

As with all garden machinery purchases there is so much choice in the hedgecutter market.

Petrol or electric or even cordless options are available, so here at newlawnmower we are here to help you choose the right machine.

General rule of thumbs is:

Cordless/ Battery= 15 minutes twice a year

Electric Hedgecutters= 30-45 minutes three times a year

Petrol hedgecutters= anything more than above



The advantage of petrol over electric



1) Flexability (No cables to restrict the movement)

2) More power (Quicker cutting time)

3) More features available (swivel handle) is one great feature

4) Long life (Average life of petrol machine is 10+ year)

5) Longer length bar than electric

6) The neighbour might not want to borrow it as its petrol



Disadvantages of petrol hedgecutters


1) Heavy compared to electric

2) Initial cost is higher

3) Petrol /oil mix (all petrol hedgecutters are 2 stroke engines)

4)Higher servicing costs

Check out our offers on hedgecutters i'm sure you will find a model that suits you.
