Will this work well on privet hedges?

Don't know what a Privet hedge is but use it on upright yews and it works well. Had one off these for years and it worked well.Make sure you get this model as they make another with a different blade which you don't want.

I don't know what a privet hedge is, but this trimmer works very well on almost any hedge, ivy, thick bush and we even trimmed our olive tree. Being electric, not battery, it has a lot of power.

not sure what a privet hedge is but it worked fine the onlyfirst and only time I used it.will definitely use it in the future

yes. I use it on all sorts of hedges (boxwood, privet, yew, juniper) and privet should be fine as long as the branches are not larger than your finger.

I am not sure what a privet hedge is but works well on my huge hedges. I was amazed with how fast the job got done and how well it works. I have had 5 back surgeries and it was gentle and easy to use.

Hello Susan, I would not recommend this tool for that type of tree. That tree is more of a hedge than a typical tree with large limbs. There is also a correct way to prune this type of tree and you should follow that procedure in order to continue to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the tree. I included a website underneath for you. I hope this helps. http://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource000594_Rep616.pdf regards frank

I use it in leaf blower and weed whacker. I would think it should work with hedge trimmer.

I have used this for branches ranging from one inch to 1/4 across (rose of sharon, christmas pine, etc) . It likes a long straight woody branch. Not so good on highly branched hedge cuttings like a privet etc.

It works great on large weeds. It is not the tool I would recommend for many weeds in your flower bed. Too much work. You would be better off with a three prong weed tiller than the fiskar. I was a little disappointed in all the work required per weed with the fiskar. Check Lowes, etc., for a better weed puller.

I have only used it for a small time, I believe it will do the job, but it will take some practice using the rake to get the most out of it. The field I had a chance to rake was a couple acres , it did a fair job.

Hi Dalila, seeing that i don't have a hedge trimmer I wouldn't be able to answer that question properly, but I would say that if the battery pack fits into the battery slot of your hedge trimmer without forcing it and it locks into place then it would work, I just don't know what kind of RPM's (revolutions per min.) it would give you or how long it would last.

This tool will work but you will need a ladder for that high a bush. The weight of the tool holding it high is hard for me, and had to tackle me hedge in short working times. The height of my hedge had to be done from a ladder but was done by someone stronger than myself. I wished this tool could break down to a standard hedge trimmer size also so I would have two hedge trimmers in one.

Probably not. The Agri-Fab picks up leaves from the lawn best when the height of the brushes is adjusted to just whisk the top of the grass. Unless the dried horse manure sits lightly on the surface in the horse paddock this machine would probably not give a satisfactory performance pick-up. But I have no horses.

Yes. I use it a couple of times a week to clear brush and vines along my fence lines.

it cuts very well, in hedges i really don't know. I love to work with this B&D; The oil is with it the delivery and you can use the oil that"s also needed for chain saws.

Must be a big hedge for 5 gallons. I mix only one gallon at a time in a small (1.5 gallon) sprayer, 4 quarts of diesel and 2 quart of herbicide. Mostly applying to the trunk of small trees, but this mixture also effectively took out a few privet hedges along a clearing. It works slow but is deadly. Good Luck, be careful with over spray and drifting MIKE

Dirt and gravel, unless largely clumped, should sift right through the rake. I'd say yes. It should work good on that surface.

I'm not sure but if it won't jam the blades it should. Also I think you would need to use the hedge trimmer attachment.

I'm not for sure, I used it on my pin oaks,water oaks , saw tooth oaks and it worked pretty good

Most likely. I have a wide variety of growth on the property and it cuts everything but more dense sapplings (eg trees). It will cut wild roses which are very tough.

I haven't tried that. I have used it only on my outdoor shrubs and it works very well for that.
