Will this work well on privet hedges?

I don't have privet hedges, but I do have Indian Hawthorne hedges. It works fine on the Indian Hawthorne with one or two passes depending on the thickness of the stems. I've had my B&D; Hedger for over a year and I like how it is so light weight and easy to use. Hope this helps you.

I have used it on my azalea bushes and it works just fine. I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work on privet hedges.

it should; part of mine was buried (not on purpose). it might be better, though, if you could put mulch on top.

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

We have never tried it on hedges. Though it does a great job on branches of any size so far.

It shouldn't as it is really designed for pests. I would avoid putting direct, undiluted product directly on the flowers,shrubs, etc....I have not used mine yet, so I cannnot rate it's effectiveness yet. From the reviews, it sounds like it will work fairly well.

For sure...I use it on my palm trees, which look like much bigger stalks than the summer sweet bush. The blade is only 5 or 6 inches so it's not a sweeping hedge trimmer, rather an individual branch trimmer. Good luck.

While it may cut weeds and brush and a variety of other things it's really a hedge trimmer and designed just for hedges. I can't see any practical reason to need the various features like the extension or angle for anything other than a tall hedge. It is perfect because I can keep a 10'+ high hedge trimmed without a ladder.

It should. I only used it on staining redwood fences. It is a paint "blower" and I felt I did not as much control of the pattern as a paint sprayer. Very easy to clean though.

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.

Not sure if I would use this tool for ivy vines. I suggest a "sharp" hand pruner to cut the vines.

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.

Yes it will but it's slow. It will pull grass and weeds out of the ground, roots and all. You will have to stop and rake the stuff out of the way as you move along the area. I have a mantis tiller which really tears up the ground but it doesn't pull the weeds out as well as the B&D. My battery lasts for about 30 miinutes, but I have 4 batteries so not a problem....

I think it will work, but you will probably need multiple treatments. I used this successfully for the weeds & grass around my tree, but those roots were much shallower. Good luck.

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.

Yes. I have one and it works fine, even the gardeners use the same setup for hedges. Very heavy and tiring to use, however. Poulan makes Sears pole saws, trimmes and string trimmers, so you can see them in person there.Hope that helped
