October 17th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized
We all love to have a nice looking yard and for some that means manicured lawns and hedges. This type of yard can take a lot of work but the end results are worthwhile. If you plan to have a yard like this you will need the proper tools, a good lawn mower and a pair of Stihl hedge trimmers will be a good start to giving your yard the manicured look you want it to have.
Stihl hedge trimmer come in electric, battery or gas models and which you choose will depend a lot on what you need to do with it as both have their advantages and disadvantages. Your first consideration in which model of Stihl hedge trimmers you buy is how much trimming you have to do and what sort bushes you will be trimming.
Light duty work is fine for a battery operated hedge trimmer as it can handle most small jobs easily and efficiently. But if your hedges are large or you have a lot of them you may wish to consider the electric or gas models of Stihl extended length hedge trimmers. Keep in mind that with electric hedge trimmers you must be able to get to power from where ever you are at, so if reaching the hedges might be a problem then you will certainly wish to consider a cordless model. If you have lots of big hedges to trim then perhaps your best choice will be a gas hedge trimmer as these offer those most portability along with being the heaviest duty.
If weight is an issue and avoiding a cord is not then take a look at the cordless Stihl gas powered hedge trimmers. Much lighter than either of their counterparts the electric is ideal for someone where lifting too much weight over their head might be an issue.
Finally if you are concerned that all of your yard tools are earth friendly then rechargeable Stihl electric hedge trimmers are definitely the way to go. Gas powered trimmers use fossil fuels, and emits carbon emissions making them not all earth friendly. While electric trimmers are more environmentally friendly than their gas powered cousins, a battery powered hedge trimmer can be hooked up to a solar recharger to be truly green.
While there are definitely plenty of choices for your Stihl electric hedge trimmers you will find that it will not be too hard to find the right pair for you and the job you intend them for. Just be sure to weigh all the important factors in your final decision to come up with the ideal pair for you.
