Makita petrol hedge trimmers and MM4 pole hedge trimmer
Makita petrol hedge trimmers cut hedges, shrubs and undergrowth where there is no socket and a battery will not last the day, for landscapers, grounds crews and estate maintenance. They sit within Makita petrol garden tools, next to the mowers that run on the same fuel.
There are two types. The standard hedge trimmer has a 22.2 cc engine and a blade of 50, 60 or 75 cm. A long blade takes more hedge per pass and moves quickly along long, straight hedges; a short blade is lighter and easier to steer for shaping and rounded shrubs. The MM4 pole hedge trimmer puts the blades on a pole, so you can trim tall hedges and the top of a hedge without a ladder or scaffold.
When choosing, consider the weight you carry through a full working day and the height of the hedges you maintain most often. If you also keep grass and edges tidy, pair the hedge trimmer with a Makita petrol grass trimmer from the same petrol range.
