We have just purchased two new Stihl FS400 Brush Cutters and two new Stihl HS81R Hedge Trimmers.
The FS400 Brush Cutter is a heavy duty strimmer tough enough to cope with most ground clearing conditions. It can be fitted up with traditional strimmer line or with a metal brush knife for thicker vegetation.
The HS81R Hedge Trimmer is designed with the gardening professional in mind. It has a double-edged 30″ blade for cutting in both directions and provides a powerful cut at a lower speed. It is also relatively light and produces low vibrations.

New to the hire fleet this month is the Dosko Stump Grinder. This powerful and well balanced machine tackles tree stumps and roots up to 500mm above ground and 400mm below ground.
It has a front mounted cutter wheel for maximum operator safety along with an ‘operator-presence shut down’ (dead-mans handle).
The double bow handle design allows the operator free unrestricted movement while grinding and the side discharge frame design removes the cuttings out and away from the machine.

It can handle up to 80kg at any one time and can be reversed to take material down from a roof as well as up.
The 8m Bumpa Hoist measures 4.2m when folded up and is quick and easy for two people to set up and manoeuvre.
