Giant hedge cutter made from WWII AEC Matador

Enormous hedge cutter, converted from an WWII AEC Matador.

I'm not sure if this is the exact method I would use for this job, and I'm glad this guy doesn't live within 50 miles of me. Nevertheless, it makes quick work of that hedge.

Ducker branch and hedge cutter

I like this tracked hedge cutter.

As a horticulturist, I never saw the point in hedging (except for safety & then it is a planning issue). Much rather see the beauty of fur, box or lily pillys etc.

Ok for the queen and sultan.

I’d like to know what that “propeller” is made of?

they only need to cut these once,then they bring in Chuck Norris once a month and he DARES the hedge to grow ,and it doesnt grow, never needs triming again!!

long ago I had a girlfriend who lived on a plot of land in the middle of an orange grove. I remember watching the tree trimmers, giant machines with I think 5 very large circular saw blades on them, the blades and arm spun while they drove down between the trees. Nice clean rows for when it comes time for picking.

I may have the details off a bit, that was back when I remembered what to do with a girlfriend.
