Ryobi pole hedge trimmer attachment3/24/2024 Instead of paying 200.00 for a replacement Stihl pruner I was able to connect a 99.00 Ryobi pruner attachment to my HT101. I am just a cheap consumer happens to found a good deal on a Stihl HT101 telescoping pole pruner with a HL 135° Hedge Trimmer attachment instead of a HT Pole Pruner. However, there were so much uncertainty about mixing attachments with Stihl power heads, I have decided to post something from my experience.īy all means, I am not a pro or do I use my equipment all the time. I dont usually post online y bother on info highway. Makita says the powerhead is equivalent to 30cc and I believe makita, maybe not every 30cc but still, it’s surly very strong.Okay, here it goes. I’d love to have a 4 piece makita set on my backseat like my generic attachment set. There’s just nothing else out there that continuously steals my attention. I’m all but certain that I will move into all makita once the business has money burning a hole in it’s bank account. At the end of the day, while I really want to get into the Makita line and streamline all my equipment into one brand it’s not necessary when my Ryobi stuff is plenty sufficient and the Ego hedge trimmers are always in the shop for scheduled tough hedges. I really don’t like not being able to spin my trimmer super slow when around very delicate plants and objects. The point is, so far, out of trying four different powerheads, only the Ryobi has that precise throttle control and ability to spin dang near 1 rpm if desired. I’ve looked through the wiring diagrams, watched videos and read opinions and I believe not only is the makita 40v stuff very powerful, it’s also very refined in it’s performance. Initially after using the Ego hedge trimmers I was excited about eventually changing over from Ryobi to Ego but for various ergonomic and other dislikes I stuck with my Ryobi powerhead and generic attachments.įour months and a lot of browsing later I came to the conclusion that the Makita 40v platform is the direction I should have gone. Makita was mentioned at points during my search for a professional hedge trimmer and I wish I went that way instead of Ego. I had that loop in the garage from a discarded homeowner trimmer and put it on this. The forward loop handle was added because the "string trimmer" loop position is too close when reaching out away while cutting. Once I bought a second FS90R, I just kept the trimmer attachment on it all the time rather than swapping out the heads. The only two attachments I ever bought were the edger (which I used about 3 times) and the hedge trimmer. It's a Stihl FS90R string trimmer - they took different gearhead attachments - not a split shaft. I can adjust the angle rather than contorting my body. The articulating head unit I bought is easily the best money I ever spent in terms of making my life easier. If I were going to buy ONE extended reach trimmer, I would not waste money on one that has a fixed head. I actually got so used to using it on almost EVERYTHING that when I did get a handheld trimmer I found the small trimmer awkward to use. I ran an "extended reach", articulating head trimmer for many years before buying a handheld. Might I get anĪttachment capable powerhead and run a commercial hedge attachment?Ĭan I approach this looking for an all around type unit or is there enough reason to get a hand style like my Ryobi pictured and a pole type? The pole type would allow me to begin creeping into running a commercial style powerhead but I need to stay focused on the main theme here and that's taking a step further into this trade and rocking out bushes with efficiency. What about something like this? I've seen crews trimming big and small stuff with these types of setups. What really confuses me is what would be a good all around capable hedge trimmer? Something like this that is a traditional hedge trimmer in my mind. I will admit that I would like to go in that direction, we're all only human and I can't remove all my bias and personal wants but please anyone suggest anything that you like. Now, has instilled confidence in me that the Husqvarna battery platform is one to run with. I would prefer electric obviously but it's less important with something that will tackle overgrown stuff. Gas, electric, hand crank, hamster wheel, I'm not trying to walk into this like I do with my trusty Ryobi 40v powerhead. I don't know why I didn't come to Jesus about this earlier but I'm here now. The worst part is I intentionally avoid accounts that have more than a little bit of bush maintenance. They're only meant for maintained booxwoods and other light work. This has been recently realized by me that I'm burning up valuable time putzing around with my Ryobi 40v hedge trimmers.
