my old homemade hedge cutting machine; new video
7 years later, my hedge cutting machine is still working.
I did a big upgrade in 2020, solving a bunch of weaknesses in the design. It's a lot more fun to use now.
In the meantime, there's more hedge than ever. Around 400 meters in length, 3 meters high, and 3 wide.
And I made a new video;

Re: my old homemade hedge cutting machine; new video
Thanks for your kind comments, everyone.
Our camara has much better machines; 20,000 Euro flail attachments on 50,000 Euro tractors.
I do a little cutting for my next door neighbor as a favor, but I rarely do paid tractor work; the going rate is so low, that after maintenance and fuel there's hardly anything left.
And there are several locals who do that and I don't want to compete with them.
Of course, they don't have hedge cutters.
