Trimming tall, hedge shrubbery is the most onerous of all Summer tasks. I need this guy.

I won't bring them to him, but he can take them ALL! I might even PAY him to take them.

They were really cool and needed there since there are so many hedgerows. Basically it's a mower on an articulating arm that can more vertically or horizontally - and probably angles in between.

The tractor will drive up one side, then the other, then cut the top flat. It may not be as pretty as hand trimming but it sure is efficient!

I pretty much went from 'Grunge Rock' to 'Punk Rock' style hedges.

They are just how nature intended them - unless the deer get to them first.
