Hedge trimmer
The requirements for a hedge trimmer used in municipal green space maintenance and professional agriculture are diverse. In general, the same requirements apply to a cutting unit in this specialised mowing area as in other areas of professional cutting and mowing. Reliability, high cutting power and low maintenance requirements are fundamental characteristics that a commercial or municipal hedge trimmer must have.
Hedge trimmers from ESM
Like all cutting units from Ennepetaler Scheid- und Mähtechnik, the ESM special bar hedge trimmer "C" is equipped with extremely robust and powerful components and therefore fulfils the high requirements in this area. Patented Carbodux® blades enable uninterrupted and consistently precise cutting of hedges and other vegetation. The cutting unit is environmentally friendly thanks to its low energy consumption. Maintenance and service can be carried out in a few simple steps. Precisely bolted blade guides also make maintenance tasks easier and reduce the risk of injury.

In addition to these general requirements for a professionally used mower, there are some special features to consider when cutting hedges.
Special requirements for a hedge trimmer
Working with a hedge trimmer differs from other mowing tasks due to the special shape and growth of a hedge. Unlike when mowing fields or meadows, when trimming a hedge, the hedge trimmer often has to be adjusted to the hedge in terms of cutting height and alignment. Hedges and shrubs always have individual growth patterns that need to be taken into account when trimming. In addition, many hedges have very different branch thicknesses. The hedge trimmer must be able to cut through even thick branches and at the same time deliver a precise cut. To guarantee this cutting result, the ESM hedge trimmer is equipped with a combination of serrated bar blades and smooth knife blades. Branches up to 25 mm in diameter can be cut cleanly and effortlessly. The working width of the cutting unit is 1.22, 1.48 or 1.78 metres.
