Hedge trimming
In agriculture and forestry, in addition to conventional mowing tasks such as mowing grass and other vegetation, special jobs such as hedge cutting also have to be carried out time and again. Hedge cutting places special demands on the cutting units. One basic problem is the irregular growth density of a hedge. Cutting units for hedge trimming must also be able to cut through thicker branches. At the same time, an overall clean cut should be achieved and the ease of use of the device must be guaranteed.
Hedges are important ecological elements that provide refuge for numerous animal species. This is another reason why legal requirements must be observed when maintaining hedges. It is important to bear in mind that mowing large hedges, such as those found in parks, vineyards, fields or at the edge of forests, places significantly higher demands on the cutting unit, engine and design of the mower than mowing tasks in a private environment. Hedges in these areas can have very heterogeneous shapes and growth types. Depending on the area of application and time of year, the hedge must be cut back gently or robustly. Appropriate mowing arms must be available to cope with the often considerable height of the hedges.
Cutting units for hedge trimming
Depending on the size, vegetation density and frequency of cutting, cutting units of different designs are used for hedge trimming. Municipal and professional agricultural and grounds maintenance applications require larger machines. The height and length of the hedges make manual cutting impossible or inefficient in this area. Mobile mowers with a powerful drive and high-quality ESM cutting units are therefore generally used for hedge trimming in these areas. The variable adjustment options using the extension arm allow even and efficient cutting, even of long and high hedges.
The special "C" hedge trimmer from Ennepetaler Scheid- und Mähtechnik is specially designed for such demanding cutting tasks in professional garden and landscape maintenance applications. The robust double bar blades in Carbodux® quality are able to cut even thick branches, which regularly occur in larger hedges, with ease. Special applications in hedge and shrub pruning are therefore possible up to a branch diameter of 25 mm. The combination of serrated bar blades and smooth knife blades has a particularly favourable effect on the cutting result. The cut is clean and the hedge contour can be worked out precisely.
