    Anyone know anything about this brand of hedgecutter? I am in the market for a good second hand one and there is one of these for sale locally enough.

    I don't know anything about this brand. But I would have thought that in general you just get a bracket made up to fit your three-point linkage? What was the headache if you don't mind me asking? Was it a problem with the design of the machine or the tractor? Or in connecting up the pipes and maybe electrics?

    It was just a difficult machine to attach to the tractor. Had to use the 3cx to help put it on. It was cable control so no electrics. Only had it for 2 seasons and traded it for a new McConnell PA93.
    I remember when I was younger being sent in between the tractor and hedge cutter to put on the PTO.

    Was the machine durable, well built, reliable etc. I looked at the machine after and it's in really good condition and is exactly the size to suit my tractor. It is easy hooked up too as it's a 3 pt linkage model. I am seriously tempted by it.

    Have an Orsi flail at work. Flicks up to do hedges. Doesn’t do a whole pile every year. But what does seems grand.

    I once had a CR420, 3 point mounted. Thought it was a nice machine, tidy and sturdy.
