    Hi,

    I'm in the process of buying a new hedge cutter and I have narrowed it down to a McConnell PA60 with XTC controls or a SpearHead 605 with Proportional Controls (Both have Joysticks!!!) they are both the same price!

    Can anyone please advise on which hedgecutter would be best I know McConnell are good but know very little about Spearhead.

    Any advise welcome..

    Thanks..

    For resale value alone, the Mcconnell would be the best buy. We have a bomford - 24 years old and cutting as good as it did on the first day. Cable controls and a flail head. They just don't make them like they used to :D
