@1greenthumbgardeningtwbaАй бұрын
Hey Mate. I have not tried the PH1420. It is the newer version. I have bought another two of the PH1400 as they have been half price, one with the 5amp and fast charger and the other had a 2.5amp slow charger and a trimmer attached I have been told that the PH1420 has more power and a better trigger set up. Personally I have flogged my original Ph1400 for 4 years before I had to replace the gear box, then the motor died, so I have replaced it. I love the Ph1400 it has done an amazing job and I am very happy with it. I super glue the safety switch on the PH1400 for better comfort and ease of use. If you are commercial it may be worth going the PH1420. The biggest advantage is the water proofing on the Ph1420. But I don't work in the rain. Hopefully this helps Thanks Scotty

Hi, I definitely would not use the stihl hla 86. It is the same as the ego with the motor in the head. The problem with the telescopic hedges are they are only designed for straight up and down hedges. In all the brands of hedge trimmers I have use the ego is still the best. If you don’t want to use a backpack the ego Multi tool with hedge trimmer attachment with a 2.5amp will give you great weight ratio, ease of use and you can reach up to 4m without a extension pole or 5.5m with extension pole. 6m if really keen with two extension poles.

@garageblitztv3215Ай бұрын
By far, this has to be the most honest and best user case review on the internet so far! Well done to One Green Thumb Gardening! Whilst I will never go back to ICE gardening equipment, the cost of batteries should be factored in as a consumable, just like fuel. IMHO I have found that the EGO batteries seem to be the most reliable, and their battery cooling and monitoring far superior. I have seen one massive toxic fire with a European brand, whereby the contractor lost his entire trailer with equipment valued at around $35k … he spent 2 months in hospital. Heard of numerous others with the same brand. BTW, if you get a red light on the charger, you can try pulling the battery off, holding down the battery indicator button for over 10 seconds to reset the battery circuit board. If it keeps failing it’s time to recycle it for safety reasons. IMH experience, the batteries tend to fail in the first 12 months anyway, so use them straight up. Also, check dates on batteries when you buy new equipment. And when you buy new equipment with batteries, ensure the battery is in the box and the sales place has not been using it to display equipment, of replaced their mate’s batteries and swapped them over.
@mithrasizeАй бұрын
Just 1 thing when you mentioned hardwiring the backpack. If the wire gets too hot when using it, it is worth trying a thicker wire, as a normal 240v cord is too thin for low voltage and high current. That way you also be more efficient and get more juice out of the battery. It is a shame to know even with a reputable brand EGO the battery is still not very reliable and more like a consumables. But between that and all other maintenance for a petrol tool, it is still very attractive when going down the electrical path.
@garageblitztv3215Ай бұрын
Could not agree more that the batteries should be classed as consumables … far too many reviews are done on just how cheap to run on electricity Vs fuel. Ego is also guilty of this with their “running cost Vs ICE”. This has to be the most honest and best user case review on the internet so far!

How does the multi tool chainsaw head compared to the commercial chainsaw head !! I really need a good pole chainsaw But would like to add the hedge ?
@1greenthumbgardeningtwba2 ай бұрын
Hey, Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to use the EGO commercial telescopic chainsaw. I believe it would be better than the multi tool as it has more weight in the head with the motor in the head. I love the chainsaw attachment on the multi tool though at one extension pole it bounces on the branches and doesn't give the best cut. It can shudder from lack of weight. I have used the Stihl telescopic chainsaw and it works fantastic. My friend from Darling down tree service uses the Stihl battery telescopic chainsaw and loves it. I have the Stihl MSA 161 T arborist battery chainsaw and absolutely love it. At the time I purchased ego didn't have the arborist, since ego has bought out the small arborist chainsaw you need to have the batter with a cord which I don't like. Plus is has a regular chain compared to the micro on Stihl. The micro chains are more expensive but a superior cut. Thank you for watching and I hope this answers some questions. Happy to help more Scotty

@@1greenthumbgardeningtwba thank you Scotty for a detailed answer. I appreciate that. I just bought the commercial telescopic 10 inch titanium chainsaw. It was $800 US with 5.0 amp battery and charger and I also bought the original multi tool non-titanium. 10 inch chainsaw with 20 inch hedge trimmer also non-titanium.. with I believe 2.5 amp battery and charger. That was $399 US. I believe that's what you're using in your videos with a 5.0 battery? I am waiting for them to arrive. I'll let you know how it turns out. . The videos I've seen with the ego commercial telescopic chainsaw. Looks like it works pretty well on even 8to 10 inch limbs with a little bit of choking, but can get that job done and on 4 to 6 inch limbs no problem. We will see... Your videos are very clear and got me going down this whole rabbit hole to order both because I originally ordered the commercial telescopic chainsaw ... But then saw your video and realized how for hedge clipping, it's not as functional as the multi tool .. plus I find it hard to find on the site, the commercial hedge clipper attachment for commercial telescopic head pole? Anyway, it looks like I've got some comparison to do in the next coming weeks when they arrive .. Thanks again for your reply and excellent videos. Keep up the great work. Look forward to watching more. G'day to ya!

Could not agree more that the batteries should be classed as consumables … far too many reviews are done on just how cheap to run on electricity Vs fuel. Ego is also guilty of this with their “running cost Vs ICE”. This has to be the most honest and best user case review on the internet so far!
When it comes to 2 stroke it really makes no difference i just run at no higher then 40:1 mix on everything as long as you use quality oil it really makes no difference you can always add a splash more into a specific tool if you have an old saw or blower that takes 20:1 or something but it wont hurt a 50:1 running 40:1 more lube is better to a certain extent
Cheers for the info, I've nicked my cord just wondering the best way to go about fixing it?
Great video and a lot of tips for maintaining the tools! I checked all the videos you got but I couldn't find the video you mentioned for the handhold hedge trimmers. I assume the blade part is the same, but do I need to grease the handhold trimmer like the attachment? If so a video would be so helpful. Keep up the good work!
G’day thanks for this episode .. it is an awesome tool .. I used mine on the nightstand..I’m actually considering getting the lt0300 as its temperature is adjustable .. Cheers ..!
G’ Day .. I use an ego mower With the bagger .. what do you do with the clippings .. mine go in a hole where a tree used to be .. or in thinly spread on low spots in the gravel driveway.. until I bring in the next bit of gravel .. .. also I don’t know if you have the ego worklight.. but if you do I’m curious what you think about .. Thanks very much ..

Hey Steve We generally take the grass clippings to the dump, but depending on the lawn if we mulch back in.
How does the multi tool chainsaw head compared to the commercial chainsaw head !! I really need a good pole chainsaw But would like to add the hedge ?
Hey, Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to use the EGO commercial telescopic chainsaw. I believe it would be better than the multi tool as it has more weight in the head with the motor in the head. I love the chainsaw attachment on the multi tool though at one extension pole it bounces on the branches and doesn't give the best cut. It can shudder from lack of weight. I have used the Stihl telescopic chainsaw and it works fantastic. My friend from Darling down tree service uses the Stihl battery telescopic chainsaw and loves it. I have the Stihl MSA 161 T arborist battery chainsaw and absolutely love it. At the time I purchased ego didn't have the arborist, since ego has bought out the small arborist chainsaw you need to have the batter with a cord which I don't like. Plus is has a regular chain compared to the micro on Stihl. The micro chains are more expensive but a superior cut. Thank you for watching and I hope this answers some questions. Happy to help more Scotty
@@1greenthumbgardeningtwba thank you Scotty for a detailed answer. I appreciate that. I just bought the commercial telescopic 10 inch titanium chainsaw. It was $800 US with 5.0 amp battery and charger and I also bought the original multi tool non-titanium. 10 inch chainsaw with 20 inch hedge trimmer also non-titanium.. with I believe 2.5 amp battery and charger. That was $399 US. I believe that's what you're using in your videos with a 5.0 battery? I am waiting for them to arrive. I'll let you know how it turns out. . The videos I've seen with the ego commercial telescopic chainsaw. Looks like it works pretty well on even 8to 10 inch limbs with a little bit of choking, but can get that job done and on 4 to 6 inch limbs no problem. We will see... Your videos are very clear and got me going down this whole rabbit hole to order both because I originally ordered the commercial telescopic chainsaw ... But then saw your video and realized how for hedge clipping, it's not as functional as the multi tool .. plus I find it hard to find on the site, the commercial hedge clipper attachment for commercial telescopic head pole? Anyway, it looks like I've got some comparison to do in the next coming weeks when they arrive .. Thanks again for your reply and excellent videos. Keep up the great work. Look forward to watching more. G'day to ya!
Help! this is so helpful, but I want to buy the commercial for the chainsaw portion? SOO,, my question is, how does the multi tool chainsaw compared to the commercial chainsaw?? If anyone has any help answers please ? thank you. Great video. ! And great work and camera work too
Dang that’s some smooth hedging. Even with the longer trimmer you had no issues with the smaller plants but could you explain what you did at 7:08?
Hey Mate, There was a pest tree there. If you have a look at 6:53 you will notice the difference in foliage. I can’t remember what it was, since then I have learnt that to poison a plant it is best to do it within 15-30 seconds before the healing process and it draws the chemical in.
@@1greenthumbgardeningtwba ahhh I see now, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you
Thank you. BTW@12 min double audio
Great information, thanks
Thank you 🥰
Hi
Hi. 😊
Why use shade cloth
It dries quicker than a tarp, cheaper and doesn’t rip as easy. Thanks.
Cheers … does it matter time of year when you cut back that hard? Should you not do a hard cut back in winter?
Hi, that is the correct way to do it. I always advise customers that with hard cut backs coming into winter that the recovery is going to be very slow and it will be bald , in this situation 3 months before regrowth. As we are not cutting the sides hard back the hedge will still look ok The customer wanted me to do it anyway. Then it becomes case of if I don't do it someone else will. I appreciate your comment Thank you Scotty
Hey Scott, Thanks for the video and info! It's really helped me with my gardening equipment maintenance. keep up the good work!
Hey mate, thank you very much for the feedback, Very much appreciated 👍
Way to go
