HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Hi there! This is Old Iron Acres! -- This Video is about managing a long driveway, and fighting back nature to keep it looking nice, and stopping bushes and plants from taking it over! Mainly, this is a review of a Makita Model #XNU01Z Pole Hedge Trimmer (Tool Only) and alternately Model #XNU01T Pole Hedge Trimmer (Tool/18-Volt LXT Battery/Charger). We hope this is helpful to you. We're hoping to put up videos of DIY projects, renovations, repairs, property improvement videos, chainsaws, UTV's, tractors, z-turn mowers, and more! -- Let me know if there's something you'd like to see more of, and definitely let me know if you know how to do something easier, or if I can do something better!

Thanks for Watching!
I want one to clear my personal mountain bike trails! Thanks so much for doin this!!
@@winnguyen443 they really surprisingly sip battery life, and are fantastic up to about finger size sticks. I still love it. It would be great for trail maintenance, other than I ran it for 3 hours this weekend and my arms are hurting from the workout! LOL (they aren’t too heavy, but over hours - they do have weight!!). I hope you get one and enjoy it!!!
Wood ash in a powder form is an absolutely terrific free fertilizer. I mix it into the soil when planting stuff or just spread it anywhere I feel fertilizing is required. Just don't apply it to lawns that people move on immediately after, unless there is no rain in the immediate forecast. Rain washes the ash from grass into the ground and the effect is typically quite fast and quite stark, you can often see which patches of the lawn got more ash as they become thicker and darker ;). Of course, you have to pick the metal stuff out of the ash (that goes into the scrap heap or whoever is collecting metal waste), but I suppose you do it anyway. It's worse when the metal bits are small. Nails, screws and alike are very tough to find in the pile of ash (unless you have one of those large magnets used for magnet fishing), so I try removing them before burning the wood as much as possible.
Edit: wood ash can drive down the acidity of the soil, so not to be overused for plants that like acid environment. But if you want to neutralize the acid soil, then you basically get two rabbits with a single shot.
Thanks! I've struggled with what to do with it... I suppose I ought to just toss some around and see what it does!! Thanks for watching and the comment! It's motivated me to do something with the ash!!
I love mine...that looks like a great driveway all trimmed back..I suspect it’s about time to start using it again..
It definitely is about that time. The plants/trees are starting to grow and reach out to get me!!! (I still love it too)
Thanks for watching!!
You need a laser gun trimmer, that will clean it up fast (an inventor like you can get that done). Wanna hear something funny? I use a small "leaf blower" to blow out the dust bunnies behind my studio desk / acoustic tiling (which has a spaghetti nest of cables) to a place that my Dyson can suck up all that studio dust!
Nice t-shirt! Set up a store to sell those.
Can I get one of those on Amazon?? LOL -- That's hilarious w/ your dust bunnies. Tricks of the trade! T-Shirt Shop is interesting idea... maybe in a future after a few more videos.... see how this goes!!!
Do you think it can replace a "normal" hedge trimmer ? I can't decide which of the 2 to buy first
I do! I have both… and haven’t touched my normal smaller hedge trimmer in years! I always go for the larger one. I hope that helps!! Thx for watching, and the comment! Best, - J. Andre. /Old Iron Acres
@@OldIronAcres It helps, thank you very much for the reply. The blade is a tiny bit shorter but all the different uses you showed seem really interesting/useful. Thanks
@@kz.irudimen Good luck!
6:40 you scared me hopefully that battery wasn’t in there when you adjusted the head. Your leg was fairly close to the trigger. Anyway how do you like the hedge trimmer seems to be the best out there.
Thx for the comment, and watching @TheLawnFellas !! - Hahahah. Yeah, going back and watching I can see what you’re talking about. But it’s off screen, and I think I’m holding a bar right before the teeth to adjust the head angle. I still have all my fingers! Still love the trimmer. It just rocks. I have a smaller hand held makita hedge trimmer and I don’t think I’ve used it more than once sense owning this. It’s fantastic! You’ll love it.
@@OldIronAcres awesome thanks I think I am definitely gonna get one. Seems like they hit gas power CPM.
Can this type of makita's stick be extended ?
This model does not extend. But it's got to be around 5-6' long, and it can reach quite high above your head! - - I'm editing a video right now using this tool again on the driveway, and reach up pretty high to get some branches.... and it's still awesome!! Thanks for watching!
ive had a few of these now, the head after a while slips out of locked position, have sent it back to makita a number of times and they don't know how to fix it. after 3 times being sent back still with the fault they sent me a replacement unit and after 8 months thats doing the exact same thing so its clearly a manufacturing fault. other than that they are good but the fault makes them almost useless as 1 slip and you've taken the top out of a hedge or a bush you didn't want to
@bidders77 ...interesting. I've had mine almost 2 years now. I haven't experienced that at all. I use it probably just under once a month, and every spring/summer use it all day on my long driveway. I'll keep an eye out for that in the future! Thanks for the warning...Thanks for watching... and Thanks for the comment!!
@@OldIronAcres no worries. I use mine almost every week at least 5 times or more. It's infuriating. Under warranty still though so I'll be sending it back as many times as it takes to get it sorted. Clearly a weak point. Even slips out of lock if I have the red collar held tight to stop it moving. Does it more often on twiggy stuff, not so much with fresh growth but it still does it. Drives me mad....have taken chunks out of customers shrubs on a number of occasions now. They aren't cheap at £300
@bidders77 Wow... that's a lot of use! I'd probably grab a stihl for that much use! That's my goto for chainsaws, and pro-grade lawn tools. But I do Love my Makita though!!
le problème chez makita se son les batterie elle ne tienne pas longtemps g acheter le débrousailleuse et au bout d'a peine 30 mn les batterie son vide de plus c un deux fois 18 donc 36 VOLT c bien quand tu travaille pour toi chez toi tranquille mais si tu commence a travailler pour quelque autres personne c pas possible
Yes (I think I'm translating your comment correctly), the batteries can be limiting. I have a pair of great 5-ah batteries, and I've yet to kill both on one job with this trimmer. With that said... I'm going to guess that I'm getting just over an hour (?) of working time for each battery on full power. Yes you'd need more batteries if you wanted to use one all day. I don't think my arms could take that! LOL. Thanks for your comment!
salut g finaleent acheter se taille haie makita une question quand tu relache la gachette l'apareille se coupe ou pas le miens se coupe quelque seconde apres d'avoir lacher la gachette obliger d'êtres en obliger d'êtres toujours appuyer pour le fonctionnement de l'appareille si tu relache il ne reste plus en mode fonctionnement un peut galère je trouve
Hi. Thanks for watching. If I'm translating your question correctly... for me, the trigger the device is very responsive both starting to cut, and to stop cutting. It's can't be more than a second to get up to speed, or to stop. Probably less! -- I hope that helps!
@@OldIronAcres Bonjour l'amie oui c un peut dommage quand on la lache la gache pour le fonctionnement de la la lame il se coupe assez rapidement et obliger de le remerte en bode de fonctionnement avec le bouton marche selui qui a les position de mode de fonctionnement au final tu ne peut pas lacher la gache sans que l'appareille se coupe c un peut chiant quand même g un debrouisailleur makitz aussi deux fois 18 volt quand tu la lache la gache de fonctionnement l'appareille ne se coupe pas et reste en mode de fonctionnement et tu peut rebosser avec sans qu'il se coupe
@@lucianopanarelli1546 I find the trigger to be fairly light and not too hard to hold. Thanks for the update!
I’m on my 34th Makita 18v (or 18v x 2) tool ... it’s a rabbit hole that I often go down because the battery stuff is just so flippen cool!
I don’t have this pole hedger, but do have the 36v rotating body one... maybe have to look into this pole version.
Yup. That sounds about right! Once you're in their system, and invested in the batteries....you're hooked! I love my Makita gear. The trimmer is still awesome. I have learned that the more you angle the head, the more arm fatigue kicks in... but it's not bad, unless you're using it for hours (but that would be a lot of trimming!)
mais il y a la nouvelle gamme de chez makita se son des batterie en 40 VOLT donc plus puissante et en terme de temps aussi j'espère mais on monte bien plus en gamme de prix moi je vais acheter du sthil en taille haie a batterie et après je vois acheter aussi d'autres appareille comme la débrousailleuse que je pourrais utiliser les même batterie et je revendrais le makita avec chargeur double et 4 batterie 18 volt 5 ampère
I haven't (yet) entered the Makita 40v tool universe. That will be a dangerous move for my wallet!! LOL - Thanks for your comment!
@@OldIronAcres oui c vrais le prix n pas du tout le même c vrais après avoir se que sa vaux aussi
moi je vais a présent me penchez pour du sthil semi pro c autres chose mais c aussi bien plus cher
I do love Sthil products, but I don't own any of their battery products (yet). So... in my opinion... once you're within a battery brand, you tend to stay to use the batteries on other tools - thus saving cost! Hence, I own a lot of Makita battery 18v products. But I will have to take a look at the sthil version of this next time I'm in the dealership. - Thanks for the comment!!
@@OldIronAcres moi je n que la débrousailleuse makita deux fois 18 volt 5 ampère avec un chargeur double g acheter deux autres batterie pour un peut plus d'autonomie mais vue que je n que sa c pour sa que je vais changer pour du sthil en terme de matériel de jardin c plus pro le makita je dirais que c quand même plus pour le particulier qui fait son jardin de temps en temps et tranquille aussi
@@lucianopanarelli1546 - I'd say the Makita is overkill for a neighborhood (less than 1-2 acres) home, and fantastic for an estate, or larger property (2-80 acres). Probably not a perfect fit for a landscape company, using the tool daily, or all day long)... but batteries usually fail at that level due to many factors (my opinion), and gas powered becomes a better option. - I really like this unit, but haven't tried the Sthil. But I love my Sthil gas chainsaws!! Good luck!
