@@sebastian56309 Who da hell said anything about the size of the bush's! I merely said its a good place for thugs to hide! Its still an awesome tool,,,
Thank you for showing everyone this great invention. I will be purchasing one my self. I work hard for 21 days at a time on a oil rig. Anything that can help me on my days off is always a plus. Thanks and god bless.
It's not lazy mate, it's working smart. Intresting product, can see a place for it, anything that makes life easier and help you on a job, is always a good thing. 👌👍
Even pulling a throttle trigger hurts doing this all day thru the summer months. Anything to save wear and tear on your body and physical mental fatigue is a great help. Thanks for the video!
That was amazing. That would have been great when my husband had 250 feet of honeysuckle hedge to trim. We will definitely be checking it out for our pole saw to trim our tree branches. We finally have a product in Canada that we can actually check out. It appears to offer great support for your lower back as well, I would imagine. Thank you so much Brad for featuring this great accessory for us. The last of our snow left last week and we've been working on the lawn and gardens and now have a lot of big pine and spruce trees to trim. Fantastic video.
The only thing good about trimming that much honeysuckle is probably the smell! We used to have some on my childhood home growing over the mailbox. I always volunteered to check the mail when they bloomed to smell them and get a few drops of 'honey'! ;)
Whoa! You made this Granny tired--even with the new tool! I've done my share of trimming overgrown hedges and that still looked like WORK!. God bless you!
Anyone who says that it's lazy is an ignorant somebody who has never used a pole saw for more than 2 minutes. Also it looks super weird by itself without the hedge trimmer attached
if you can't hold a pole saw for more than 2 mins you probably shouldn't be using the a saw in general. and yes i would still call this lazy, if the last 7 years of landscaping has taught me anything, it's that this is not practical to use for every job. Sure if all you did was trim larger shrubs with a pole trimmer and nothing else day in and day out, it's a perfect fit. but for most landscapers this is just a novel idea.
Mastering Lawncare It does look pretty wild without the tool attached! The1Rice I do agree that unless you are doing hedges for at least 45 minutes, it isn't worth breaking out UNLESS you have some physical issues. That being said, if I had this during that 2 hour crepe mrytle job I had, I wouldn't have injured my shoulder and gone through everything that comes with it. I also think probably more solo guys would get this than any other group, I doubt employers are going to drop the cash for this for their employees! Great feedback, thanks for sharing!
XD Too funny. Yes, I look like a complete weirdo wearing it, especially before I hook the tool up and am just standing there! "Looks so bad, feels so good"?
Yeah, 30-45 minutes? I would probably just use hedge trimmers like normal. Anything over an hour I am strapping this thing on. 3 hours? Should be mandatory! ;)
Wow, such a simple and innovative idea. I bet those big professional-grade trimmers start to feel very heavy on the arms and wrists after a couple of hours use. Like all great ideas, once you see it you immediately think "why hasn't anyone thought of this before?"
This things all over the UK where hedges are much more prominent than the States, at least here in CA. I personally love living fences and wish it was a lot more popular than it is. Awesome video. You got a good score there man. Your back thanks you haha
Its It's a really cool idea. If the office is right some people wouldn't say it's lazy. It's not something I personally would need but im in that category of homeowner that doesn't do this for a living. Really cool.
Holy cow what a great idea! Absolutely anything you can do to lessen the body strain is always worth trying. I might get this for my stepdad. The fools that say this is lazy, are just plain ignorant, and they will wish for one as soon as they actually use a hedge trimmer.
These types of equipment are a huge benefit to solo operators where the work load is not split up amongst several workers I suffer from a lot of shoulder pain being a solo operator myself I like this product
I stopped using 2cycle hedge trimmers and went to the battery pack trimmers with pole extensions. For most typical jobs it is a godsend, Alot less weight and no exhaust fumes in my face! This is a great tool tho for those hard to reach areas.
I like it. Wish this was around when I was in business in the 80s. Another good invention would be an ultra light blade configuration on a flexible shaft/cable with the motor on the ground. Relieving the forward weight is the problem with hedge trimming. Good job!
I just did a hedge trim job today. The hedge was about 3 and a half feet tall and half a block long...... no lie. It took me 3 hours to complete the job and this device would have made the job easier. I don't do much hedge trimming so I am not sure if this would be worth it. Great product though, looks like it takes the strain of holding the machine up.
Good night, that is a big hedge! You will have to make sure it is worth it, but it is one of those tools that makes your life so much easier and comfortable, I don't think you would regret it. Just my opinion, though!
I completely agree. I am pretty sure I am the first US guy to showcase these, so hopefully if they feel there is enough of a market they might plan for expansion in the future!
🤔 Interesting, I would have to Try it First but Not Sure On this one Brad. Thanks for Sharing as Always, Hope all is Well, Take Care and Be Safe Out Their 🇺🇸
I have a ranch and need to keep the tree limbs trimmed so that I can drive my tractor under them. Would this help in using a pole saw cutting overhead?
That is cool but on another note, which pole type hedge trimmer would you recommend if you were going out to buy one, something heavy duty. I need some for occasional use on some property and never see any decent one's used on craigslist like I normally buy all my stuff.
@@CopperCreekCuts Glad it worked for you but haven't had a lot of luck with poulan myself, aside from an old 2150 from like 1990. Had a poulan "pro" saw someone gave me, had to take it out of it's misery with a 9mm one hot day.
Hi there, Thank you for your great video, I came across this product a couple of months ago and I thought then what a great idea! It's a very unusual looking product and I am all for having something that makes work easier in the garden, however, I don't like gimmicks! However, looks like a really good genuine product and I believe it could help many people. I know what it's like to hold a petrol hedge cutter all day, especially if it's a long reach machine. I haven't actually seen one of these harnesses in the flesh, however, if people knew about them I'm sure that they would sell and be very popular with contractors. Thanks again for the great video. PS: I have just subscribed your channel.

Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care Aweee thank you so much...so you think doing the edge is better with a non string trimmer? I laughed so hard at your video bc at 1:08 I thought I heard ‘YOU’RE A BEANER”...🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 I know you did not say that but I thought it sounded funny. I am half Mexican and half Lebanese. It was funny the way you said it...🌟🌟🌟 Let me know on the edge please. So far with my line trimmer it looks like I made a trail for hamsters..
You could put a beer holder in it near the end of the day and try to chase it for a while. Ok, just joking around. That thing is awesome. Damn right it will save on injuries etc.
I tried your link but we do not have facebook, to look at the GT 2. Does the Canadian company have a website. I tried to google it but got nowhere. Thank you for your time.
I will update the description with the website as well! You might have to translate the page from French (look for an option at the top right of google chrome when the page loads), but here is the link: www.novaforequipement.com/index.php?id_product=1046&controller=product&search_query=gtm&results=1
In Germany we Call this yard device a "heckenschere" for hegde clipper with engine. Or "motorsense" for trimmer with engine. And the hookup for your back is a holder, in German "halter". So you can say its a "motorsensenhalter" or maybe a "motorsensenhalter". I know a lot of lawn care guys around my area and all of them use thes attachements, because it safe you. Like your shoulder injury. Sorry for my rusty school english. Like your work and your videos😊
Well it looks like your 'rusty school english' was better than my 'google translate german'! :D Thank you for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! :)
I could use one of those. Only thing is will it fit someone like me who is unfortunately overweight. I would consider one though. I could use it for sure.
I consider myself overweight and it fits! ;) That is a great question. Give me some time (I don't know when the next video on this product will post) to do some measurements and I will include that in the overview. Thanks for the comment!
Awesome, hey buddy where did you get your business logo? I would really like to make one like that for mine business its cool! Did someone make it for you? Could you point me to the right direction please thanks!
I imagine the ET will make trimming-in-a-straight-line easier too, since you can just hold the trimmer at a constant level and swing it across the hedge much more easily... once the "work" is done and you're putting the finishing touches on. On the subject of keeping things straight while you're working, do you ever use anything like stakes and string or markers of some kind, to keep yourself on track for a straight line on a long hedge? Or just eyeball it as you go? (I ask because I don't think eyeballing works well for me)
Eyeballing doesn't work well for me either, but it is what I usually do. I tried to run a string line one time and it got in the way and kept getting stuff hung up on it (this was for a BIG reduction, so heavy limbs falling on it kept messing it up).
With the same logic, people who tell you in the coments this is laziness, should write a letter and send it in the mail, becаuse using internet for it is laziness..
I agree, too! Unless you have a hedge row or something (which 99% of people here locally do NOT), it is more of a commercial application than homeowner. Thanks for watching and commenting!
How tight is the recoil? By that I mean does it want to pull the tool up or just kind of holds it there. Looks awesome! I will totally get one when they start selling them here
I think that is why they say don't use anything less than 6.6 pounds. If you do, the recoil will actually pull it up and that is no bueno, you don't want something flying up towards you without you meaning to do it. Heavier than 6.6 and it just kind of holds it where you yank the weight down to. Obviously there are areas of gray in both directions depending on where you have it clipped and what kind of tool, etc, but generally speaking that is what I find to be true. Great question!
Those who would call this lazy are the same people who would advocate taking a pair of dressmaker shears to a lawn and cutting the blades of grass one by one... ( aka : the foolish ones )
You speak better French than I do, Brad, and I've lived in Canada all my life. But then I don't know anyone else that speaks French either. Pourquoi? C'est la vie.
Looks like you could B.A.S.E. jump with that thing. That device would definitely be useful on jobs with large shrubs. A hedge trimmer isn't very heavy, but when you extend your arms out at shoulder level holding one it might as well weigh 50 lbs.
Ive been running a landscape biz for 26 years and have back issues and nothing bothers my back more than trimming shrubs !! Id rather install brick pavers than trim shrubs
Brad, there is absolutely NO WAY I would have been able to do a job of that size without that system. I would have not even bid something like that, knowing that my arms would be noodles after about 30/40 mins max. Prob. sooner.... One thing to be cautious though, don't leave it on, in the middle of a filed with a lighting storm approaching.... Dirty Jersey out!!!!
While I can see the benefit in this, I can also see it creating bad habits which can injure. Your reaching was a perfect example. When I worked on the ambulance, we replaced our manual stretchers with nice, fancy power ones. No more lifting a stretcher with a patient. Simply push a button and let the hydralics do the work for you. Good way to save your back, right? Well unfortunately it led to a lot of bad habits and didn't prevent back injuries. It just made it so EMT's stopped working out their backs and started getting lazy when required to lift. Point I'm making, is don't get so distracted by the convience that you become lazy in your safety. Don't develop the bad habits that will cause you injury.
Not a bad point at all, I completely agree. Just because I CAN shove that thing 15 feet out and run it with one hand doesn't mean I should. Great point, and I appreciate the feedback and reminder!
I am sure it depends on your location and the shrub, but most of the stuff we have down here in FL is pretty resilient. It will look like garbage for a month or so then start filling in just fine.
Who gives a shit that this is considered lazy. Anything that makes the job easier and more efficient is totally okay to use. With this thinking; let's trim a hedge with pruning scissors because "using hedge trimmer machine is lazy." lol. As a landscape gardener I can confirm that holding a long-reach hedgetrimmer for a longer period on daily basis is freaking exhausting. You can use that energy for other work with this device. Nice work btw! Cheers
Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it and I think you are right about saving time and cutting more. At the end of the day if I can do that, why wouldn't I?
Depends on the exchange rate, but around $360 bucks. www.novaforequipement.com/index.php?id_product=1046&controller=product&search_query=elephant+trunk&results=1
I love when people call new tech lazy. While sitting on the couch watching RUclips on their cellphones. Than off to brush their teeth with an electric toothbrush. Electric heat. Drive a car. Life changes. Not utilising an aid isn't brave. It's stupid.

Do you feel like you're fighting the counterweight system when you have to angle the tool down?
Yes, but if you attach it to the handle instead of the shaft you don't have that issue.
And once an extension is on it is heavy enough you don't fight it.
I need one !! My arms and back be super sore after a long day of using hedge trimmer
I know, right? Very helpful!
Seems to me that it helps you make pretty level cuts. How does it do on vertical motions?

Eyeballing doesn't work well for me either, but it is what I usually do. I tried to run a string line one time and it got in the way and kept getting stuff hung up on it (this was for a BIG reduction, so heavy limbs falling on it kept messing it up).
Just did some hedges over the weekend. My forearms were absolutely killing after two hours I could barely hold the trimmer on the last one. Hahaha
That is the same with me! After 2 hours I am pretty much done and need a long break! XD
With the same logic, people who tell you in the coments this is laziness, should write a letter and send it in the mail, becаuse using internet for it is laziness..
Great idea, but $255 US..... Kinda pricey for homeowners, but awesome for the pro’s.
CU96821 agreed
I agree, too! Unless you have a hedge row or something (which 99% of people here locally do NOT), it is more of a commercial application than homeowner. Thanks for watching and commenting!
How tight is the recoil? By that I mean does it want to pull the tool up or just kind of holds it there. Looks awesome! I will totally get one when they start selling them here
I think that is why they say don't use anything less than 6.6 pounds. If you do, the recoil will actually pull it up and that is no bueno, you don't want something flying up towards you without you meaning to do it. Heavier than 6.6 and it just kind of holds it where you yank the weight down to. Obviously there are areas of gray in both directions depending on where you have it clipped and what kind of tool, etc, but generally speaking that is what I find to be true. Great question!
Your pronounciation on "Heckenschnittmaschiene" is well done. (That word sounds german by itself)
Greetings from Krautland
XD Thank you for making me feel better about myself! :) Hello from Florida!
Juergen, why this ugly "Krautland" comment? Germany is an awesome country, with wonderful people, except for Merkel.
@@brianandlynphilippines
It should seem like some kind of self-ironic.
im more inpressed by your weedwacker cutter than the tool
Oh yeah, the hedge trimmers do great work as well! :)
It would be cool if it had something to hold the motor up 2 like a pulley system but it is very cool
Maybe a development for the ET3?! ;)
Well it's me again not watching you late only 8 pm UK time I must say I love a clean looking bush good job sir
Haha, that is much more responsible than the last time! ;) Glad to have you back mate!
Who doesn't?
How would it work with tall hedges? I have hedges that are over my head.
Thats definitely a genius invention!
I thought so too! Definitely one of those 'why haven't I seen this before' things!
Fishing for bushes lol... What did u catch
XD
Those who would call this lazy are the same people who would advocate taking a pair of dressmaker shears to a lawn and cutting the blades of grass one by one... ( aka : the foolish ones )
XD Well said!
You speak better French than I do, Brad, and I've lived in Canada all my life. But then I don't know anyone else that speaks French either. Pourquoi? C'est la vie.
LOL Life is strange, indeed! ;)
Man i like that very much....looks like it's good on your back.....can you use it when your using the weed eater as well.....
Yeah! I don't think I would, I have really tiny properties, but on a big commercial property? Better believe I would use it to string trim!
Looks like you could B.A.S.E. jump with that thing.
That device would definitely be useful on jobs with large shrubs. A hedge trimmer isn't very heavy, but when you extend your arms out at shoulder level holding one it might as well weigh 50 lbs.
LOL B.A.S.E. jumping you say? *has idea for next video*
Hope your shoulder gets better
Thank you!!!
It reminds me of that cartoon with the dog running with the bone tied in front of it lol
XD It doubles as a great workout tool! ;)
I would so buy it just for that lol
Next time use the mortar joints as a guide and you will at least be somewhat level.
Excellent tip, thank you for sharing!
Ive been running a landscape biz for 26 years and have back issues and nothing bothers my back more than trimming shrubs !! Id rather install brick pavers than trim shrubs
LOL that says something right there. Sorry for the back issues, they are the absolute worst!
You killed it!
Haha, homeowner's wife thought the same thing. Everything is coming back beautifully, and the holly already needs to be trimmed again!
Brad, there is absolutely NO WAY I would have been able to do a job of that size without that system. I would have not even bid something like that, knowing that my arms would be noodles after about 30/40 mins max. Prob. sooner.... One thing to be cautious though, don't leave it on, in the middle of a filed with a lighting storm approaching.... Dirty Jersey out!!!!
Hey.....you just gave me my next ET2 video idea! :P
@@CopperCreekCuts Glad I could help bud!!!
I'm here in the USA, where can I purchase one of these harness?
Did you read the description?
I live in Hawai’i, where in the US can I get this from? Where did you order from?
While I can see the benefit in this, I can also see it creating bad habits which can injure. Your reaching was a perfect example. When I worked on the ambulance, we replaced our manual stretchers with nice, fancy power ones. No more lifting a stretcher with a patient. Simply push a button and let the hydralics do the work for you. Good way to save your back, right? Well unfortunately it led to a lot of bad habits and didn't prevent back injuries. It just made it so EMT's stopped working out their backs and started getting lazy when required to lift. Point I'm making, is don't get so distracted by the convience that you become lazy in your safety. Don't develop the bad habits that will cause you injury.
Not a bad point at all, I completely agree. Just because I CAN shove that thing 15 feet out and run it with one hand doesn't mean I should. Great point, and I appreciate the feedback and reminder!
Well said...excellent point
How well do the hedges do being cut that much at once? I am trying to work mine back and I’m worried about cutting too much at once.
I am sure it depends on your location and the shrub, but most of the stuff we have down here in FL is pretty resilient. It will look like garbage for a month or so then start filling in just fine.
Nice..I like it thanks
You are welcome, and thank you!
I do landscaping and I’m 21 and I definitely want 👍🏻
Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it! :)
Holly shit you really got carried away with those bushes
LOL The client needed them reduced because they couldn't maintain them anymore.
Good to have one.
Agreed! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Who gives a shit that this is considered lazy. Anything that makes the job easier and more efficient is totally okay to use. With this thinking; let's trim a hedge with pruning scissors because "using hedge trimmer machine is lazy." lol. As a landscape gardener I can confirm that holding a long-reach hedgetrimmer for a longer period on daily basis is freaking exhausting. You can use that energy for other work with this device. Nice work btw! Cheers
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! :)
I agree. Just because I can make a job easier on me doesnt mean its lazy. You save time and can probably cut more hedges that way too
Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it and I think you are right about saving time and cutting more. At the end of the day if I can do that, why wouldn't I?
That’s a great item I think
Thank you for the feedback and for watching! :)
Genius invention!!!!!!!
I have to agree!
Makes Lawn Care Easy As Pie
brad: never uses it anymore
I stumbled across this what’s your opinion 3 years later. I’m a old guy looking for anything to make job easier
Ehhhhhh, been at it for 21 years now. Not sure if I'd use that. Good idea though.
Thanks for the feedback! I admit, it makes a lot more sense once you try it. Up until then it looks VERY goofy! ;)
I'm fucking dead already, 44 look like I'm 64
When is it available in Australia
This site should help! www.crommelins.com.au/products/ground-care/gtm-elephants-trunk-harness/

The Echo attachments can be heavier.
Especially when you add a 3 foot extension to it!
@@CopperCreekCuts Reverse leverage.
Man you butchered those hedges
Yes, the client needed them much lower, they couldn't maintain them anymore at their current height.
Was waiting for this comment. I think it's his house so...
I love when people call new tech lazy. While sitting on the couch watching RUclips on their cellphones. Than off to brush their teeth with an electric toothbrush. Electric heat. Drive a car. Life changes. Not utilising an aid isn't brave. It's stupid.
Well said! Thank you for watching!
im waiting on mine 😁
