I have the course cut and fine cut variants. They are great. Washing with WD40 and a brush can work wonders. What would we do without those flap wheels... they work a treat on flails as well.

Nice one, yeh flap disks are great, very handy 👍

Hi got same hedge trimmer get heavy as you get older

[@RJLmachinery]

Yeh i feel that 😅. Its always a toss up between speed/efficiency and felling knackered, if i choose to use this trimmer over others.

Hi thanks for the video 👍 what sort of grease do you use?

[@RJLmachinery]

Just a general multi purpose lithium grease, Whatever i have on hand anyway and needs using up 😅

Hi, great video. I've got the HS87R. If I'm ever to renew the blades, can I fit "T" blades for finer finish?

[@RJLmachinery]

I think the T blades will fit, but the gear ratio is different between the models, T has a faster stroke rate, so not sure how well the finer blades would cut going slower on an R model 🤷‍♂, cheers.

Cheers, thanks for the info. 😎
