I was just going to order the M18 dedicated hedge trimmer. Now I will recalculate and either get the attachment or some other battery operated brand, maybe the Sthil.
I use Husqvarna predominantly, with a few Stihl in the mix. When it comes to a combi system, I use the Husqvarna 535LK pro combi, it's a absolute beast, and will deal with almost anything. It is a bit pricey, but worth every penny!
Its not hard to do. You just remove the shaft from the hedger and power. Then attach the hedger straight to the power head. I will have to try it with the pole saw next.
Red Max website seems to be indicating that articulated head is only available complete with power-unit (bummer gas) as LRTZ230. Is the head only available elsewhere? I'm not married to Red Max, but I AM totally over sharpening hedge-trimmer blades...so if there are other premium (hardened, as you mentioned) articulated hedge-trimmer heads out there, especially compatible with battery systems, I'm all ears.
Buy a new or used tube, shorten it a bit and have a person with a lathe make you a transition piece. You might retain strength then and be able to use your favourite tool.
This is the best, quickest solution. Ask the machine shop for an estimate on multiples, as it's often much cheaper per part if you get several as they can do 10 without much more time involved that a single since they would have the same setup for all 10 parts. Then you could offer a few for sale to recoup your cost and make a little $.
good info, thumbs up from me... i'm still waiting for a sale as i dont understand home depots pricing. hedge trimmer is $149, edger is $99, but the combo is over $280? makes no sense. i think a combo price should be $199 or better. compared to others on the market i think $149 for both could be the right price (for the attachments).
The 9.0AH you are using is a "high demand" battery and the 12.0AH is "high output" the 12.0 should be more powerfull, did you notice a difference? There are also 3.0 5.5 and 8.0AH high output batteries
The Milwaukee stuff is definitely built off of the old gas stuff. They have similar parts. Seems to be red max / Husqvarna. I don't know if you can switch it though.
@@lawnrush3098 you could try to fine a homing tool for the perfect size, but honesty its the shaft on the inside that matters, exterior is just the support. I'd imagine just reaming the pipe with a metal bit would be sufficient, as its measurements aren't as critical as the "drive shaft"

Great video. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks for sharing your video very informative.

Very insightful thx.
Dawg this was a great vid thank you
Thanks for watching. Drop a share somewhere.
Are you still able to use the articulating hedge trimmer with the extended section (back to original extended length) or is the connection modified?

You can use the redmax attachment on husqvarna and Tanaka
I have that redmax attachment it cuts super better then stihl and echo it's just heavy
Was debating on getting the Milwaukee M18 hedge trimmer 2726, however not dual action. Sucks I have the batteries.
how did you make the combi system short
@LawnRush: How did you take apart the powerhead and remove the quick attachment to shorten the hedge trimmer?

🤔 that's a good idea

I'm curious if you did go this route.
They sell Cylinder sandpaper that attaches to a Drill

How did you fit the attachment over the little notch after you took quick lock part off??
Batman Reviews did you get anywhere with this? How did you half the size of the hedge trimmer attachment ?
@@danielferraro3174 I did not im still looking to do this but its going to require milling off that notch on the quick lock part
Batman Reviews interesting. Let me know how you go.
Is the connector universal? I.e. could I attach my old standard petrol strimmmer attachments? Thanks

The milwaukee uses a torx style cable/key. I was disappointed because my gas trimmer attachments use a square key
Use a die grinder bit to open up the hole on that red max to fit the milwaukee
That's a good idea!
I wonder if it's possible to find the perfect size stone🤔
@@lawnrush3098 depends on your tool arsenal, dermal, drill or die grinder. I've used my dremal for a lot due to its rpms

I think you just pushed me toward husky
sharpen your blades then. A brand new hedge trimmer is super sharp
Weed eater MOTOR died. Haven’t used it much, 2 years old. I’m bummed
That's not good.
Milwaukee?
shots fired at ryobi lol. milwaukee for life
Why is there still no mower????
Idk.
There is now... but it's $1,000.00 :(
Dude don’t ream it out, twist it open wider with a pipe
It is not heavy duty! It is pity duty!
Or you could just try EGO
