Husqvarna 123HD60 Double Sided Hedge Trimmer

A lightweight double sided hedge trimmer. With hardened blades with adjustable shear action, like good hand shears, the blades must not spread under load as this will tear the hedge.

The spring suspended chassis is taken from the 'pro range' 325's giving extremely low vibrations for all day use. The 'E' start engine unit is taken from the old ultra reliable 122L brushcutter (a superbly reliable unit from a few years ago) but has now catalytic converter. To date I've yet to have one of these machines fail.
