I have 1,000 feet of Leyland hedges and I'm getting old at 73. I build a box out of 2x6's with a pallet on top and plywood over the pallet and bolted it to my tractor bucket. I lift it into place and use a ladder to get into the bucket when I'l alone. When I have a helper - he stays in the bucket and I move the tractor along. I'm to old to work on top of the hedge, but good on you.

I hate using sheets when hedging. You have to do piece by piece, if your not going straight on your first pass, you have to put the sheets down again. You also have to keep switching between sides and top + cleaning up and hedging. My advice is to just lightly rake it, and use the rake with a snow shovel to pick up the clippings. Then lightly blow over it with the leafblower. Raking is an art. Everyone his own tchnique, result is what counts👍

The 283cm longreach hl94ce is hard on the back..i prefer to use the stepladders all over that hedge you just did with a 24 or 30 inch standard trimmer, Get a real nice finish but no wonder im dead im running up and sown the ladder moving it everywhere hanging off it in every direction .. must learn to use my hl94 with more confidence..i only use it to trimm the top back that i cant reach. Really love your tripod .. thinkin its a 10ft henchman
