If I can't reach something with my 2 step ladder I won't touch it any more. Not worth the risk.

Has anyone seen this attachment sold anywhere in Australia, the video was shot in 2009. It looks like it would work ok???

Or if you know a supplier, searching the net hasn't revealed much.
Thanks in advance.

it looks like a WH&S compliant machine, surely?
lol
Might be worth making contact with the manufacturer in France..
They have a website in English
www.cochet.biz
That's what I did when I was looking for a 4wd steep terrain mower ..
Saw a machine on utube that looked good ... Emailed AS-Motor in Germany.
They were very helpful and put me in touch with a person here in Aust who wad looking at importing the machines.
I bought one and am more than happy with the Sherpa940.
If AS-motor hadnt been tslkingwith someone here I am certain they would have been happy to ship one to me here.
Given the way that the French treat Aussies when I have travelled in France,
I reckon you would get a pretty positive response if you emailed the French maker.

Last week, i fell through a folded/ platform type ladder whilst hedging a 3 metre high hedge.
I stepped onto one of The metal planks that sit on top of the ladder / wasnt resting on the ladder's rail properly.
Down i went ending up stuck in the air. (I threw the hedger into the hedge) Eventually had to make the ladder fall over so i could get off it.
Injuries: badly bruised right forearm and a bit of bark off the legs.
Not doing any more high hedges. If i cant get to the hedge with the small contractors platform ( 1 metre high) then i wont do it...
It's a bad feeling when falling and you're holding onto a petrol hedger....

agree with that imoww , it can get the ol hart pumping in panic ,
Thats the funiest thing I have ever seen.. Imow I did the exact same thing about 12 months ago doing a hedge with a petrol hedger I was more imbaresed and lucky I dont think anyone saw me.. I was starting to get up before I hit the ground lol
Isn`t it funny that`s the first thing you do is see if anybody saw
instead of seeing if there is any blood or broken bones..
....Nothing like a good whipper....
Yep. I agree guys. I too looked around to see if anyone saw me.... Lucky the client was upstairs taking a shower at the time.

For the high stuff, I have a 5m A-Frame aluminmium ladder.
I lacked confidence on it at first, but having painted my 4.3m ceilings on it (detail work, so had to get up there and do it by hand), I got over the discomfort. Now, it's just a case of making sure it's well situated and solidly on the ground and then go for it with either a 20" hedger or a pole hedger.
Some of the earlier posts are dead right (no pun intended): working at heights of more than a couple of metres is subject to higher fees because it takes longer, no matter how good the operator is. Time is money.
The necessary caution to make sure that one completes the task without injury and maintain quality workmanship means a reduced work rate. Yes, there are people who are wearied of living out there, but I would bet that most ILMCOA members and other garden care pros are rather quite pleased to remain alive and working as long as possible. After all - we do this because we love what we do - and mostly that means making lots of people happy and making the world a more beautiful place.

Often the really high hedges aren't done that often. My preferred way is to climb it, then use a wolf garden 4m pole with anvil lopper. $150+ph seems to be reasonable.
