    There only downside is an upside. The weight after repositioning it numerous times in garden beds can be taxing.
    The upside is that it REALLY adds to the stability.
    I have 3 which I have had for years but was concerned when the 19 seemed to dissapear from the market.
    I HIGHLY recommend these ladders.
    Although I dont often use this feature, in the pic u can see one side is higher than the other to compensate 4 the garden bed.
    Cheers Fred.

    Do it Courty, u wont regret it.
    One thing that concerned me (just a little) was that the new batch have the bottom rungs squashed & rivetted rather than welded.
    I assume this is a cost cutting exercise, but I think they would still be a good ladder.
    Cheers Fred.

    Yes Paul, I do.
    They maynot have quite the wide stance as dedicated trestles, but are still very stable.
    Sometimes this can also be an advantage in some situations, eg where only a narrow path is between a high hedge & a swimming pool.
    Cheers Fred.

    It's the same as my Transforma ladder, mine was probably more expensive ? $295. if I remember right, got some work platforms, leg levellers and a house stand off. I have used them all to trim hedges and remove Ivy like Fred's job. Great job Fred. They make it so easy to get into most places.

    Pics of a hedge I did this morning, had to reduce height by 1.2mtrs, used my Stihl Multitool KM90 used chainsaw for reducing height and then finished tidying up with hedger on multitool, took 4 hr in total which included going to tip. Nice earn of $220.00 also cut a tree down to ground level today so was a $350.00 morning wish i could earn that every 1/2 day thats all I would work.Olive Hedge 149 Loftus.jpgOlive hedge 2 149 Loftus.jpgOlive hedge 3 149 Loftus.jpgOlive hedge 4 149 Loftus.jpg

    Top Job DavidS.

    Did a little bit of hedging today too, didnt take long to get sore arms holding the Tanaka hand-held hedger above shoulder height, will have to look into a multi if I get a lot of work for it.

    cheers

    Woodchip, bite the bullet and get one. I use it heaps for all sorts of jobs. Once you have one you can use it for jobs you used use hand tools for and other things as well. Make certain you pay for a quality tool. I have tried cheap ones and the Stihl is so much better.
