Hello You Tube, it’s Rob from Maxwells Grass Cutting Services, based in the North East of England.
I have only gone and bought my first bit of battery equipment. Is this the start of a new journey. The Stihl HSA 26. Let me know, is battery equipment the way forward.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

Happy New Year.
Remember, when the green gold is growing, keep mowing.
All the best.

Got one a few years ago rob there ok but there only good for small jobs 😉
I've got the Stihl GTA26 which is the little Chainsaw pruner. Comes in the same type of case thing and uses the same battery. As you say. It's a nice to have, not a must have. Although I've used it more than I thought I would when I got it. I'd definitely consider a battery strimmer if you where thinking going down the battery route further. I've got an EGO and absolutely 100% wouldn't be without it.
looks great. I use a couple of old bed sheets to catch the cuttings
Personally I don’t think the electric tool avenue of garden machinery is as evolved yet to be useful for the commercial world . Guaranteed they could be useful for domestic use but its just not there yet to meet the standards for commercial use . Petrol/2-stroke is just better .
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.no no no.Engines all the way.power and noise.all the way
It's a start mate, but for that money you might as well bought another make of battery trimmer, for little jobs like that. Some makes are just as good and cheaper in price. I've got a couple of small battery trimmers for small quick light hedges, a bosch hedge trimmer and GTech long trimmer. Quick light weight, don't see the point of starting up a petrol engine for quick light weight trimming. I use them for cutting back flower beds as well. But of course the petrol tools for heavy duty.
Like any tool it's only as good as the operator. You've got that cracked Rob. A Stirling job. Great quality 👌
If you get a tarpaulin and its a plastic one, burn rather than cut it for the opening because it seals the strands.
that's a lovely cut that mate, ive made a note of it.cheers matey.
Everyone to there own not for me Rob. Looks more for the wife 😆😆
Hi Rob thanks for the video Must admitt I seen the birth of battery gardening tools and yes they have come on leaps and bounds in the last 20 years to start with they was terrible tbh and I agree with you they are a nice to have I've used many modern battery tools especially the stihl hand held chain saw for small fruit tree branches and they was flat within half hour I think they have their place but I'm very old school a nice edition to your armoury but 2 stroke is way of reach in comparison in my humble opinion nice for small jobs like you've demonstrated and fun to use ….nice bit of pruning looks well nice
Thumbs up from me 👍
You can't beat 2 stroke. Have used both petrol and electric extensively and good quality two stroke machines are just far, far superior. Not to say it does not have its place but needs lots more development on most items. Even the guy who i buy it from and is very reputable agrees with that.
neat and nifty!
Tidy Job Rob
Good to see you have given battery products a go, petrol tools will always a place though for the foreseeable future anyway. 👍
It has its uses Rob,I’ve used it to edge lawns when there’s a danger of kicking a stone into glass ( liked it so much I bought the rotary edger to fit the kombi ) Also it’s very easy to sharpen the blades 👍
Do you have any of you’re hats for sale
It’s a good feeling when you realise the tool you are using is totally perfect for the job In hand. Quality tool
I would get one rob but you know what it's like up north the piss pulling off the other gardeners would be never ending m8 if I'm up boldon I might get away with it
It's done a grand job as that tool Rob
There good units mate, in fairness a use battery even on me full size hedge trimmers now, less vibration etc. Won't go battery with anything else though can't justify it 👍
Full set of new electric gear for next season Rob? 😂 look forward to the reviews.
Hi great buy is this ok for a hedge looks good x
Get yourself a sthil battery power leaf blower, or leaf vacuum, its a game changer.
Class bit of equipment rob 👍
Had a few small jobs with this,helps out a little now and then,brought it because I'm a sthil slut,, blade quality's feels and looks a bit tinny.but it's part of my fleet now.appy new year feller.👍
It’s so cute haha but has its purpose 🙏👍👋
nice bit a kit rob
Try the mini chainsaw Rob that’s quality to great video
