A local dealer then showed me the Tanaka range of strimmers/hedge
cutters/chainsaws.

Which models did you buy, Alan?

TBC230 strimer:

THT2000 hedgecutter - got the small one as it felt well balanced:

Alan.

I figured that these would probably be the ones, Alan.

I'm looking for a line trimmer/brush cutter and a hedge trimmer -
ideally long reach.

I noticed that Tanaka have a hedge trimmer as an attachment for the
TBC230 model but also a slightly different TBC230SF (Smartfit) with a
range of accessories. Did you look at any of those or was there a
particular reason to choose separate machines?
