I know someone who has a red max weed whacker that has a hedge attachment.

See
http://www.redmax.com/productcart/pc...3&idproduct=44
http://www.redmax.com/productcart/pc...3&idproduct=44

for one variation

Echo has one too
http://www.echo-usa.com/prods_list.a...gory=PROATTACH

and

here for dedicated long reach trimmers
http://www.echo-usa.com/prods_list.a...y=HEDGECLIPPER

I like the combo units, you have less junking up your shed. Red-max and
echo are pro grade top quality units and will be priced accordingly.
Echo may have something in a homeowner line at the big box store too.

I never saw a trimmer with more than a short cord, You will probably
need more than 16ga or you can burn out your trimmer, be sure to size it
right, I have a gas trimmer, your hedge from the back of a pickup would
be easy. Let your wife cut it if she has to have it 6ft.

Stilts. It's not that hard to learn to use them.

I guess so. Actually I just wanted to encourage the OP in his hunt.

But be sure to learn how to use them before you include the hedge
trimmer.
