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. |

It's not that hard to learn to use them. But be sure to learn how to use them before you include the hedge trimmer. |
