Tripod ladders for hedge cutting ??

Hi all.

Where we live now we have a lot of hedging. It's the typical country mixed stuff . We like it because of the abundance of wildlife it supports with numerous birds nesting in it. The downside is cutting it. We have about 150 metres to keep in shape.

Last year I did the job off a normal pair of step ladders and a newly purchased Stihl long reach cutter. The weak thing was the step ladder.

I've been looking at these ladders in the link after seeing Monty Don using one on the telly
Link.

My question is has anyone used one of these or similar ? Doesent have to be the identical one ! I'm looking for opinions and recommendations please.

Thanks !!

 

Henchman are one of the leading brands. Niwaki it seems is the top brand a sort of industry benchmark. Similar prices as well...

I hope for info from someone who has one but thank you for the info on build quality !

 

I bought the Niwaki 10 foot EN PRO one..... for anyone with lots of hedges to cut or trees to take care of (we have both) these ladders are absolutely awesome. Safety is in a different league and having such a wide stable platform to work off halves the effort required to do the hard work ...

Best bit of gardening kit I've bought ..
