Further Testing

I'm continuing to evaluate our new trail development tool: the gas-powered hedge trimmer. After the maiden voyage at Watson Park, my evaluation resumed at Little Chauncy trail where both the hedge trimmer and pole saw were field tested extensively. Both these areas seemed best suited to the hedge trimmer, but the pole pruner was needed in a couple cases. This is good to keep in mind for future trail development.

Today, I wanted to have a more woodland-type test, so I proceeded to the Jubilee trail and also Cold Harbor trail from West St. to Church St. As expected, in the woods, the pole pruner seemed best suited for trail development: there was not very much small, vine-type growth which is where the hedge trimmer excels.

I have the hedge trimmer at my house to clean it and sharpen the trimmer and chain.
