Hedge trimmer model with 6.5m true reach to be launched at LAMMA 2025
- Shelbourne Reynolds is introducing at LAMMA 2025 a new model to its 7000 series hedge trimmer range – the 7065T telescopic with a true 6.5m reach mounted on a GP 1200 flail head
The compact designed 7065T suitable for narrow lane work, offers both farmers and contractors the first-time opportunity to invest in a heavy-duty trimmer with a true 6.5m reach from mid tractor to the furthest flail when fully extended, explains Shelbourne Reynolds’ Neil Smith.
“Trimmer reach can be misleading and frequently begs the question – does your trimmer really measure up? All of our 6000, 7000 and 8000 series trimmers feature fixed mounted heads and so the advertised reach is actually the true reach available to the operator.
“Machines with clamp mount heads typically advertise reach with the head fully offset which is not a practical operating position and so you immediately lose 0.5m reach when the head is set centrally. The 7065T has a true 6.5m reach when fully extended, and 5.4m reach retracted.”
He adds: “The 7065T’s development together with the existing 7000 series, has been influenced by feedback and input from farmers and contactors who we’ve been working with over the last 20 years.
The 7065T continues the same 7000 series specification with a standard 70hp hydraulic system (optional 85hp) developed to run with high pressure, and low flow to reduce the pressure drops throughout the system which in turn generates less heat and maintains maximum power to the cutting head.
