Hitachi CH62EA3 Petrol Hedgetrimmer | Hedge Trimmer Reviews
The Hitachi CH62EA3 Petrol Hedgetrimmer is a powerful machine designed primarily for the home user with a good sized garden to keep under control although the manufacturer’s state that it would also be suitable for light commercial use.
As you would expect from Hitachi, there are some great features which make this machine a pleasure to own. As you may know, Tanaka became part of the Hitachi group quite recently and this machine was previously branded Tanaka.
As a female user of garden machinery, I was particularly pleased with the S start technology (or soft and smooth engine recoil starter) feature of this model which makes it much easier for those of us who are not so strong in the arms and shoulders to start without any trouble. The manufacturers say that it requires up to 50% less effort to start – I only know I can start it without a problem! The other thing I like is that the fuel tank is a sensible size at 350 cc which gives a good running time on a single tank of fuel on the 21.1 cc engine which delivers a maximum of 0.74 kW of power.
