Read The Green Reaper Reviews

The Mitox 28LH Select is a quality long reach hedge trimmer powered by a 25.4cc, full-crank two-stroke engine. With its long reach, and adjustable articulating double sided, double reciprocating 580mm blade, tall hedges can be trimmed safely without the use of a ladder.
The engine benefits from an effective anti-vibration system, and with a weight of just 6.9kg, the Mitox 28LH Select can be used for long periods of hedge cutting with minimal operator fatigue.
Another benefit of the 28LH hedge cutter is its ability to articulate the head through 180ยบ, via an advanced adjustment design, making storage and transport simple, as well as giving greater flexibility during use.
The padded foam front handle provides a comfortable grip and reduces vibration. The split shaft design also enables easy storage and transport. A single strap shoulder harness is included.

A very well made and sturdy piece of kit. A bit on the heavy side but not too bad. The point of attachment for the harness needs moved forward to improve the overall balance but that is very easy to do. Once the tank was filled with fuel and the bulb primed it started on the third pull and ran very sweetly. Cuts with ease though it'll take a bit of practice to get a smooth flat hedge on the face ( you can see where the end of the blade has swept). Did the top of the hedge very easily and safely. Very pleased with this purchase.

I'd heard of Mitox tools via a chap who works in a local garden machinery repairers who gave them a good recommendation. Having bought this machine and now having used it a few times, I'm very impressed. The build quality is excellent and it starts with very little ado. Also, the accompanying manual is well above average for ease of use and there is a comprehensive spares service available; very important! Would definitely recommend and will look in future at this brand when replacing existing garden machinery!

Overall a good tool which seems well built. Its heavier than I was expecting and not as well balanced as I would have hoped which makes it tiring to use for long periods. The design of the cutting blade seems less efficient than my electric hand held hedge cutter with the size and spacing of the teeth making it harder to rip through dense hedge. A more open tooth spacing and narrower teeth would be better. The adjustment of the cutting angle is very easy with a one handed operation. The engine seems to start easily and runs well, certainly powerful enough. I have not tried any other long reach hedge trimmer so cannot compare directly. It is very reasonably priced for the type of machine but it would be interesting to try a more expensive model to see if its any easier to use.
