Husqvarna introduced a new line of gas-powered hedge trimmers that feature higher cutting capacity, efficient air filtration and a well-balanced overall design.

The higher cutting capacity is due to a special knife design and gear ration, while the efficient air filtration is because of a two-stage air filter, Husqvarna said.

“We are proud to offer an entirely new line of hedge trimmers that was designed with landscaping professionals in mind,” said Christian Johnsson, product manager professional products at Husqvarna North America. “They are lighter and easier to handle than previous models while offering better cutting performance. They are ideal for professionals who are looking for a high-performance hedge trimmer they can rely on.”

The new line consists of both single- and double-sided models and is considerably lighter than previous models, ranging from 11 to 11.7 lbs. Front and rear handles are arranged so that the center of gravity is close to the axis that’s crossing the center of the loop handle and rear handle grip. The new design provides excellent maneuverability and minimum resistance while handling, according to the company. Equipped with 21.7cc low-noise engines and gear components that have been developed for longevity under tough conditions, the new series contains reliable and durable hedge trimmers for professionals who are looking for less engine wear and longer service intervals, the company said.
