The gas delimber is a special device whose main function is to shape tall bushes and young trees without using any lifting tools and tools (stepladders, stairs, and so on). And if your work is directly related to pruning shrubs or if you just have a large suburban area, then this tool will become your real assistant and will turn a long processing of trees into a real pleasure. As you understand, today it will be a question of delimbers.
What is this device?
This device is a long metal stick to which a gasoline engine, hand holders and, of course, a chain for cutting small branches are attached. Often, a gas delimber is capable of processing trees from 2 to 4 meters high. Moreover, this "stick" can be easily adjusted to any height that the owner needs. Its principle of operation is quite simple - we direct the gasoline apparatus to the bush and press the small button that powers this tool, we begin work.
How to choose it right?
At the moment, you can find a gas delimber in any store of garden equipment. A large assortment allows the buyer to choose and buy a delimber of the type that would satisfy all its requirements. But in order to acquire a truly functional tool, you need to know certain selection criteria, which we will talk about now.
The engine and its power
All existing delimbers can be divided into three groups - mechanical, electrical and gasoline. With the first type, it becomes clear that you can not remember fast performance here, since you will have to process each branch yourself, squeezing both handles of the tool. The electric delimber is more productive, but its power is still not enough for fast and efficient processing of crowns. A gasoline cutter is the best tool among all the others, so it is the internal combustion engine that allows you to process the garden in a matter of minutes. In addition, the cost of fuel will be the same as the cost of electricity. As for power, engines with a capacity of one to two horsepower are ideal. This power is quite enough for high-quality processing of shrubs.
Weight
If you have a small area, it is best to choose the lightest options (weighing from 3 to 4 kilograms), since with heavier tools (from 5 kilograms) you have to break the work for several days. In addition, such devices create a large load on the spine and cause severe fatigue.
Rod selection
And the last characteristic is the choice of the rod (the same metal "stick"). Everything is simple here - for the right choice you need to multiply your growth (or the growth of the one who will work in the garden) by 1.5. This will be enough for convenient processing of shrubs. But if your garden is very tall, multiplying growth here, as they say, will not help. In this case, focus on the choice of professional tools from 400 to 450 cm high.
