i always use a billhook but have a chainsaw to hand either way is fine i just prefer the traditional method but also if time is against i see no reason why a chainsaw shouldn't be introduced?
There have been a nunber of occasions when I have won open classes at competitions using only a chainsaw for the main cuts. I only used a chainsaw in the National Hedgelaying competition in 2004 and in 2005 I won the best regrowth prize for that hedge.
Its more important to pleach correctly with any tool rather that being tool pacific. I also use the chainsaw because its faster & when on contract time is money. Iv also won comps & regrowth prizes with the saw including class 10 at the national hedgelayin championship yesterday 27 oct 2007. YEEHHHH :-)
Using a chainsaw on thick stems, why not I have and still would when required.
