Reach and cutting-head adjustment

Designed for the EGO PRO X telescopic pole, the PTX5100 brings the hedge-trimmer head to high branches and hedges. The pole system also supports quick changes between hedge-trimmer and pruning-saw attachments.

The head has six articulation positions and additional twist rotation. Its stated adjustment range is 45° upwards to 70° downwards, with 90° movement to either side. This range helps the operator set the blade angle for different sections of a hedge.

Blade and variable-speed control

The 51cm laser-cut, diamond-ground blade uses a dual-action, double-sided cutting system and has a 26mm blade gap. It is designed to cut branches up to 26mm in diameter.

Variable speed control lets the operator adjust the cutting action, with additional power available for thicker material. The brushless motor runs at a no-load speed of 3,000 strokes per minute.
