THT-210S Testimonial:

"I just picked up a 210S last week, and used it on a small job last weekend. It took a lot for me to switch brands from what I have always used in the past, but after doing some research and listening to other lawnsite.com members, I took the plunge.

I am extremely happy with it. The rotating handle, the anti-vibration feature, and the incredibly easy starting have made me a believer."

A Leap of Faith

After reading as much as I could on this site and researching other web sites I purchased a Tanaka THT 210S hedge Trimmer. The technical data and the written comparisons to other products helped me make the decision. I could not find one to look at prior to buying one which frankly made me a little nervous. I made the purchase sight unseen from my favorite dealer in Pennsylvania (He ordered it for me). I telephoned dealers in a three State area that I consider close to me and no one had one in stock. But what was funny is that every one of the dealers that I talked to said they personally owned one!

Previously I was renting a Stilh HS 80 for the larger jobs that I have been picking up and I kept a small Craftsman trimmer in my trailer for those unpredictable jobs that always seem to pop up.

I just wanted to let you folks know that over the last three weeks this has become my favorite tool. The information posted here and on your website about the light weight and power of this product are not exaggerations in any way shape or form. I can use the THT210S hours longer than I can the Stihl without my arms giving out from the weight and vibration.

The adjustable handle takes about 30 seconds to adapt to. It is fast and accurate. Speaking of fast - I have one customer who has a row of hedges that I trim about once a month. Previously it took me 60 minutes with the Craftsman trimmer to complete this task. The THT210S cut the time down to 20 minutes.

The S start system on this trimmer delvers as promised. A very easy pull - way better than ANY other power equipment I have used (chain saws, string trimmers, etc.)

If I had to be critical about the THT210S I suppose it would have to be the manual. It's confusing to search for information when it's written in six languages. I'd like to see more detailed maintenance information. For example is there a torque setting that could be used on the cutter bolts? What specific procedures does Tanaka recommend for cleaning the cutting blades? I hope that those don't sound like really stupid questions, I'm sure that your more experienced lawn care professionals are shaking their heads at me. However I just switched from renting a hedge trimmer and owning a little Craftsman trimmer! AND I like to take care of my equipment!

As I said my dealer ordered the THT210S for me. He said it would take two days to get. It didn't. He had it the next day. The price for the THT210S was less than the Stihl and Echo products that were comparable. Another big plus.

I apologize for the long post. But I just can't say enough good things about this product. I'm looking at your stick edgers now!

THT-210S Field Test
Hello my name is Mike Dirks. I’m the owner of Dirks Lawn Care. We are a small lawn and landscape maintenance company in Sterling, Illinois. We have been in business since 1998 and serve a variety of customers from commercial to residential.

We tested the Tanaka THT-210S hedge trimmer for approximately four hours on a variety of shrubbery including barberry, Japanese yew, and dogwood. We also demoed the THT-210S on approximately 200 feet (five hours) of hedge rows, all with very favorable results.

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best), here’s how I would rate the THT-210S:

Balance 9
Power 10
Fuel efficiency 9
Easy of starting 10
Ease of use 10
Noise Level 10
Accuracy of cut 10
Safety features 10
Overall reliability 10
Manual/instructions 4
Quick lock handle system 10

Our company mainly has used John Deere, Echo, and Husqvarna two-stroke equipment. In comparison to those brands, the thing I like most about the Tanaka THT-210s is how lightweight it is.

It’s about 1 to 1.5 lbs. lighter than the Husqvarna and Echo hedge trimmers, even though their comparable bar lengths only range between 20 and 24 inches (Note: THT-210S blades are 26"). The noise level seemed a bit lower than most of the other brands that I have used and we all know that this is a big deal these days.

Overall, I would rate the THT-210S as one of the best hedge trimmers that I have used/demoed. The best feature is the quick lock handle system.
No matter which direction or position I was trimming, it still felt comfortable. I never felt that I was lacking any power while using this hedger. The THT-210S would cut through everything I could throw at it.

My biggest complaint is the manual. I would like to see a manual written for each specific hedge trimmer model number, but that is my only complaint.

FEATURED TESTIMONIAL
"We've owned or rented Stihl, Bosch, Redmax, and Echo hedge trimmers for the past 16 years, trim 2.5 acres of hedges six times each year and Tanaka hedge trimmers ARE The Best Hedge Trimmer on planet earth, bar none.

From ease of start/restart during operation, ergonomics (because they're lighter than most hedge trimmers out there), fuel consumption, torque, operating in the rain, upside down, you couldn't dream of a better hedge trimmer.

Tanaka is the ONLY hedge trimmer we've owned since 1999. We've NEVER sharpened the blades since we've purchased ours seven years back.

The rpms keep sculpting shrubs and hedges as lightly/gingerly or as severely/sheared as we need to (through 1.5" or less like butter, and with a light pressure when encountering 2" thick "volunteers").

Whether you're trimming bamboo, plumegrasses, holly, junipers, burning bush, yews, roses, globe locust, spirea or boxwood - you will trim faster than anything on the market, that's a given.

If it's green, get you a Tanaka and cut it!"
