The second part of my childhood was spent in a council house with a front and rear garden of no more than thirty feet long.
It is oh so typical of gardens on little estates that is a legacy of the thirties through to the seventies. The front hedge was very typically privett which is soft to cut, easy to shape and non irritating to the skin.
Because of the length (or lack of it), running an electric extension cage out the front door was painless and quick to set up.
Collecting and transporting of leaves, grass mowing's and hedge trimmings is all part of the gardeners work. It is all very well being able to cut the lawn efficiently but wasting time carting the waste to the compost heap can ruin your whole scheduling.

Moving waste around the garden involved a wheel barrow (even a heavy oak wheel barrow when I started as an apprentice greenkeeper) or a large square of hessian sack cloth.
With the longer cutting blade, the Echo range of hedge cutters are preferred by professionals because of the wider cutting arc and offers a great weight to cut ratio.
This is a rugged long life machine with minimum vibration providing efficiency and durability.
The 21.2cc 2-stroke engine, weighs in at 5.6 kg with a seventy five centimetre (thirty inch) blade for precise control of cut.
