Check with her first.

I bought one of those things about 5 years ago. A big honkin Weed Eater brand. I only used it once because it was too heavy and all the trimmings hit me in the shins.

 

[Saint Peter]

Too heavy for the little bitty desk pussy arms?

And, as usual, I always petition the local porn board as to what may or may not be the best pick.

I have just under an acre that I use to edge and put weeds down.

I have budgeted 175.00 for this endeavor.

Gas only so don't go suggesting some bullshit electric job. Those are for women.

are you going to get one with a straight shaft?

 

[Saint Peter]

Parts are a bitch for those. Keep the parts list.

Stihl all the way. I bought one of their pro models a couple of years ago, and it's head and shoulders above the cheap ones. Only a bit more, about $250

are you going to get one with a straight shaft?

For $175?

For $175?

The bent ones are cheaper?

I have a Stihl FS 130. I would think it to be a minimum size for your acre.

The bent ones are for amateurs.

boost your budget

Boost your budget and buy a Sthil FS model.....DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A ELECTRIC...... I believe Sthil, still maked the Combi model; trimmer, edger, lite tree and brush cutter.....that's what i have...My machine goes like a bat out of hell, and takes out nearly every thing. You'll need a leaf blower. Sthil and Husqvarna make a great home owner, back/shoulder strap mounted maching.....Sthil and Husqvarna make great product. don't worry bout changing the wacker line. the sell pre-spooled line. click click, and your off

I can make one exception for an Electric model....your property is so small, you can mow your lawn with a trimmer....but don't give it two thoughts.....Up your budget and go full power. 8am Saturday morning...neighbors with hang-overs and you fire that two-stroke engine up....

BaWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..... im kidding, 10am.

p.s. dont let the greenies scare you....full, petrol power.

Good point.

If I fire the lawn service, I might get one of these for around the house and garden. But I do need the larger unit for the annual alder and devil's club trimming. And trail work at the cabin.
