Thank you, I appreciate it. One thing I like to mention about this machine is since it just uses trimmer line. It's not really meant for Woody material unless you install a brush blade and then it can take down small trees
Thank you, I appreciate it. I've had this for 8 years, I really wanted one of these because of its capabilities and it sounds like you have it for the same reason.
Thank you for your comment, for just around the house. A regular string trimmer is better, but for knocking down tough stuff. The walk behind string trimmer is pretty nice
Cut my first yard pro in 1983. Imagine our reaction to the first stick edger. But mowers are getting too heavy. A 36 or 48 with a sulky are good enough for my needs.@@sololawnprofessional
I do use mine in the yard, but I do miles on Mountain Bike Trails, for years, I have the new head, much easier, I've done 5 miles in a day, both sides so 10 miles it just works, with multi passes, a bushhog gets the big stuff, but the DR is great for ease of use, so light it goes places you won't believe, and if it tips over its easy to right, easy to load and unload, makes it fun, and very hard working. In the open areas I sometimes make 4 to 6 passes just to keep the tall stuff from leaning on the trail.. a workhorse like no other. I carry a Silky Zubat 330 saw for the bigger stuff, I also use that as a machete too, thats a great team, if the left one don't get ya, the right on will.. ;)
I just saw a Weibang version on sale here in Ireland, that looks good. I usually use a large Husqvarna brush cutter with a harness, but it's brutal on the body.
From my experience, the handheld string trimmer brush cutter is a little quicker, but the walk behind is definitely less strenuous on the body, especially with the self-propelled model
What about commercially/almost daily lawncare / landscaping? Anyone got any recommendations on these string trimmer mowers? Sidenote: I hope someone buys and reviews/compares a couple “walk behind string trimmer mowers” brands of these in a video one of these days to see which one is the best. I think they’re pretty cool and wonder if I should opt for getting one to start out landscaping over a push mower and regular string trimmer and get those later?:)
I do lawn maintenance full-time. You should stick with a regular push mower and string trimmer if you want to charge people money. A walk behind string trimmer can obviously cut grass and trim but it's not an all-in-one machine to replace a lawn mower. For the cost of this trimmer, you could buy a really nice push mower and a really nice commercial string trimmer and a hand blower to go with it.
This is a great tool if you have a lot of tough stuff to knock down but your new shindaiwa or the Echo 2620 are a close second for knocking down tough stuff.
Thanks for this video! I have some overgrown bush on my land and that’s exactly what I needed. The demo is great!👏👏👏

I have the Sears brand and love it! We use it in the yards and the farm. Well worth the money. thanks for the video.

Never had the opportunity to run one of these brush machines. Looks like fun.

I kinda like the string setup. Is it 115?
The string is .175 for heavy cutting, for normal grass cutting, you can run a regular trimmer line .105
Never used one looks interesting
