  • This is a must have tool for high grass areas. I have used walk behind string trimmer mowers before, but by far this is the best to day. Extremely powerful and easy to use, this Powermate field trimmer is a beast!
    It's An Amazing Crazy Powerful Tool For High Grass That You Need To Own! The Powermate
    22 in. 173cc Gas Walk-Behind Field String Trimmer Mower with Adjustable Trimmer Head
    Overgrown grass and hard to reach spots are no match for the Powermate 173cc adjustable head field trimmer. It is equipped with an On the Fly, 3-position (left, right, center), adjustable trimmer head that provides the ability to trim 5.5 in. outside of the wheel base on either side allowing you to trim along a fence line or other obstacle while walking the trimmer in a straight line. To have even more control over the look of your field, the 3 position (2 in., 3 in. and 4 in.) Tool-Free height adjustment allows you to choose the trimming height that is right for your job. With a powerful 173cc OHV 6.27 ft./lbs. torque engine along with the quad 0.155 in. diameter trimmer line, this trimmer provides the power and performance necessary to cut through the toughest weeds and grass to clear a field. When the job is done, save valuable shop space by simply folding the handle down and tucking it away until the field needs to be trimmed the next time.

    Looks good, thanks for the review. Its a lot easier to edge with this type of unit and cut embankments and small fields a couple of times a year, I have a new DR Trimmer Mower that I bought this spring that works great on lawn trimming, heavy field growth. It also can take a chainsaw toothed blade that will cut saplings to 3 inches and all brush smaller. I think Powermate and DR are cousins, both under Generac. Both provide US jobs in Wisconsin and Vermont. I pass the current DR headquarters daily and knew Dick Raymond the founder.

    When we moved here there was one of these that didn’t work in the garage. It’s been sitting for 4 years but it’s solid metal zero plastic so it’s probably pretty old. $55 to fix it yesterday and can’t wait to try it. I have 3 acres of brush.

    I just bought one of this exact model a few hours ago,
    Assembly was quick and easy
    I will not get a chance to use it until 6/03/20 when I return to our new property 6.27 Acres in meadows of Dan Virginia and I am praying this machine gets the job done
    6/07/20 while it preformed great with thin vines and pilled in pricker bushes & mulched them, didn't do so good on the amount of plastic string used on a small area
    Moving on to a Bob Cat 🐱 with a Brush Hog attachment, since it's coming to this I may as well start another small business doing brush clearing.

I have a regular mower but it's not working right now😫😫but I can walk behind it. I think this would be strong enough that I could keep my balance with it aa well.

      the string is not on a spool like with a weed eater. It has 3 hooks and you loop the string around the hook. I has 3 hooks so you end up with 6 strings ripping the grass. The 6.5 hp motor makes this unit top-heavy and turns over on even slight inclines.

      These are great it's how all whipper snippers should be.
      it's very simple to change the trimming line anyone can do it.
      Yes they are top heavy but just means you have hold on to it and pay attention to what your doing and it won't tip over if you tip it over maybe you shouldn't be operating 1.
      It doesn't matter what machine you have there is always room for improvements but simple is the best and that's what they are.
      And by having a 4 stroke motor they are easy to start unlike most 2 stroke whipper snippers .
      I'm pretty sure we have all had a time when we have pulled to many times to start and pulled a muscle.

      I've read that the self propelled DR model has to be dragged backwards. The wheels won't roll backwards because of the drive system. The user said this was a real pain around fence posts etc where you push the machine in a foot or so then pull it back and roll it in again on a new path and so on. I do a lot off that type of cutting with my Tazz walk behind. It's pretty light and rolls easily forward and backward.

    I have a vacation Home in West Virginia and I have several wet areas that I have to mow. I am unable to use the riding mower because it will just sink and get stuck. So, I have to use a push mower or handheld weedeater instead in those areas. The problem with the push mower is the weeds and grass are always wet and I spend more time unclogging the grass build up under the deck than I do actually mowing. I wanted to see if you thought this machine would handle wet area mowing well.

      so far so good with ST100... did the job just fine for the machine... good line life & surprisingly good on gas considering the size of the tank...a bit more power would be nice but let the machine do the work & worth the$$$ so far....🙃

      Tool Review Zone. I also have a Cub Cadet ST100 that I purchased two years ago to mow some of the problem areas on my property. My ST100 is ideal for mowing the thick growth along the creek bank, along walls and fence rows. You want to avoid cable tv coaxial cable and anything that the strings will pick up and wrap around the spindle and; Do Not Mow next to vinyl siding with the ST100!!!.
      This machine will cut very small saplings but anything more will shear off the strings. The OEM Cub Cadet/MTD orange strings cut very well - But I purchased a spool of the yellow .155 Shakespeare string from Tractor Supply Company that I cut to 18, 7/8” lengths like the 10 OEM orange strings provided with the mower. The engine always starts on the first or second pull and has always performed well for me when needed. The oil is pretty easy to change, But the air filter housing can be a royal pain to re-secure after replacing the old air filter. The Powermate seems to have many of the features of the higher end DR Wheeled String Trimmers. Thanks for your very informative video.

    The DR is better because the engine do not stop when you release the handle just the string stops and it starts with just one pull. And it is also self-propelled if you get a different model plus you can get the chainsaw accessory that goes on in place of the string trimmer.

    Mine works well for grass and weeds like this. Doesn't work well for steep ditches. You push it over the edge, but then you have to drag it back up. It's top heavy, so it falls over if you go along the slope and the slope is too steep.

    I watched your video and I seen some problems you had going over the rough areas. I have the Cub Cadet ST 100. It has a bigger ball under the front that acts like a third wheel. The bigger ball makes going over rough ground a breeze. I have looked at other string trimmers and I wouldn't trade my Cub Cadet for any of them. Plus some of the string trimmer prices are out of line IMO.

    • @scottmoss3410
      @scottmoss3410 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bill, I have a vacation Home in West Virginia and I have several wet areas that I have to mow. I am unable to use the riding mower because it will just sink and get stuck. So, I have to use a push mower or handheld weedeater instead in those areas. The problem with the push mower is the weeds and grass are always wet and I spend more time unclogging the grass build up under the deck than I do actually mowing. I wanted to see if you thought the Cub Cadet would handle wet area mowing well.

    • @billhendrickson5506
      @billhendrickson5506 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@scottmoss3410 Scott, Not knowing your exact conditions, I would talk to a dealer and find one that would let you try before you decide on a purchase. I don't know about all machines, but on the Cub Cadet ST 100 you can adjust the height of the strings cut. Plus the big wheels make the unit a breeze to push and pull around. I am 80 years old and move my machine around cutting areas like a much younger person. I also load and unload my machine by physically lifting it. The first time I saw someone leave the store with one of the Cub Cadet ST 100's I asked myself why in the hell would I buy that. I now know the answer. My first experience with using my unit was I was done before I had expected and I really wanted to use it longer. One more thought. I went and bought my string on a roll and cut from that my string lengths. Much cheaper. I also find the Cub Cadet to be very inexpensive to use on fuel. Good luck, Scott.
