My brother does yard work for a living and he swears by the Echo weed whackers.

I was at Home Depot not too long ago and saw that they now have propane powered weed whackers. I didn't notice what brand they were. No more messing with gasoline. Just screw on a canister of propane and away you go.

Just clear the rocks and mow it........problem solved.


I paid good money for those rocks.  There are 2 rock gardens and decorative rock thru out.

I run the garden department at my local home depot and I''ll say hands down go with either an echo or stihl anything else won't last you worth a damn the quality of the motors of these two brands is what sets it apart from other competitors.

Perfect, does Echo or Stihl has a propane or gas power weedeater?  I have been thinking of getting one so we don't have to use the extension cord.




pahunkboy -> RE: Recomend a weed wacker? (4/19/2010 3:22:34 PM)

I prefer to stay with electric.

I also recommend an Echo; son of a bitch always fires up for me, and I got one that doesn't use the spool, you thread two pieces of line in and off to the races you go.

Shahar, it's gas powered, fyi.

Oh and if you do get an echo make sure you use their 2 cycle oil otherwise you void there warranty

I was out today.  I did a hack job on the yard.  Then I smelled smoke- and looked poof the thing caught fire.

So- I guess this unit is now trash.




DarkSteven -> RE: Recomend a weed wacker? (5/6/2010 11:54:46 AM)

My choice.  [8D]




ShaharThorne -> RE: Recomend a weed wacker? (5/6/2010 12:22:31 PM)

Why can't the US have commersials like that?




Jeffff -> RE: Recomend a weed wacker? (5/6/2010 3:11:33 PM)

I recommend you get a Mexican guy to do it for you. Lord knows they are everywhere!

Yo.  My weed wacker is finished.   What do you like?

The way my yard is- I have a manual push mower- but lots of trees and rocks. So- the wacker is what I use.

I got 3 years use out of a $30 gadget from Sears. I see that the octoganal string is better- worth the cost.

Anyhow- I am good for this week- but might replace the sucker.

Any ideas?



Yes.

I'm particularly fond of the type that's connected to a guy who runs around whacking weeds in my yard.

I seriously thought he was asking about a trimmer to do his personal manscaping.

My yard is looking so nice.   The blue spruces I planted are in their glory- it looks nice.  YAY.

We pay about $30 a week for lawn service and they do a beautiful job... trimming hedges, edging the lawn, taking care of trimmings and leaves.  We don't have to fuss with equipment ever.

And I've no idea what their nationality is.  [8D]
