We use a large tow behind mower for the majority of the mowing but, around the house and out buildings, we've been using weed eaters of one sort or another. At our age, lugging around those machines is getting to be a real chore. Plus, the amount of area takes a lot of time, too.

So yesterday, this little gem was delivered.

We'll not totally be free of the weed eaters but, there'll be far less need.

Good plan!

yes...

good plan...

Agree, the string trimmers are for younger (than me) folks. So are the push mowers.

Good For You!

I'd love something like that! Reality is, for my yard you'd climb atop it, turn it on, engage the cutter, done!! Climb back off.

Phyl does most of the tow behind driving. The weed eaters were/are my job. It usually takes us 2 or 3 days to do it all...at least the way she wants it done. Luckily, we only need to mow maybe 3 or 4 times a year....depending on our rains. But, now, I get to ride, too.

Gene,

Where is the umbrella to your wife out of the sun when mowing?

The tow vehicle has a roof and a windshield. Might need an umbrella for the little mower, though.

I would get a spray bottle of Round-Up and do it once a year.
