ditchman Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 you can get a good cheap strimmer from scrwfix ...aldi...lidl ...where ever................buy half a dozen bottles of pre-mixed oil/fuel.....a reel of strimmer cord...and leave them to it.... as said buy the pre-mixed fuel ...if not some muppet will not use oil in the fuel and the engine will get stuffed......... if fisherman can tie complicated knots ...then they should be able to thread and load a strimmer head....

mickyh Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I would think a cheapo mower would quickly wear out doing that much work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Get an older commercial mower that is designed for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
