Strimmer for grass
"Nick Maclaren" wrote in message ... I have been given a new lawn, and we are going to replace our old rotary mower with a somewhat more "rifeened" version - i.e. one with a roller, and possibly even a cylinder. Recommendations for mains electric ones would be appreciated, but that is by the way. So what I am asking is whether anyone can recommend a functional strimmer (preferably mains electric) for rough lawn grass (i.e. pasture type) and similar use. It need not handle woody plants, and it would be better if it was fairly safe around shrubs. I had an el cheapo Black and Decker plastic string one before, and swapped it for a chocolate teapot :-) Regards, Nick Maclaren. I hate mains powered machines, finally got rid of my last one recently. I've just got a Ryobi petrol strimmer from the expand it range. I got the brushcutter combo from a local garden tool center which came with both nylon wire and a metal brush cutter heads. Did a deal on the pruning saw (mini chainsaw) and hedge trimmer as well. Various other combinations are available and some sellers give away free heads. http://www.ryobi-direct.com/acatalog..._it_Range.html http://www.ryobi-direct.com/?gclid=C...FQZRMAodcUKF3Q Other heads are available. I don't recommend the Ryobi hedge trimmer head AHF03 as there is a better compatible metal gearbox version available from other sources. Can't be considered safe around plants though. |
