A: While the Trimmer/Mower will cut waist high weeds, and can be used to mow open areas, what’s unique about it is where it can cut. There is no steel blade to bend or dull so you can trim fearlessly up against rocks, foundations, fence posts or any other hard surface. With our optional tree guard, you can also trim right up to trees with no risk of “girdling” the bark. The Trimmer/Mower’s low profile also allows you to reach underneath fences, shrubs and other obstacles.

A: The Trimmer/Mower is designed to be used with our 155 mil and 175 mil cord. These are thicker-than-usual cords designed to take the punishment of trimming and mowing. It is not designed to accept the ordinary, thin string trimmer line commonly used on hand-held trimmers.

A: The Trimmer/Mower’s balance and big wheels make it far easier to push and maneuver than most lawn mowers. And weighing from 68 to 88 pounds, it is lighter than most as well. We offer a Self-Propelled model (the 8.25 Commercial) for those that want the ultimate ease of use.

A: The Trimmer/Mower is not a brush cutter (though with the optional Beaver Blade® attached you can cut out thickets and saplings up to 3" in diameter). If you are trying to clear areas with a significant amount of growth greater than pencil thickness, you will want to use a bladed mower.

A: The answer will vary greatly with job conditions. Obviously, trimming against stone will wear out cord faster than open area mowing, and your choice of cord thickness will play a role too. Having extra cord available is a good idea. Consider our cord caddy accessory as a convenient way of being sure you have precut cord on hand wherever you take your Trimmer/Mower.
