Brush Cutter and Weed Whip vs. String Trimmer

#Weedwhip #goinggreen #environmentallyfriendly
Today we are exploring how to truly go green with landscaping tools. A common tool used is the string trimmer. Is there a better alternative than a battery or gas powered string trimmer? One of the tools we are exploring, the blue one, is the brush cutter. The brush cutter is meant to tackle thick weeds. We also demonstrate a weed whip, sometimes called sling blade, which is better for fine to medium weeds. Maybe a blast from the past but possibly a green direction for the future.

I'm getting a shoulder replacement in a couple weeks. I'm thinking that Stihl 56 trimmer you sold me years ago is still my preferred tool

Weed-whackers (and, in the fall, leaf-blowers) are a constant background hell noise here in southeast PA. I wielded a grass whip all the time as a teenage grunt landscaper; they're so easy to use. It's not like the engine-powered versions save that much labor. Also, thanks for mentioning how the plastic trimmer line, as it breaks up, goes willy-nilly into the landscape. Are there any trimmer lines that are biodegradable? I'm curious about that, but also feel like I'd be mocked by so many landscapers for even showing concern.

Thanks for the great reply! We have scythes, sickles, and weed whips for sale in our shop and most of what I hear is that it's to much work. Thanks for chiming in that the engine ones don't save that much labor. you still have to carry them around and swing them back and forth. As far as the biodegradable trimmer lines, I think Oregon makes one. Oddly enough, it is not available in California.

Very cool if you're only doing a small job, or if you can do 30-60min every other day and still keep up with the new growth. I suppose for larger jobs, it would be great to have one of those tractor PTO attachments with the long hedge trimmer blade (like what the DOT uses to maintain urban trails).

Just bought a grass whip because I was dealing with grass is too long for my little electric weed eater. Got tired of the weed eater jamming repeatedly, eager to try it out and see how it goes.

I saw another video of a guy using one and he seemed to get into a rhythm while using it. If anything it will be a good cardio workout out in the fresh air!

I appreciate your enthusiasm. If you can keep that up for an hour at age 67, good for you! Im 61 and my back is still recovering from using a shovel. Ill be buying a more powerful trimmer. Gas powered if thats what it takes.

I like the exercise, too lazy to work out at a gym. I saw a guy on his 70th birthday cut 3 cords of wood with a crosscut saw. That has motivated me to try to do as much physical labor as I can, for as long as I can. Getting outdoors even using a gas trimmer is good exercise. Fortunately we grew up in a generation that spent lots of time outdoors doing physical activities!

Ure a iron wire to wip grass mush fast and no need to waste money. Iron wire three to four feet the length that you are comfortable with.

Interesting. Is there a video of this?

@@fischertoolandgarden no but have seen people wipping grass even thick grass with iron wire fast. Try in field.

Neat. But I'll take my gas weed trimmer any day. If used properly and its a good one, a proper gas trimmer would get that whole section done in 5-10 minutes.

@fischertoolandgarden 3 күн бұрын

I agree. If gas is not available, this may be another option. Or solar charging with battery powered equipment.

Can you tell me please what are the brand names of the two weed whips. Do you ship merchandise? I live in the St Louis area and can't find any good quality ones here.

@fischertoolandgarden 5 ай бұрын

Seymour Midwest makes them. We do not ship, but you can go to seymourmidwest.com/ and order direct or they might be able to refer you to someone local.

Have you considered a scythe? I will say in addition to helping one's golf swing, it looks very therapeutic for working out anger.

@fischertoolandgarden 2 ай бұрын

Yes, I have another video on an American scythe and scycle. The blades are made in Austria.

Wish we could! #realitycheck Just had to warranty a battery after 32 charges not working anymore. The customer bought it in November of 2022. Not looking forward to all these batteries!

This is so sad

@fischertoolandgarden Жыл бұрын

It is sad the control our leaders in this country have on us, but in another way maybe it's good to have to slow down a little. When I was a kid, we didn't use any power equipment, and I think we grew up a lot healthier as a result.
