Guest Andrea Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Just bought myself an electric weedeater. I like it because it's quiet. It doesn't weigh very much and it was CHEAP. You guys use gas or electric??? I managed to weedeat all around my house today and my arms feel like they are about to fall off. Then I fertilized the grass and turned the sprinkler on. We haven't had any real measurable rain in over a month. Grass looked horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okbowman Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Re: Weed eater....gas or electric? I like gas weedeaters, electric is ok but you have to have that stinking cord everywhere you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I only weedeat around the house and in the front yard. Can't do the whole property though, but that's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Re: Weed eater....gas or electric? I have a gas one, used to have an electric one, but it didn't have enough power, and not to mention lugging that darn extension cord around, switching plugs when you run out of room, and worry about cutting the cord. The electric one was nothing but a pain in the rump! We went out and bought a gas one, MUCH better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Re: Weed eater....gas or electric? Tominator you pot licker...LOL ya beat me to it man!! But I do have a Husqavarna gas powered. Id rather go with roundup and be done for the summer!! I never could stand being covered with prickly weed and grass stems poking me. Using roundup makes mowing sooo much faster, I dont have to get that close to all the trees and shrubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IADEERDUDE Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: Weed eater....gas or electric? a stihl gas here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fourtrax_300 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: Weed eater....gas or electric? i own both a roybi electric and a stihl gas the roybi is one that you charge up (no cord) and it is underpowered. it runs out of juice jsut doing half my yrad. ( but i do have 23 trees, a dish, a mail box, flower beds, and a big ditch to weed eat. lets just say the stihl gets used alot more ! the advantages of the electric are that it starts eveytime you hit the button so you dont have to leave it running while walkting to the next place you want to trim. it's light, and uses no gas.

AaronS Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: Weed eater....gas or electric? Gas powered Echo. There's no way I'm pulling an extension cord over a 3.5 acre yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: Weed eater....gas or electric? Gas powered! I have one that I can exchange heads on it. Besides the string trimmer I have the rototiller, blade, edger and lawn broom. I plan to buy the limb saw this spring. I really like it.

Jeramie Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: Weed eater....gas or electric? I have a WAY TO BIG Ryobi. I bought it with my testosterone.... Its a mega, twin line, interchangable blade, power handle, with the optional kickstand model. I should have opted for the light weight Husky....

horst Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: Weed eater....gas or electric? I bought a rechargable Black&Decker last year.I dont have a lot to go around but it seems to have plenty of power, I dont have to wonder ifd its gonna start, and so far its never went dead.You just hang it back on the charger when your done and it shuts off automatically when its fully charged.No complaints so far but its only a year old.
