What's A Good Weedeater?


I need to get a weedeater to use around the house.

I don't need a highend machine, but I do need something with pretty good power, because I've got some pretty serious weeds in spots. I have heavy grass/hay growing on a bank, and some thick stalked weeds along the edge of the creek.

Which machine offers the best bang for the buck?

Thanks.

I believe a herd of goats would do the trick!

I use Husky and Stihl but the pro models. Plenty of power. The Husky is lighter and revs higher but the Stihl seems to last longer. Titiaminum force line and also a blade for the big stuff. Ask to try them out ,it can't hurt.
