Ok- I think the title may just get a few strange looks..
But I am building on the side of a mountain and there is a mile long driveway with some wicked curves and steep banks on the road sides.
So to make long story short- after 4 hours of weed eating, 3 hours of loader work cleaning it all up I came up with a couple of ideas.
1. loader mounted weed eater. Electric - DC with an AC converter-
nope-- too many issues and weak anyway
2. PTO Wead eater-
nope-- I want this in front of me and there is not enough reach.
nope-- too much $$$
3. Get the step son to do it..
nope-- he turned me down- besides I don't think I could afford him..
4. This thing- Walmart.com : Weed Eater Wheeled Gas Trimmer : Lawn & Garden Supplies

HMM cheap-
small-- has a remote cable control.
looks like this could be a real trick...
mount it on the bucket, run a real long cable to my seat-
and use the bucket controls for tilt..
the cutting head looks like it could be twisted for 90 degree offset..
If all else fails, a 1 mile down hill walk would not be too bad with the wheels on it!!
thoughts ?
other ideas?
Later,
Jim
