Finally found something that my Kubota tractor can't do - mow in small rocky area around outbuildings. Also noticed that Bird said he had one.
How well do these High Wheel trimmers work. They look like a big two wheel lawnmower but have a 5 HP or 6 HP string trimmer (looks like extra large trimmer line) to do the mowing.
I thought there was only one brand but noticed that Troy builds a regular start and electric start model, Craftsman builds them, Home Depot and Sam's Club (WallMart) sell a national brand.
Any experience with how well or how reliable they are and the cost of expendibles (nylon line) and does the line come in rolls or just straight pieces cut to length.
Looks like the answer to how to mow in brush laden areas where the tractor can't get and where the rocks would tear up a conventional lawnmower and more heavy duty than a string trimmer.
