Dear Wife was asking the other day if one of those would work around the property where the zero turn won't fit. I did NOT encourage the idea - 'cause I know who winds up pushin' it.

Very smart decision. My wife would have said the same thing

We just bought a walk behind string trimmer. It works great for the areas we can't mow, however you need eye protection with it, because it will take down a sapling and throw pieces of it at you if you are not careful.

I looked these up, and they actually still make them, and sell these new, so you could probably find parts for it. You can't beat free!:[ame]http://www.amazon.com/Great-States-404-16-16-Inch-Standard/dp/B0007XJQ8M[/ame]

There's one of those on the yard but I don't want to try using that thing!:thumbdown: It belongs to my kids and they're welcome to it. I'll just get an electric trimmer for edging and another electric mower for the tight spaces between flower beds.
