Walk Behind String Trimmer ??

I recently bought a Bearcat wheeled trimmer. Self propelled. Fantastic. I went with Bearcat because the center cone is metal and supposedly lasts longer than the plastic cone on the DR units.

I think bearcat has been replaced with the echo 190T model which also looks like a nice trimmer.MSRP is $679

I think Bearcat is Echo, and yes, mines a Bearcat 190

I have a walk behind trimmer, trims right or left or center, works good trimming the electric pasture fence and wakes me up if I touch the fence with the handle bar.

Picked up the Swisher at TSC today. Gave it a 30 minute test run, seems to work well. One of the lower handle mounting bolts fell off, but then again I didn't snug them up. I've noticed in the tall Orchard Grass, if I try to take too much of a cut, it'll stall out, but with a little finesse I think it'll fit the niche I'm looking for. The cutting head fits nicely under tractors and equipment for trimming. Appears to be a well put together unit for the $299 price tag.

Spent some more time trimming with the Swisher today. You definately need to watch out for hard objects, ie; rocks, tree trunks, fencing etc or it eats up the trimming line. Aside from that, it works very well.

Yes it does, but I guess no more than a hand held. Are you guys using standard oem style line?
