I don't mean the old hand held ones. I was thinking about my new 16HP riding fence trimming weed wacker (see attached). Worth its weight in gold for long fence lines on hot muggy days.

SM: No question about it. It's the Thermos bottle.

Mrs. SM: How do you figure?

SM: Well, you put hot things in; they stay hot. You put cold things in; they stay cold.

Mrs. SM: What's so darned great about that?

SM: Ah, but how does it know?

There are some more pictures posted in the Build It Yourself forum. It's a 6HP Ariens big wheel trimmer that I stripped down and mounted to a subframe that clips onto the JD mower deck lift arms. It pivots out of the way when you come up to a building or fence post. It cuts really well and makes trimming long fence lines and ditches painless. Since I ended throwing out almost all of the original trimmer, I'm thinking about making some from scratch.

Country Boy,
International Harvester started development of a hydrostatic trans. in 1961. It was first used on the HT-340 experimental tractor with a small gas turbine engine. The first production machine was the 656 Hydro in 1967.

JohnK,
Duct tape was a WWII invention.... around about that time anyway.
