DWI and lawmower

[Bison]

That's definately crossed my mind more than once and it may come down to it this year. Not trying to blame the Wife but she was insistant on mowing the lawn last year. I have been the one to do it since forever and she has never been on a rider her whole life and convinced me that the Weedeater wouldn't intimadate her and she would use it. I was smitten by the price of the mower, the cheapskate that I am. And I learned again you get what you pay for. Well as it turned out the mower is problem prone, the wife is scared of the thing, rode it in first gear once and never again and all I am left with is to use it when it does work and come to this forum and rant about it when it doesn't.:frown:

Been there done that,..the first time my wife mowed the lawn she blew the engine,...it was also the last time.
Weadeaters are pieces of crap regardless of brand,half the time it causes heart attacks to get them started and i hate the noise and the stink.:thumbdown:

Solution,...i use an old fashioned scythe instead.
Very peacefull and no noise,and i am done mowing in the time it took to get that other contraption started.:thumbsup:
That useless thing is still hanging somewhere waiting for a victim :wink:

Yea I have one of those. I use it for the bank around the pond. It's like therapy, no noise, no gas, just the momentum, very relaxing.
I'm the one who thinks the inventor of the weedeater (string trimmer) should be punished, as I hate those devices, noisy, stinky, and ergonomically ridiculous.
I was using one today(gas powered string trimmer), naturally, I had to fix it first, as the fuel line to the filter in the tank had failed. a quick fix but none the less a fix.
I suppose that in certain situations it's the only option....but I still hate the dam thing.

IMO If it can't be trimmed with a scythe,..it don't need trimming :tongue:

I have ornamental grasses that need to be cut once a season or a wet spring will kill the roots. These would be really difficult to cut with a scythe. I use a trimmer with a metal blade (brush cutter). takes about an hour and i hang the thing up for months. I'm literally talking to myself the whole time... discussing the shortcomings and deciding on the re-design.
I keep thinking I need to combine the Dyson vacuum with the weedeater somehow.
