I am looking for a good walk behind line trimmer to trim around my house and around a 1/2+ acre pond with some slight angled banks. I need the offset head to get close to the water but not in it! I don't have heavy brush to cut, just mainly a lot of trimming. It takes me two trips around the pond with my line trimmer so I don't have to get too close with my Grasshopper mower. I have got it stuck in the pond edges trying to get away from trimming with my carry line trimmer. It sounds like the Swisher would do the job but I can't find many good reviews on it. Any suggestions? Is it a good machine or is there a better choice? The going price seems a bit much also. Thanks for any help
