Ah, so far so good. Stihl FSA57 trimmer (battery powered) works very well.. VERY quiet. Cuts the mustard (which my corded trimmer does not). Extremely lightweight, compared to every gasoline one I've used before. It was a project to order it, though. I'll probably be ordering a second because a spare battery plus charger is almost the same cost, and that will include another head, too. 🤔
Did half of the weeds on my hillside to try it out, in almost no time. That usually is a long project for me due to hassling with line, power cord and/or gasoline. Really good build quality. This model is light duty/homeowner (but we are just using it for bee yard clearing). #yardcare
@ai6yr LOL at "cuts through mustard" which I read as "cuts the mustard"...took me a while to process that it was very likely you were talking literal weed mustard.
*note: only cut the really big, tough mustard. Not so great to eat when it's big, it's pretty tough. I wonder if there are some good greens recipes for older mustard....
@ai6yr Over the years , I've gotten better about taking the stuff that's too big and putting it straight in the compost. Figure that way I'm still eating it, just next year ...
@colo_lee Those stems/roots are very difficult to deal with when they get hard. I usually pull them before that point in the yard, but being able to slice it down at some random orchard will be useful (versus pulling out the McLeod, which will deal with that problem quite well, but requires more physical effort)
