Well when I grew up cutting grass was a chore to say the least. We used one of the old push cutters (that you can stiill buy) that run on YOU power no motor just a spin triple blade that spun faster the faster you pushed it. We also used what they call a sicle,and a Machette for cutting brush down. So the way I was growing up I did a lot of it. Got pretty used to it and that helped going in the swamps after we moved to Florida.               Times change and so do the tools we use like our Ryobi Gas Trimmer/ Brush cutter. It takes care of regular trimming  that involve thicker weeds, brush and they are no problem for the Ryobi brush cutter with its heavy duty 8" hardened steel triple arc blade. A convenient shoulder strap helps to deliver a more comfortable trimming action. A bump feed trimming head with .095" line is also included. As a 2 cycle unit gas and oil mix is required. Features: Ryobi 30cc 18" Gas Trimmer/Brushcutter 30cc 1.0 HP engine ZipStart PlusTM system requires 45% less effort to start Hard chrome plated cylinder for more durability 18" cut swath and .095" bump feed dual line               Since I do all the lawn and weed clearing here it really helps to have this to work with plus now we are getting the field ready across the street. I would recommend this to anyone who has a lot of edging or alone walls or ditches and brush work to do.
