stick edger

[The landscaper]

When you guys are running your edgers...do you walk forwards or backwards?

forwards...... probably like most people out there

[Spirit Lanwcare]

Do you walk forwards or backwards when you cut grass?

Do the same with your edger.

[MMLawn]

This is a trick question right? the blade is spinning forward so if you walk backwards with it it would stall out I would think and probably bind the engine also. ;)

[Green Pastures]

Both, depends on the thickness of the grass and how much dirt is in the groove.

Forward when trimming, backwards when I flip the string trimmer over for edging. Don't know why, it's just always felt more natural.

[ashs inc]

We walk backwards when we trim beds. And we will walk backward when we trim concrete because it leaves a better edge.

First cut of the year both leave the best cut with my echo. I dont walk backwards, but do a forward backward motion as I walk forward. After its cut in a quick walk forward leaves it looking great

[Green Care]

Forward here always.

Thanks, I tried mine out for the first time the other day and it seemed to work better to go backwards or the forward backwards. I do agree after the first or second time walking forward would be the way to go.
