Do all you all hate trimmers so much because it means you have to get you fat azz off the Z & actually do some work?
Just curious.

I saw the title and started to read and got to thinking the same thing about Trimming and can't forget blowing you guys posted.

BTW casey I'm 5'10" and weigh 162. My butt aint fat, LOL, mostly muscle.

The one thing I hate is Trimming.

Hoss we think alike.

landscaper3: Alarm clock. Me too.

I thought that I only hated to trim.

I love the sound of the back pack, cause I know I am almost done. :)

using my little craftsman light wt trimmer takes the work out o trimming for me. aint worth nothin, dont weigh nothin, but gets the house trim done alright. thieves dont target them as much either.
if they do just pay 45 for another customer return at sears.
seriously any equip that is hard to crank is on its way out
of my operation. just mine, later now.

I agree with most of you guys that trimmers definitely suck. mowing is so much more fun!

i like trimming cause it takes skill and precise hand-coordination
and most helpers dont have it .

Anybody can mow cause the mowers prevent scalping
but trimming u have to be the anti-scalp roller

U do get sick of it after a big job with lots of trees though!

walk-behind trac-vacs are worthless junk
