My attitude is very friendly and im always willing to help others, im kinda dissapointed.
Well in all fairness your response was rude enough to legitimize other sarcastic comments back (something about going around coming around).
The reason for the gaurd off is here in swfl the bottom of the propertys like to become over wet and you cannot mow over it or it will leave tire marks and tear it all up. The area is about 15x65-80 depending on the setup of the front lawn but on some propertys the back yard likes to get a pond wich is much much larger.
See here would be the problem, you asked a question were you did not give all the information to your situation. I still do not agree that a guard should be removed for any reason, but using the trimmer in the manner mentioned almost makes a little sense. I would not use it for regular trimming and would have a separate one for this purpose (again if I were to go this route although not sure I would).
I like to make my lawns look good not worst.
We all do, that's the point of coming to lawn site to learn and give advice. All to often it is hard to give advice on incomplete situations. Had you possible explained yourself further in first post or second one (although still most might not have agreed) responses would have been more helpful. Maybe some advice on a light mower good for such situation or other cutting practices.
You are obviously not the only SWFL LCO and others must have same problem what do they do, and what trimmers do they use?
South Florida Lawns seems to know his stuff, down there. Maybe he'll chime in.
Have a nice day and good luck.
