    I did; didn’t really like it. It was easy than carrying 1/2 mile Through trails BUT why I grabbed a wacker was so I could go around objects, and that is the downfall because of how hard it would be to make a circle with a set of wheels. I traded it to a buddy for a push brush hog

    I borrowed a buddy’s once. Used it for about 10 min put it in the truck and grabbed my trusty string trimmer. Much more easier for me.

    Talk about driving railroad spikes with a tack hammer.

    For real!! 2 of the rounds, when splitting in half, I decided to put my split line through a knot. Those took 40+ swings to get in half. To get those halves quartered, 1 took 2 swings, another took 20+. Dang knots. :rofl: :lol:

    It's a good workout/grip strength improver. Plus I'm a glutton for punishment, so it was fun. Got through 3, 3 more to go. Glad it's oak.

    Yep. I call it the push whacker.

    It's a DR model. 20220821_151945.jpg

    It can be used to mow weeds down it's got really thick trimmer line. It's not self prompt, but it rolls really easily. I use it to clear the trails up at my hunting land. It will take down woody weeds even.

    I’m wondering how it would be going along a fence line of our horse pasture. Long, straight runs.

    Probably would work and be less work for you plus faster. However, I've not used one so just guessing.

    Thank you to all of you for the Congratulations, 31 years since "I do", time flies. He came home with roses and ground beef (we've been out for awhile and I was craving it awhile lol), made his own recipe of meatloaf and we had mashed potatoes and green beans left over from the other night. Delicious! I'll add a pic from my phone soon :)
