Hello.

I have gotten some good advise reading here and thought I may be able to contribute as well. I just picket up a very well maintained Cub Cadet 1641 with 46 deck, snow blower, triple bagger and snow blade.

We recently moved onto an acre that is a bit out of control from lack of maintenance and are working on getting it under control. I love the tractor so far.

I grew up using echo stuff and a commercial zero turn x-mark to mow my parents 3 acres of grass, getting used to actually planing my cuts for the turning radius now. I was spoiled. I have spent nearly 10 years doing field work in the oil industry and we have been in Colorado for about 4 years.

Now I need to pick up a string trimmer for those pesky fence lines and corners. any advise? have you had great luck with any of the battery powered stuff?

I picked up a stihl ms251 for clearing a lot of brush. tempted to stay with one brand but I have no loyalties here.

Welcome herm!
I've got a big old stihl (20+ years) that I still use for brush cutting with a blade and also have had great luck with Echo string trimmers getting well over 10 years out of them, they were still operational but busted plastic, broken choke lever, etc. Just got a new one last year for >$150? at HD.

Thanks.

I spend a couple years down under myself, working in the northeast corner of SA, and off the coast of Darwin.
