When you say feller, do you mean as in tree feller?
One is usually sufficient.

we have a stihl, bought it second hand from a guy at work and it's really good....mr nanny has trimmed back the hedge with it actually and it worked fine....we have th brush cutter attachment but i think he found that difficult to use
as a petrol stimmer it is superb and not too heavy that i can't use it though i find it awkward

just can't get the right angle of swing
I've got the same problem - I think I am just too short for the length of the strimmer. Anyone know where I can buy a pair of stack-heeled steel toe cap wellies?

You can get electric strimmers with collapsable handles which can be adjusted for different heights people now..
They don't last more than 30mins on a full tank. I've asked my mum to get a small hand held scythe from pakistan for me (they're called daati's). By the time you've faffed around mixing the petrol, starting the buggery thing, stopping to get the grass out of the head and whatever I think a hand operated method has got to be better.

Just rung her, it turned up saturday so I'll pick it up off her tomorrow. Should be just the ticket for cutting down vegetation round trees, fence posts etc.

Have you bought a mixing bottle yet?
A litre bottle will last me about six hours, but I can't do more than a couple of hours strimming on one go as I get back ache 'cos I'm too short.
I can start the buggery thing though
Nope, I had a spare petrol can so I mixed up 5 litres.

'Cos I've got two chickens who are hiding their eggs and I was determined to find them.

Bah, that'll have used 8,000 gallons of kerosene so far.
