Hi all,
Just wanted to ask for some collective wisdom - I have a large job, probably about 3 acres of lawn and garden area, lots of paths and so lots and LOTS of edging... more than 3km of edges at a guess. So far it's all been done with my Husky Lithium line trimmer on the backpack battery - which is all good as far as doing edges and trimming into corners and around posts in one lap. Battery life is more than enough, no breaks required except for the operator which is the weakest link here! I swap the edging with one of my guys so it's not just him doing the whole lot for the entire day...
But it's getting to the point where an actual edger attachment or dedicated machine is necessary.
I would prefer to stay with electric cordless gear if I can - pretty much the only option is the EGO 56v Power Head + Edger attachment. But I'm not sure on run time with that... and whether the handheld edger is much better than a line trimmer.
Or do I go with an Atom Edger or larger 3-4 wheeled unit?
My only thought with a larger wheeled unit is how it would go when the roadside curb edge needs to be done, it would have to be wheeled along the grass which isn't always smooth and level... is that an issue?
What style of edger would you go with for maximum comfort and job speed/productivity?
Cheers!
