    Default Trimmer Quandry

    I have in the past had a small lawn mowing business, however I have been at University half of this year and again half of the next year in study.

    I have always had reasonable equipment, Honda Lawnmowers etc, but I am stuck on a trimmer purchase!

    I have read the other posts on trimmers but I feel that my dilemma is slightly different.

    I will do lawns in holiday periods like now until February and possibly in the semester breaks next year, this may include in all probability 7-10 lawns in a fortnight cycle.

    I like the 'Shindaiwa' and 'Tanuka' 2 stroke trimmers but in the periods of not using them I am somewhat concerned that they may degrade and become temperamental due to lack of use.

    On the other hand I like the Honda four stroke for their ability to be used somewhat less regularly, (based on the HRU196) which starts without fault. The only problem that I have with the Honda is the weight.

    I would appreciate your advice on what you would feel wold be a fair choice given my circumstances.

    I do regularly do 4 lawns per fortnight even when studying for family and friends, so the equipment does get some use, it is just that in holidays I will try to increase this to a total of about 11-15.


    Many thanks in advance

    Tony

    Thumbs up Re: Trimmer Quandry

    Tony just put conditioner in the fuel such as opti 2 or opti mizer and you will have no problems at all with the tanaka or shindy becoming tempermental or unreliable through lack of use

    And just start the snipper up regularly & let it run for a while. Most importantly; keep it out of the heat when you're storing it if you can
