Sounds like you just need to hire the weedeating and mowing out. You
can't handle life.

best stay inside and watch tv.


Some people are really sensitive to odors, almost like a blood hound. I know
a lady who know if a smoker was at one time in the room, two years ago!

I didn't have to carry the mower around while using it but not the
case for the trimmer and blower. Both the blower and trimmer were
impossible to use without having the fumes get into your clothes and
you. The fuel oil mixture smell like crap and required wearing a
filtered mask. Screw that. I won't have another gas powered mower,
blower, trimmer or other yard tool.

Now I could start in on the environmental improvement of using the
electric but hell, I am no environmental nut.

If your gas powered lawnmower smells bad, it's because it's BROKEN. Fix
it.


Due to air quality control, there are days our city ask us not to use any
gas operated yard equipment. Some people do smell it and get really sick.

You used the number 4 in your sentence. Does knowledge have an expiration
date? In other words, if something is discovered today, and all scientists
agree it's a valid discovery, does the discovery become invalid after a
certain period of time, like the way milk goes bad?

Please define that period of time.

You said "4".

And by the way, the studies are correct. Who would need to publish the exact
same data in order for you to believe it? Name one organization, agency or
news source you would believe.

Got a trimmer you've been really happy with? I'm leaning toward
rechargable because I don't have outside electrical outlets and I don't
feel like installing any. I have probably 300 feet of trimming to do, but
it wouldn't matter if it didn't all get done in one session. Not
interested in a gas trimmer.

Talk to me.


On rechargeable, short run time, under power and the battery power pack
will last only last couple of years.



OK fine. I'm getting gas, and I'm not referring to the results of last
night's dinner.

they used to use leeches and have 'blood lettings' at the barber shop. Do
you think that "knowledge" expired?

Of course, but that knowledge was discovered to be nonsense. Let's stay
focused on the real subject at hand. What would need to happen in order for
you to believe research about the harmful effects of a product like Roundup?

You're a scientific guy. I'm sure you can answer the question.

Be sure to ask. I don't know about other brands, but, the stihl 4 stroke
uses mixed gas. So even though it's the best string trimmer money can buy,
you'd not get away from having the mix. I can't really imagine any small
string trimmer having an oil filled crankcase. It'd be hard to lube
properly in an all position engine.

Yeah...I'll look into that. I have no interest in mixing gas & oil. More
funnels, more paraphernalia. It would be nice to use just one gas can for
the mower, outboard motor & trimmer.

Yes, but you have to license Monsanto's GM Roundup proof crop seeds each
year...

Look into the 4 cycle gas jobs. I have a 2 cycle Husqvarna and it was
impossible to have the engine fixed under warrantee. They say I put in raw
gas or oil/gas mix ratio too lean or gas over 30 days old. Yes, 31 day old
gas even with fuel stabilizer will void the warranty - just too many
options for them not to do the repair.

I had a corded one years ago and it was under power, maybe different now
with the new models.

Actually, it sucks trying to fill a trimmer (or chain saw) tank from a 5
gal gas can. As for funnels and mixing, that's ancient history, these
days you either get individual oil bottles to match the 1 gal gas can
you use, or the squeeze-measure type bulk bottles like those for the
stabil. I use just a single quality 40:1 mix for all my disparate brands
of 2 cycle stuff, always use Stabil in every batch and never worry about
the age of the fuel batch (~4-6 months is typical). None of my 2 cycle
stuff has had any complaints from this over the past 10 years or so.
