Message: [QUOTE="bob_hill, post: 140729, member: 3506"] Not quite brushcutting. My Echo SRM-250E Brushcutter/Trimmer came with blades. I've tried them several times over the years when I've let the grasses go too long. Sort of a toss up. I have a Craftsman walk behind string mower. Problem is that the wheels are not powered, and I'm on a hill pock-marked by many gopher holes. (I have a John Deere riding mower for the acre that's reasonably level.) The best method seems to be to keep the grasses cut with string on the Echo before they get too high. A firestorm cleared out the grasses on the lower acre for me back in October, so I have a bit of a head start this year. The firestorm also reminded me of the value of keeping the grasses cut down! Fire stopped 45 feet from the house; I had just mowed that area with the John Deere two weeks before. The fire also cleared out the wild blackberries -- for now. [/QUOTE]
