Got me a new toy for my garden use a couple of days ago and tried it over the weekend plus compare it with my other garden tools with 18 volts rechargeable batteries. A rest from metal working, Sat. and Sun. I spent these days at the garden lawn trimming and doing some maintenance work.

Here are pics of my new toy, its a RYOBI petrol fed hedge trimmer, though only a surplus from my suki supplier of garden tools and gadgets, but still can be considered as 99% brand new.
Tested and used it to trim over grown and unruly hedge plants along the driveway and it did quite well and was able to do the task very fast and efficiently.

Then got my other hedge trimmer, an OZITO 18 V rechargeable, compared the cutting blades and performance, well I like better the gas fed RYOBI.

Re: HEDGE TRIMMING and GRASS CUTTING

Anyway to continue with my weekend garden chores, I did some clean ups on my long driveway before doing the edge and grass trimmings.

And with the aide if this McCulloch blower, cleaning up the driveway has become faster and easier for me since I don't have a gardener/helper anymore. Actually I have two of this, the other one is a reserve.

Re: HEDGE TRIMMING and GRASS CUTTING

Well for grass trimming or cutting, I wasn't able to finish the entire garden lawn but will continue in the coming days to come.


This is only a portion of what I was able to finish trimming the overgrown carabao grass.

During grass trimmings, I usually have with me three grass cutters ready since I have a very large area to do the said task, but if your area is just the right size or smaller one in front of the house, or behind and around your house, perhaps a unit will do. It will be a lot faster and time saving probably for you or if you have an inhouse gardener to do the grass trimming. And for lawns covered with bermuda or carabao grass, I highly recommend using the nylon grass trimmers and not the bladed ones. The bladed ones are used for tall grasses known as " talahib or cugon ".

Re: HEDGE TRIMMING and GRASS CUTTING

Another reason why I keep several line trimmers and a bladed one is that during the course of the said task, a unit bogs down or gets defective, I have more units to use that are on stand by. Like what happened to my one grass trimmer, the starter pull string got frayed and snapped. 🙁


The three nylon line trimmers I usually use for trimming the large lawn.


This is what I mean, one of the grass trimmer's starter pull string got frayed and snapped due to wear and tear, so its now out of commissioned for the meantime and will bring it again to my supplier for free service and replacement of the starter pull string. And still I have two more units to continue grass trimming the area.

Re: HEDGE TRIMMING and GRASS CUTTING

Wow you have a nice place there sir!
Fresh and cool environment...especially this summer season the weather is getting hot you can stay there in your lawn to cool you down and you might save electricity as well no need to use your a.c.

How i wish i have a place like yours..
Pwede ba ko mag bakasyon sa inyo???!!! 😀
Be safe while doing your trimming there
Don't forget to wear your eye protection
The flying debri of the plants will become nasty if it get into your eyes!

Re: HEDGE TRIMMING and GRASS CUTTING

Thanks bro phezthie,

I know what you mean by "gandang alagaan ng manok", hehehe, mga panabong ba bro ??

Well my place used to be a 5 hectare poultry farm in the early 60s up to the early part of the 80s, we just have to close shop due to very steep price competitions with the two known farm integrators, supplier of feeds, medicines and day old chicks. 🙁

Pag aalaga ng livestocks are time consuming and taxing, so nag sawa na kami sa livestocks.
:rolleyes: :coffee:
