The current cottage is difficult to imagine without a lawn. Even if not a Golf course, but a small green lawn is even on tiny plots of land. And lawns, no matter what size they are, from time to time need a haircut. We will not re-list all the equipment that can give the lawn a cherished well-groomed look, we will talk about trimmers. In fact, the trimmer is a godsend for a summer resident: convenient, practical, maneuverable, easy, takes up little space, and the price is much lower than that of wheeled lawn mowers. However, under one condition – the technique must be chosen correctly. What do you mean – right?
You know, in every case there are two mandatory components, without which success is simply impossible: theory and practice. They are both important, and it is desirable to get acquainted with them in the order in which we mentioned them. So, you have to buy a trimmer. What to pay attention to the choice was correct, the grass was trimmed evenly, and the mower when the first valiant attempts to fly the new thing not hunching your sciatica?
There will be advice that can be given only on the basis of practical experience. I hope they will help you make the right choice.
Each gardener – his trimmer
The ideal situation is when a certain model is selected for a particular person. Be sure to note:
1. Age: no matter how the veterans of the country business assured that they can still turn mountains, it is still necessary to be guided by common sense: age can not be discounted, it will not be possible to dismiss it. Of course, you can out of stubbornness to put on a heavy gasoline trimmer and mow the lawn, and then fall with an attack, but is it worth it?
Light electric and battery trimmers are just what the older generation needs. Their weight starts from 3-4 kg, for example, an electric trimmer Denzel TE-550 weighs a little more than 4 kg. to Cope with it will be the strength of a gardener of any age;
2. Physical strength: the same trimmers I would provide and the younger generation – teenagers who have a lot of energy, the desire to work there, and the physical form (due to young age) is still far from being able to cope with a serious technique.
Battery trimmers
One of the most important advantages is the quiet sound of the engine.
This trimmer is an ideal solution for summer residents with small children. When babies fall asleep, parents, relieved sigh, try to do something, while the beloved child did not require absolute parental attention. It is especially hard for parents of restless, always whining children, who are afraid to breathe while the capricious sleeps. But the sound of a working battery trimmer is unlikely to Wake the child, except that mow right under his ear (well, then do not put it to sleep on the lawn!). There are also Pets who from loud sounds fall into extreme anxiety: we had a decorative rabbit who panicked rushed around the cage even from a loud voice. What would happen to him at the sound of the close working brushcutters – scary to imagine. A familiar farmer said that he switched to battery trimmers for mowing grass around a small chicken farm: from the loud sound of a motorcycle chickens were much worse.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is the continuous battery life. Well, how many minutes (hours) it will take to charge, of course.
Electric trimmers
Light electric trimmer – salvation for summer residents who have to deal with mowing the lawn.
You know, many men and equipment is not considered, and many shortcomings were found and it fits me! Low-powered? Yes, so it is not intended for mowing deadwood and overgrown, and with a gentle lawn grass cope easily. After all, in the selection of equipment the main thing – to use it for its intended purpose! Is the mowing area limited by the length of the cord? Yeah, but I’m not gonna mow down the whole neighborhood, and if I feel like it, I’m gonna take an extension cord on a spool! Can’t mow in the rain? Well, I don’t know what to say… it’s not a problem for me to wait for the right weather. And those who are in the country is hitting, too, there is no reason to fall into despair: the grass will grow a little more until the next visit, it’s okay. Just a little more time on the mowing will need (the higher the load, the more heated the engine and often have to pause to cool it).
Taking into account the above, when choosing electric pumps, I advise you to pay attention to the following points:
- engine position. If it is above, so you can mow in the dew — when it is absolutely unbearable to give the lawn a decent view or for whatever reason have to cope faster;
- the configuration of shoulder straps (to list all the systems seen makes no sense, sometimes manufacturers are pleased with such an intricate weave of straps that you will not immediately guess how to attach it all to yourself). So, about the straps: they should be wide and (if possible) to evenly distribute the weight of the braids on both shoulders;
- if the cut grass is intended for animals, choose a model in which you can use disc knives (for all domestic animals I will not say, and cows and geese from the cut grass line refuse categorically!).
