Our special needs daughter loves your weed whacking videos. They clam her and she lives the sound, including watching you cut the grass down to size. Thank you for making it. Please make more!! We really really appreciate it. Most other videos the people add music to it. Which ruins everything for the poor girls she wants to hear the engines. Not music lol. Thanks again
Happy to make them. I have an autistic son myself. You may hear music on my earlier videos though. But I learned over the years that most people don't want it. Thanks for your nice comment!
Your videos have really do help our daughter have much more calming days. Which in turn makes us smile out how much she enjoys it. Including the few rare moments it allows ours of relax we can maybe
With this kind of tall and thick grass, I use 6 flexible blades trimmer head it is faster and smooth cut avoid hard objects such as blocks etc. Then follow up by nylon head trimmer for edges and more clean cut.
JAY JAY soothing! You're the first person I've heard admit you like a droning noise! On a parr with a motorcycle, lawn mower, chain saw, man you're easily entertained!

Thanks for the real time - the Keystone Cops-type timelapse give a viewer no idea of time or technique but your vid gives a chap some ideas he can learn from.
That man gets a badge of courage from me. Any guy that weed-whacks in shorts must like pain. I can't imagine how anyone but a masochist would do that. Of course, I've heard nasty things about the heat in parts of the south in summer. Maybe shorts is the lesser of two evils.
Well it's really a matter of learning where it sprays and how to control where it sprays. You may notice that I'm not covered in debris. I'm actually mostly not getting hit.
@@Something2LookAt Well done. It's hard for me to imagine not getting slammed with something once or twice a minute. About 20 years ago, a gardener at my parents house took out a window when his weed whacker flung something hard enough to break glass. They can hurl small items pretty well.
Something 2LookAt your welcome man and thank you for letting me know the model name, will be ordering one this week. I have a small garden and debating on whether to go for the 322L or the 122. Your videos have helped a lot!!
I’m looking to purchase the Husqvarna 129LK as it is on sale at the moment. I have tall grass similar to what you have been working on if not shorter. would you say it’s fit for purpose in the long run?
This is the kind of stuff where a big trimmer would be really nice, like your 535 or a Stihl 131 or 240. I use a ported and muffler modded Echo 410 on a 3020 shaft and trigger. It’s 42.7cc but it cuts like a 55cc
You will notice that I used the 223L in my earlier videos. Had mine for years till I finally blew it up. And they don't make it anymore. So I got this 322L (not a typo.) It's the closest I could find to the 223. Not the same, but pretty good.
@@Something2LookAt You should give it full throttle, or at least let it rev higher. The torque kills, not the revs. It's very bad for the engine to be run like this.
Ádám Nagy well the main reason he prefer that 322 cause it is the lightest 9.26 lbs. however I heard engine bogging down a lot and only have 22.5cc and 1.01hp. There new Husqvarna 525LK that weight under 10lbs like 9.92lbs and have 25.4cc and 1.34hp. That trimmer would be perfect 👌 for him. He does a lot of overgrown grasses. So I do a lot of that as well on residential and commercial properties and I use Husqvarna 525lst and same power and displacement but slightly heavier than 525LK
@@travis10ist It's not a powerhouse I know. I have a 135 R, which is 34,6 cc, and 1.9 hp. It does really well with full throttle in overgrown grass too. Its 5 years old this year.
Ádám Nagy well that little overkill for that residential and commercial around building and houses 😁. But anyway below 1.2hp is residential levels. 1.2 to 1.4hp’s commercial levels and beyond 1.4hp like 1.6 to 2.3hp or higher is rugged commercial level/ heavy duty use
Nice VIdeo!!! I just got through pulling HUNDREDS of WEEDS in my backyard the transformation was Night and Day!!! I ended vlogging it and posting it on my own Channel!!!!
@@wh8085 lol, true. And it could happen. We have a big problem with wild pythons out here. We had a big one down the street that was snatching little dogs and cats. I hope to catch one on film.
Mel_19UZ It’s a hard bendable plastic wire. U can make it pretty long. The machine just rotates the wire very quickly. Due to the force and hardness of the plastic it cuts the grass.
Now that's a right mess, one that takes patience to tackle. If it were me I'd probably have gotten the trimmer head all tangled up. EDIT: I actually thought I got a piece of plant debris in my eye just watching this. yikes.
Central NY state here. I haven't had consistent luck in hiring lawn care companies. My yard is very small. Postage stamp is accurate description. Is weed trimming typically included in a mow as a service. Or do I need to state that I want it done. Previous years it was hit or miss. Trying to become more educated.
Is there a trick on how to hold the line trimmer. I noticed you're not wearing any eye protection. I would have been getting hit in the face and eye constantly.
Oh yea, I used to get hit a lot, but I've been doing this for 30 years now. I actually have learned to hold the trimmer at angles where it doesn't get me, yes!
It's comfortable for me. I had no idea I was holding it wrong the first 25 years before RU-vid. I tried it the way everyone else holds it and that is actually uncomfortable for me.
Do you get tendonitis in your arm from holding that awkward position and vibration for so long? Last time I used a weed trimmer for pretty long time without a break my tendons hurt for 3+ days and decreased grip strength.
A lot of the time you don't need a brush cutter, or wouldn't want to use one. You can run a brush cutter right up against a fence or a house without damaging the wall.
First dont use short pants for this job. You will be hit by rocks, debris, etc, that make your legs bleed. The number one mistake with those machines is to take the plastic protector.
Ive been doing this for 40 years, and i wear long pants and long sleeves! You never know when theres gonna be a piece of loose metal or a yellow jacket nest! Ive hit both( yellowjackets twice ) and my protective clothing saved my hide,literally! AND I leave the guard on, and wear a helmet with earmuffs and face screen!
To add to Mikes statement, you’re really not supposed to run the machine(s) full throttle. Lawn mowers for your house for example, run them at like %75. They last a looooot longer.
@@bryanjjones4163 Wow! First time ever having people agree with me. To further support this, I have been all the way through small engine repair school with my certificate and nowhere in the course, or any engine manual does it say that you have to, or should run engines at full throttle all the time. Just saying, it's a myth that most people believe.
@@Something2LookAt A few mower manuals I have read over the years suggest running the engine at full throttle at all times when mowing to "maximise cutting performance" but when you got a big fk off engine on a big fk off Cheetah doing resi yards you really don't need it unless you want to be blowing grass up and over the fence into the neighbour's place lol (which I have done on a couple of occasions before ;D)
Your running the string to long bud your going to burn up the trimmer and not cut as good they will cut better with the guard off and a lil bit more string then factory but that's to long i grew up in a small engine shop. It happens all the time
My trimmers usually last about 4 years and prefer the string out that long. It's worth it to me if that's a short trimmer life. Been doing this 30 years. I do what makes me happy.
@@Something2LookAt o sorry I comented on the wrong video there was one close to this one I guess that had the title of why are my trimmers not lasting that's the one I meant to comment on. If you get 4 years out of yours using it commercially your doing pretty good. At the shop I had commercial guys running there line out 2 ft an burning them up in a hurry.
Good question. For example you would want to run low throttle trimming against something delicate, like a PVC pipe. You can break open PVC pipes with these. But in open areas, yes, full throttle.
I use some stuff that nobody uses, but it's great! It goes by the name of Pulverizer, made by Weed Warrior. Real tough stuff. I use it in the .105 thickness.
1:47 Dad: Hey Jack come out here look what I found. Jack: Yeah dad what is it? Dad: Your ball you said you lost a few weeks ago, it was hidden under some weeds. Jack: Wow thanks dad I was looking for this
I'm using stuff called Pulverizer in the .105 size. Great stuff. Can't find it anymore. I now use twisted line from Grass Gator in the .105 size. It's like Echo Black Diamond but cheaper.
