Those battery powered weed whacker are great for trimming around a 14X60 house trailer if that is all you will be trimming.

Lots of obstacles, long drive way. If you do not plan to do a great deal of trimming. Like clean up a two acre hill side and not use it for "commercial use" I would suggest a Husqvarna 124 or 125L. They sale for $190.00 at my local dealer. If you run a whacker 4 to 6 hours a day four or five days a week. Then move up to the 326 or 335L.

I would also highly suggest a straight shaft trimmer such as the 125L for they are much better balanced and easier to use around obstacles than the curved shaft models. And the Husqvarna L's have a clutch that stops the head from spinning when it is at idle. So they can be laid down to move things or open gates and not dig a hole in the yard or start spinning around in circles like 99% of the curved shaft trimmers like to do. It also makes them much easier to start.

I own six Husqvarna trimmers and (two 323, three 326 and a 125L) which are aged from a few weeks to seven years old, and the thing I love about them. Is once you start the engine. They will sit and idle until the fuel tank is empty. In other words they will run and you do not need to keep yanking the cord to start them continuously like I did the Stihls once they were used a few hours. I will never buy another Stihl product again..

Hard to beat a Husqvarna 125L using plain .80 round trimmer line...lol
