best lawn mower for 7 acres image
SLM
I need a weed trimmer and I don't know what kind to buy. I need to weed eat my fence line and I have five acres. I already have a riding lawn mower, push mower and weed hog. I have used electric weed trimmers and they haven't worked so well. Where can I get a good gas weed trimmer?
Answer
Don't use an electric one. If you are above 5.10, you need to get one with a straight shaft and not one that is curved.
Best brands are Stihl, Echo, Huscavarna, and I have had good luck with a toro also. See if you can find one with a Honda Engine on it.
You want to get a high quality trimmer that allows you to replace the line very easily. With 5 acres you are going to have to let the line out 7 or 8 times. Also get a heavy duty one that uses a thicker line so you won't have to keep replacing it. Best Luck!

How often should I have my mower blades sharpened?

I recently purchased a new zero-turn mower and I was interested in knowing how often I should have my blades sharpened if I am going to be mowing multiple residences all summer long. Probably around 30 yards every 2 weeks or so for about 4 months.
Answer
You need to sharpen the blade ( or blades if you have more than one on the cutting deck) about every 15 times you cut a half acre. So if you were cutting 7.5 acres you should sharpen the blade every time you cut the lawn (since there are 15 half acres in 7.5 acres). This will speed up the rate you cut and reduce the amount of gas you use because you will cut faster and it will require less energy to cut the lawn.
Probably the best reason for sharpening that frequently is a dull blade will result in the grass drying out quicker and therefor a browning lawn. A sharp blade helps keep the lawn green and even.
I recommend having at least one or two extra blades so while you are using the blade on the mower the other blade can be sharpened at your leisure and installed readily when you are ready to change the blade.
Of course if you hit some large objects such as small rocks or sticks you may need to change the blade sooner than that.
