Allan -- We have a roadside market with a small orchard (~450 trees) and
truck garden. Purchased a 'DR' trimmer (big wheel walk along string
trimmer) and love it. Do not want to herbicide under trees, I bush-hog the
aisles and then the DR gets underneath the trees. Yes, they are costly but
sure do the job and then some.

Thanks, Tom. I bought the heavy duty SEARS version of the rolling line trimmer. I love it and it's 'indespensible,' however, it has been in the shop for 3 weeks and isn't due back until the 25th (and I don't really expect it then). To be honest, design and materials-wise, the Sears model is a piece of crap. If this warranty work really does come back Zero-sum and reasonably soon, I may be a little happy I went with SEARS rather than 'agricultural' company.

Thanks for the info. -Allan
