In the market for a bike handle trimmer

[Sloughfoot]

Agreed. My stepdad got 20 years out of one and I know he is not kind to machinery. Only time the oil was changed was when I took a notion to do it for him.

I change the oil in mine once a year maybe. It always looks fresh. Probably about 20 hours run time. The weight really isn't much of an issue hanging off a harness. I got this one to maintain a property we bought with a 1 1/2 acre yard and a blackberry infestation from hell. Mowed the whole yard with it a handful of times, about 4 hours constant before I put my foot down with accounting and demanded we get a lawn tractor.
