| Mowers Direct Recommendation |
| By Mowers Direct |
Ideal for large areas that you want to look professionally manicured, whether you do your own edging or have a landscape business.
The reliable 6 horsepower Subaru engine does all the work, and large guide wheels make it a breeze to follow contours and curves.
This unit also features an adjustable cutting head that can rotate 110°. If you'd rather have a beveled edge around your plantings, just set the angle where you want it and the edger does the rest.
You won't have to lug a gas can along with you, either- the fuel tank holds almost a gallon of gas so you don't waste time running back to the trailer or garage.
It has two very minor drawbacks. First, it is a little less sturdy with 3 instead of 4 wheels. Secondly, it is slightly heavier than 2-cycle versions.
Otherwise, this Ariens Precision Walk-Behind Edger is a very affordable and reliable product. |

| "You get what you pay for" |
| By Paul August from (Lancaster, NY) |
I just purchased this machine and have used for the 1st time. What a great machine for my application- which
consists of about 500-550 linear feet of edging.
The unit is easy to start with a manual choke and adjustable throttle, and the safety bar vs. cutter blade rotation feature is great in that you can shut off the blade rotation without having to shut down the engine.
There are too many great features to talk about, and the only thing I regret about purchasing this Ariens unit
is that I waited this long.
Unfortunately I had purchased a machine from another company for about $225 and have junked it after 2 years. It was pure junk and constantly gave me problems.
I guess the moral of the story is, "You get what you pay for". |
