Ok, I am in the process of getting my new logo made and starting to purchase equipment. I am wondering has anyone purchased or rated the Worx GT as seen on tv. I guess this edger is battery operated here is the link:

My question is I can spend around $200. What is the best edge/trimmer to purchase?

Lawn care business tips
I am thinking that you might be going through a lot of batteries if you are using this all day long.

Here is another post on trimmers that might be helpful

http://www.gophergraphics.com/forum....;t=8015

Anyone else have any thoughts??

You make an excellent point. I will have to go with a gas edgers. I am looking for one that has the guiding wheels on it. As I was going to get my morning coffee today and thinking about my business I seen a truck that had a lawn care sign on it pulling a trailer. All that was in the back was a push mower a barrel and some brooms. I said I know I can do this!

There is no doubt you can do this. We have another lawn care forum member on here, who got his business started when he got out of the military. He used the customer's mower and drove around in his car.

Then he saved up and bought a mower and transported it from job to job, in his car trunk!

I highlighted this story in a GopherHaul show episode.

Does this inspire you?
