Just carry a battery electric string trimmer on your mower.

THAT'D WORK JUST FINE, I'M SURE. BUT... ONCE YA HAVE A MAJOR STROKE & WIND UP REALLY HANDICAPPED... YA START THINKIN' OF WAYS TO DO THE JOB AT HAND, IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MANNER THAN YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DO IT. THANKS :) LOL
( I CAN'T STAND W/O A CANE (NO BALANCE) AND ONLY ONE ARM THAT WORKS.)

I bet goats are more maintenance than just about any machine. They still need to be fed in the Winter.

However... I have several areas of brush that's littered with Poison Ivy, and I'd love to be able to rent some goats.
Look online, there are people that rent goats out for clearing land.

I too require a cane. left arm works better than my primary right arm.

I can work my caps lock key.

Nothing more than an oar lock strategically placed on the rider is needed to control the standard unmodified string trimmer one handed. Rest the trimmer shaft in the oar lock, then one hand for the trigger. An electric doesn’t have a pull starter.

I use a Country Clipper with joystick, driven one handed.

THANK YOU!!!!. I USE EITHER A ZT WITH BARS, OR MY SIMPLICITY LEGACY... BOTH DRIVEN ONE HANDED. I'VE GOT A GAS STIHL TRIMMER. I'LL DO SOME SERIOUS THINKIN' ON JUST HOW I CAN USE A BATTERY POWERED TRIMMER. IS THERE SUCH A THING? I'M NOT INTO BATTERY POWERED EQUIPMENT. I'M "OLD SCHOOL" ( I MOW 4 ACRES. LOL )

A mower mounted trimmer is a neat idea, but doesn't do much good in areas where the mower won't fit.

Grass that is not being grazed is but a green cancer, requiring prodigious quantities of money to keep under control.
