WALK-BEHIND VS. STICK EDGER

#1

I will soon be looking for an edger, and I don't know which would be better for my purpose, a walk-behind edger or a stick edger. I am thinking that a stick edger would be better since it is cheaper and also if I want to go to a close house I can push my mower and hold my edger. With a walk-behind edger that would be hard. But with a walk-behind edger it might be more stable and create a more crisp edge?

Stick edger. Highly portable and once you get comfortable with it you can make some really nice edges.

I have never used a stick edger but i think that might be better for you(more portable). I have used a walkbehind edger and those are good too. The only thing i dont like is doing a circle because the front wheel does not turn on mine.

A walkbehind is good for a first time edge on a overgrown yard.

Good job! It's really not all that difficult once you learn how to control the machine.

I bought a McLane edger, in great shape, from a guy who said it just would not work on his curved walkways.

IMHO, McLane is THE BEST walk behind edger.

The stick edger is the most practical. It's easier to use and takes up less space on the trailer. I have three Two Stihls and one Echo and if you buy your blades in bulk ( 50 to a box ) you can get them for like 89 cents a blade.:thumbsup:

I hate to say this, but that doesn't have the deep chiseled straight line look you get with a McLane.

WELCOME TO LMF!
I'm guessing it can, because it is pretty much the same, one is just bigger and has more wheels. I think it's a personal preference.
