    This TANAKA edger is used to 're define overgrown edging. It cuts through with ease. We have used it to cut a path in a school playing field with fantastic results. Very happy with it and as I say it's heavier and more controllable than a handheld edger. Great piece of kit to have in the arsenal Hope you find this interesting.

    After edging, I always use a string trimmer to clean up the hard dirt on the edge that a blower won't easily remove.

    I’ve got a lot of tools that rarely come out, but I have them. I’ve got an edger like that, can’t remember the make but I must get it out of my unit and give it a start up. I agree with you on the aspen waste of money🙂👍

      Yes it's great just knowing you have the tools at hand for when you need them 👍👍...As I said this fuel had been in it for about 18 months.. I'm not saying you should do that ..but all this "fuel won't last" is crap! Aspen is the biggest rip off since bottled water 🤔

    Re-did this comment on my proper account...For me edging is just part of the lawn maintenance service, I can use a strimmer along concrete have to use the kombi edger, I am getting better at border edging with the strimmer. really finishes the job. Looks so much better once done. it what I think separate us from the rest (no disrespect to other gardeners who don't)

  • @ftgoggi4715
    @ftgoggi4715 5 лет назад +1

    The edging attachment fitted to your 131r would have no probs with that. The benefit of a stick edger is that you can feel your way along the back of the concrete so less likely to veer off into the turf. Nice work, looks much better.

    I use the stihl km 131R with the edger attachment and goes through overgrown stuff like its nothing, I have a small van so I prefer the attachment and the kombi over these machines and its a bit more affordable as well but at the end of the day the results what really matters. Looks great 👍

    Good vid 👍🏼 I have the edger Attachment for the Kombi comes out with me everyday I find on these jobs where you cannot see the line you should be slighting pushing the machine with your left or right shoulder so the metal blade is in contact and constantly rubbing the side of the kerb stone and that guides you along. I prefer the Kombi edger as carrying your machine round with me daily would be a faff.

    Regarding Aspin etc when I did a chainsaw course a while back I took one of my old saws that's always been run on normal two stroke mix. On the course we used Aspin and the saw ran really bad. So bad I had trouble starting it. The instructor said it was cleaning the deposit in the engine as it ran. I personally will never use it on tools I've always ran normal two stroke on. Good vid and nice machine. Man after my own heart wanting any and every tool - I hate hiring.

    Getting that PERFECT edge.. TANAKA must have 13 Apr 2019
    . It would be better if the client paid you to remove the excess soil so that it was a bit lower than the concrete edge, thus only the grass could be higher where as soil that creeps down the slope would not spread onto the pavement. If the soil level was adjusted for about 18 inches there would no problem and the run could be done with a string strimmer. Blame the original landscaper for not knowing that soil slowly moves down hill due to getting wet and drying out. The types of grass used in the UK do not have root systems that can cope with soil moving down hill. To add to that large trucks force the road foundations down into the soft earth below that is forced out sideways, some country lanes are well below the surrounding soil level they were originally level or above level with the surrounding country side.

    • @vanreliant5584
      @vanreliant5584 5 лет назад

      I have used the Mantis edger attachment, it works very well needs a little more guidance than this one as it is an attachment and not a single purpose machine. Also as when tilling you walk backwards, but guiding it is easy enough and soon picked up. Another advantage of course is that you have a machine for a variety of jobs, and it tends to come out of the tool shed more often.

      Hi Lee, you can thank our government for the price 80% of the is tax... in Sweden you can get it at the pumps ... regarding the running issues will be down to the fact your engine will have a hefty layer of carbon Aspen has a high level of detergent in so it cleaning your engine the downside it seems to highlight carb issues especially those that have diaphragms in.. now I only have ever used HP Ultra oil and super unleaded and mixed as one shot to 5ltr... at 3 month old my KM94 was dripping out oil from the underside which at a glance could have been a crank leak but the oil was coming from the exhaust swapped to Aspen now clean as a whistle tho as you would expect if I use at low revs for a extended period then full throttle it will smoke for a bit but less the petrol oil mix now I only use it in my saw, hedge cutter, and the KM94 as I use it as my long reach hedge cutter

    If your not going to talk about it, I will, it is different than the McLane and the Tru cut.
    They are belt driven, this is shaft drive.
    You should be seeing sparks if your doing it right.
    They are useful here with a flat area but where the road edge curbing is a lot different in height the three wheel configuration is not useful.
    Then the steel blade combi tools shine.
    The combi tools are much cheaper, new, than this or the Atom edgers also the two I mentioned earlier.
