- Today I used the Cub Cadet ST 100 walk behind string trimmer to clear overgrown weeds in front of our barn.

I have had the ST100 for a few years for my lawn business. I notice in videos when folks use the unit they try and hold the front of the unit up off the ground. I let the ball on the front of the trimmer guide the unit along. In my opinion it makes using the unit much easier to operate. I also adjusted my string guide up an inch not cutting on the dirt or ground level. The ball on the front was designed to act as a third wheel. Use it as such and the trimming job becomes easier.
Thanks!
keep a CLOSE EYE on that CONE part that drags the ground, my neighbor wore through his and grass, sand etc got up in there in / on a exposed bearing, and you can't take the thing apart, you have to buy a complete spindle
@@REVNUMANEWBERN Interesting comment. I have never heard anyone else having that experience. The actual ground surface the unit shares would dictate the future life of that cone area. Thank you.
@@billhendrickson5506 Hey Bill.. You sound like somebody with a bit of knowledge on these things. I'm currently looking for something to keep the long grass and small shrubs slashed and I noticed they sell similar equipment to this here (Laos) with steel blades. After watching this video and seeing what some of the DR brush trimmers can do.. my question is: On a job similar size to what Chrissy just did, how often would you need to stop to add more cord/string? Have you had any experience with these type of brush trimmers with steel blades attached. Pros/Cons?
Thanks in advance mate
@@NowinLao How long does the string last? It all depends on what you are cutting. Normal weed growth the string lasts a long time. If your cutting or trying to cut tough, woody type growth you will experience more wear on the string. I suggest IF you purchase one of these machines to bulk buy the string and cut to proper length. You will save big time on string price(s). In my experience using the metal cutters. They are very dangerious. The knives are sharp and are spinnng at a high rate of speed.
Purchased this walk behind trimmer at a reputable big box store. After putting in fresh, treated 91 non-eth gas..and checking for right amount of oil, would not start. Would NOT start. Had several bird strikes on it so figured it sat outside somewhere for a good portion of it’s life…ascertained it is 2021 model. Tore down and removed carb. The main jet was plugged. (from old gas when started at factory ????). After small eye dropper prime, started right up, but, didn’t run very long. After repeating this 6 times finally continued to run.
I own one of those and love it for mowing wooded trails and the septic mound, I even mowed my yard a time or two when I was without a lawn mower for a short while. I use the cub cadet orange pre cut square string and they are awesome. It will even cut through small saplings if the strings are fresh.
I need one of these for our "Scotland Yard" because it has hundreds of surface stones. Nice video, thanks for sharing! 👍 - David
It’s definitely handy to have around for the areas you can’t mow.
Good evening to both of you 😉👍 That is not a walk in the park for this mission Miss 😮💪 You did it with flying colors 👌👍💪 Keep up your OUTSTANDING WORK 💪👍👌😉 Cheers 🍻
We definitely won’t be letting it get that over grown before doing it again! Thanks for watching!
@@HillsideAcres It was a great fitness exercises 🤣🥴👍 Have a great TGIF Miss 🍻
It makes a,big difference if you cut in such a way that the uncut area is on the left. If on the right then the machine piles the cut grass in front of the wheels whereas the other way puts the cut material well away from the wheels. It took me a long time to figure that out!
The machine almost pulls itself along when cutting on the left.
True. And the best mowing will be continuous along the same path, not back and forth. The cut will be much neater if the discharge is to the right.
I have the same unit and I found if you start on the outside and walk in a counter clockwise direction it discharges the material to the right, and onto the cut area and does not clog the discharge chute and bog down the motor.
Good job Christie! Had a DR similar to that, did great in rough ground. Over the years I’ve got everything cleaned up & leveled to where it can be mowed with a commercial zero turn once a month or bush hogged a couple times a season.
It really is nice to have around for the areas we aren’t able to mow. That’s our plan over time too, to clean up these areas that it’s needed so we can just mow/brush hog instead.
wow, that cub cadet really did the job! Looks so much better.
Hi Chrissy. Nice job. I need one and a good looking operator.😉
I might be wrong but it seems they are very popular in Europe and Australia, or they used to be. Not sure.
Us old guys could use something like that. I am currently working on adding wheels to my edger, trimmer.
it ain't so easy at 86 years old. I don't have any tall grass so a weed whacker will do the trick.
It is easy to see how you stay so trim!
The trimmer went through some pretty thick and tall weeds, great job Christie 👍🏻, have a great day 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
I was really surprised how well it handled thicker weeds, until using it in this area we mainly only used it on grass.
I wished I had something like that for the country that'll be great
Thanks for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching. Take care and God Bless.
Looks like a lot of work. That works pretty well!!
It handle the thinker weeds much better than expected, thanks for watching!
I have never seen one of those trimmers working . Very handy for jobs like that . 👍
It’s definitely nice to have, thanks for watching!
That was pretty impressive Chrissy. I used to have a D R string trimmer much like that. I got rid of it because 20 years ago the string wasn’t what it is today. I was constantly changing string and I just got sick of it.
Great job. Full watch and a thumbs up. See you guys for the next one.
We tried out quite a few different brands of string before finding one we liked that we didn’t need to change constantly. Thanks for watching!
Great job 👍 that was a lot of work. You don’t even look tiered. The string trimmer walk behind did better then I thought. Nice video😁👍
It’s surprising how well it handled thick weeds, we’re definitely not letting it get that over grown before we clean it up again though. Thanks for watching!
Excellent informative video..
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Thank you, great video
My son bought a similar one a few years ago, man those things are nice!
Appreciate the tutorial and review
They definitely are handy to have around, thanks for watching!
All I could think as I watched the grass pile up, is how much a flock of chickens would love to be set loose for an afternoon on all of that!
I have found that if you use 2 strings 18" long at .155 gauge less chance they come off and don't break as easy with thicker weeds meaning longer time in between putting new string on, tight fit but doable
G'day from Western Australia.
Good job with the brush cutter mate!
Thanks Mike, Appreciate you watching!
That thing is a beast. It did a great job! Shakespeare is headquartered right down the rd from me! A SC company! Good job Christie.
It really is a beast, I was impressed how well it handled such overgrown weeds. Thanks for watching!
Good work on a tough job!
Thanks for watching!
I bought one of those because of you guys. I was not able to find the Cub Cadet one around my area when I needed it so got the Troy-Bilt from HD. They are amazing and I am sure you have seen a few of my videos on it. I know Richie has. I need to get some of that string. You guys are happy with the performance of it, it sounds like.
We tried quite a few different strings before finding one we liked. This is the first brand that doesn’t break constantly.
@@HillsideAcres Cool! I will be sure check it out then. I have like 2 strands left of what came when I bought it.
Watch out for the sunburn 😎
Thanks for the video. Just what I was looking for before making my purchase. Maybe someone reading this will know if the beaver blade can be attached to this for woody brush? 👌
I'm really impressed! I had no idea those walk-behind units did such a great job. #purplecollarlife
I was actually surprised how well it handled thick weeds. Until using it to clear this area we’ve mostly just used it for grass along fences.
thanks
Try soaking the trimming line in water for 24 hours before using it. It don’t brake so easy.
Has anybody had any experience with these type of brush trimmers with a rectangle steel blade attached? Just wondering how often you need to change the cord on these trimmers or would a blade be better?
That’s a lot of work for sure
Eye protection is a must with those things
No insects biting you ???
I had to watch this video twice to see the Trimmer work. I was a bit distracted on the first viewing. 😍
It's not just a "unit", it has feelings. I wasn't looking at her legs. Going round and round is less work, I see a lot of wasted motion.
Those trimmers do a much better job in that thick grass and weeds then I would have thought! I wonder how hard one would be to push around hill’s? Great video!
It’s probably not too bad, I’ve been considering making a mount to put it on the pallet forks lol
@@HillsideAcres I’ve watched Kyle use his some too, I can some situations where one would be better then a hand held trimmer.
@@khtractors it really shines on all the pasture fencing, we’ve got about a mile of it total, much easier to just walk it along especially since it gets pretty tall
TWO WORDS-(SAFETY GLASSES). But other than that it was a good job
Babe, keep a CLOSE EYE on that CONE part that drags the ground, my neighbor wore through his and grass, sand etc got up in there in / on a exposed bearing, and you can't take the thing apart, you have to buy a complete spindle
Im watching the girl f**k the grass lol 🤣🤣
thanks for watching
👍Thumbs up
Thanks for watching !
That thing worked good! Do you ever use it to clean up fence lines or is it easier to use a weed eater for that?
Cleaning up fence lines is the main reason we bought it and it works great on them. It’s much quicker and easier to use than a regular hand held weed eater.
@@HillsideAcres Good to know!! Thanks!
Hello from Minnesota! To bad you can't just brushhog it. flat tire on tractor is no fun though.
Brush hogging it definitely would have been a lot easier!
@@HillsideAcres maybe a good magnet will pick up the nails?
Engineers made push brush hog mowers with blades that you can push and it come with self-propelled
Let me know when you will drop it off lol
Will this do well with Blackberry Bushes?
It should we’ve used is on fairly thick brush with no issues
cutie, put safety gear on. please buy a head set with Google
you look great.
This girl is cray no pants or safety glasses or gloves.
Not everyone was raised in bubble wrap lol
No safety glasses? 🤦🏻♂️
No
The ST100 is the right tool for the job. However, young lady, you need to wear proper eye protection and clothing.
Next time
Watched 1 second and that's it... I don't support mowing in shorts.
Ill make sure she wears some jeans next time. Thanks for watching for a second.
Please consider using a mask to protect your lungs from all the debris
Lots of Covid in the grass
Nice oufit for getting likes but VERY impractical for running a machine like that... I have one, they through a LOT of debris, including rocks, sand, etc. even with the guard attached, long pants and long sleeve shirt mandatory....additionally, I hope you have a low deductible w/your optometrist (safety glasses????)...not setting a good example for the viewer.
Thanks for watching !
ABSOLUTE PIECE OF FREAKIN' JUNK WITH A COMPLETELY WORTHLESS WARRANTY! - Mine is less than a year old, started smoking during operation, oil turned pitch black, and I thought, "Great, burned valve or wasted valve guide, okay, 'Three Year Warranty' though, right...?" WRONG! Even though the machine has less than four hours of run time, the dealership said that the valves were out of adjustment, and that would NOT be covered... I said, "Hang on... You're telling me this thing's engine is such a colossal piece of shit that they expect the valves to be out of adjustment after being run FOUR HOURS?" First piece of Cub Cadet Equipment... LAST piece of Cub Cadet equipment. Happily going back to Husqvarna...
AVOID CUB CADET LIKE THE PLAGUE, THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR EQUIPMENT!
Thanks for sharing, no issues here going on three years with no maintenance lol
Need a dealership
You should not be show a girl Mower in cutoff it not safe for her
Could result in a boo boo
