Thanks Cory. Back pain from weed eating is not limited to guys as tall as you. At six even, I suffer from lower back pain with almost any of the box store trimmers & edgers, which is why I’m giving this one a try. Thanks for the review, and I will subscribe.
@@bjf5392 Works great. The harness absorbs much of the weight, eliminating the pain in my lower back. There’s really nothing to criticize, does it’s job reliably well.
Its always good to see different perspectives! I personally don't like bike handle style weedeaters and instead just use my stihl 131 loop handle with 1 hand, resting my elbow against the case cover. Much like you I'd prefer the option for a longer shaft. Even at only 6' 5" it would be a big help for 2 handed use
Watching Mow, blow and Go here yesterday, they don't have the height, but do have some serious noisy equipment that I would not even recommend. Condo completely closed up and the equipment was still too loud! 🤣 We have to save our backs! Nice to see that you found something which works for you.
Excellent ... I'm sending my brother a link to your video. He is *only* 6'5" but every time he does yard work, he can't hardly walk the day afterwards because he has strained his back so much. Thank you for this video!
I’m glad it helps and hope this style of weed eater helps him! being able to stand straight is so nice and i didn’t realize how much i lean while weedeating until I used this one.
I just ordered this weed eater from Home Depot, also a 250' spool of line and a 16 oz. bottle of 2 cycle oil for a total of $238 including tax. Hopefully it will last a few seasons. Thanks for your review.
I have this Wild Badger Power String Trimmer I purchased this last summer tried to use it this summer I won't start. I will to replace the spark plug but it does not look bad at all.
I hope you're able to get it running! That's the one thing I can never test with these products, is how long they last. I'd love to hear back if that works for you!
Got my subscription, but 19lbs... Im 6'4", cut half an acre of bamboo with a srm225 echo that weighs 11.5 lbs. And thats my heavyweight. My tanaka weighs 9.8 lbs. It will do the same job, harder to find parts for(30 years old)
I doubt it will last long. $199.00 is cheap for a 52cc brush cutter. The thing has to be 100% made in China. Which means replacement parts will be impossible to find. I only go with Echo, Stihl and Honda. You get what you pay for and Echo and Stihl are easy to get parts for.

How did it go?

That’s funny, when I eat weed it usually makes my back pain go away😂

Great trimmer my husband is really tall and has problems using smaller trimmers might have to look into getting one of these. Great review
Thank you! I hope it helps and if he likes it please let me know!

@@FreakyTallReviews - If he decides to try one out, I'll let you know how it goes.

FYI Wild Badger is an Amazon Brand. Also the heads are interchangeable with stihl heads/shafts. Thanks for the video.

just one thing you can unscrew that place where the harnes gose and slide it back i thing it is going to be better for you - (tall people)
“Easy to assemble.” You should call Planet Mojo and show him how.
