Many larger gardens have areas of scrub and weed which need trimming but are not worth turning into, or too big to turn into, a lawn or flower bed.
And there again they are too big to use a strimmer, even a big machine used by local authority or estate workers.
This is where this great little machine comes into its own.
The MD Tondu Wheeled Trimmer Mower is a tough little devil which you push through banks of nettles and thistles and all the other rubbish which seems to grow no matter what the weather.
The strimming head at the front is powered by a 160cc engine and tough plastic line rips through the undergrowth like a knife through low-fat spread.
It is light and easy to push along and, with its big rear wheels, can handle really rough ground as well as banks and road verges.
The working width is 56 cm and it has an adjustable height of 35mm to 70mm.
The engine has a throttle control and a lever to engage the strimming head and there is a bale which cuts the engine when released, a handy safety feature should the family pet decide to take an interest.
We deliver it with five sets of replacement strimming line and you can buy an extra ten sets for £20.
It costs £299, £30 lower than than the recommended price, and we deliver it free the next working day. It has a two-year warranty.
There is a whole host of options for strimming lawn edges right up to cutting down the roughest areas where small saplings are growing.
