Lawn Trimmers For Sale in Pennsylvania & Maryland

Lawn Trimmer Buying Guide
Lawn trimmers (sometimes called string trimmers) are small devices that are designed to fit into those narrow crevices and areas that your average lawn mower simply can’t access. You can use a lawn trimmer to tidy up sidewalks or walkways and to trim long grass around fences and trees.So how do you find the right lawn trimmer for your needs? Bobcat of York, Frederick, Hagerstown, Lancaster and Adams County, owned by Crownstone Equipment, serves the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland as your local lawn trimmer dealer. Read on to learn more about lawn trimmers and how they can help you get the manicured lawn you desire!
Curved or Straight Shaft?
First, you’ll want to decide whether you need a curved or a straight shaft on your lawn trimmer. The curved shaft is bent halfway between the trimmer head and the handle of the machine, while a straight shaft doesn’t bend at all.Straight-shaft lawn trimmers are good for tall people to use because they let you trim without having to kneel down or stoop to get the trimmer head where it needs to be. Meanwhile, short people will probably prefer to use a curved shaft because of its maneuverability and ease of use. Test each one out at your local dealership to see which one feels more natural to hold and easy to use.
Power Source
Next, you should decide how you’d like your lawn trimmer to be powered. Your options include gasoline, power cords or batteries. Each one cuts just fine, so it’s more a matter of personal preference and range of movement.Gasoline-powered lawn trimmers are the most common style as they are very portable, but they can be loud, so hearing protection is required (as well as the courtesy to not use it at 6 AM on a Sunday morning).
Power-cord models are the least expensive option, but they require an outdoor outlet and a very long extension cord and you’re limited to the length of that cord in terms of how far you can go.
Battery-powered trimmers run very quietly and start up well. The only caveat with them is that the battery may not last that long, so you may only get about 30 minutes of trim time before you need to do a recharge.
