I can't help feeling like the string trimmer would be enough, but I know the brush cutter is much more heavy duty and can take a beating in alot of situations. Remington RM1159 159cc 4-Cycle Gas Powered Walk-Behind High-Wheeled String Trimmer - 22-Inch Trimming Mower for Lawn Care, Black. If anyone has any feedback either way on either type of machine, or some examples of what they do well or don't do well I am all ears. For as much as I would use it, I don't know if it's going to be worth the money. My main issue with this is it's overall price. It works much like a bush-hog and chops things into a fine mess, including small saplings and sticks.
Likewise, they sell a much more expensive walk-behind brush option, which obviously would do alot more dammage to the debris I am cutting. I don't know much about the brand either, but it's what's available locally. Below is the option I am considering for the job.

It may also assist in keeping the fence row's clean and free of junk, which helps the entire farm look better. However the price is much better than that of the brush cutter which uses blades.

I have never used a walk-behind string trimmer before, but I have obviously used a weed-eater. Our Premier model offers vastly more power than any handheld trimmer and will power. We'd like to keep a path cleared in order to get to the creek for fishing and swimming with the kids, but I'm not sure which way to go.
Needless to say this area had some already young trees and saplings alike, with the majority of it being 1/4" thick weeds and plants, up to 1", maybe even some 1.5" stuff. I bought a tractor this year to bush hog most of the easily reached areas, but that's another story. While I don't have to keep this acre totally clean, it would be nice to keep a small part of it clean in the form of a wide path down to our creek. At least 1 acre of this is down by a creek and in somewhat marshy conditions which allows for quick growth and lots of random weeds and plants to take root. So, we own about 20 acres of land of which 5 or more needs to be kept clear each year.
