[JTeLarkin08]

Hellbendr take care of this one!!!

Caution do not and I repeat DO NOT use one of those if you have a sprinkler system. The guy next door thought he would do me a favor and go ahead and edge mine while I went in for a cold beverage and took out 6 of my heads.

The grass there is sloped to the road and pretty thick. If u put the edger in the grass the blade won't go down far enough. The arm that holds the blade drags on the ground and makes it very difficult.

From my previous post.

Lol. That's funny. I have been edging for 43 years and just balance the two tires on the curb and go. Ain't that hard.

I can't get 2 wheels on the curb. The front two are well inside the rear. There's not enough up adjustment in the arm to get the front wheels on the ground with the one back wheel on the curb.

The one we had you could rotate the the blade slightly for a hill side situation.

That's exactly what I do on my curb and it works great.


Edit: my front wheels are different than his so it's a different deal.

Where did you get that? The smithsonian? Ever heard of a stick edger?

i got a thing for those McLane, they are tough to kill, that looks like a 3hp if im correct. i have a 2.5hp White "Lawn Boss" i think its from the 70's, still runs like a champ, but it sure doesnt like that ethanol stuff. and a cinch to work on.

Nice Job. You must be rich you live in a neighborhood with curbs.

Here is the front of my edger



Pretty much the same set up.

Nice use of clamp and piano dolly. Those McLane's are great machines. Try Ethanol Shield in the gas to prevent carb problems. (Sure you already checked to see if blade could be angled to allow for slope of grass.)
