Experience Born and raised in the midwest. Started tinkering with engines when I was about 14 on my Suzuki RM-80. I began lawn mower repair at a small hardware store. I knew absolutely nothing. I read lots of repair manuals and met an older fellow who taught me many lessons. I continued working on small engines through high school and paid my way through college working on mowers at the same hardware store. Decided to get away from the midwest and mower repair so I joined the Air Force. I repaired air traffic control electronic equipment and ended up in Hawaii where I got a part time job at Small Engine Clinic. I gained a lot of experience from the Small Engine Clinic and had a blast repairing small engines. I then took the Briggs and Stratton Master Service Technician test and earned my MST. I then traveled to Wisconsin where I attended the factory update training seminar and received formal training. I received a scholarship from the Air Force and am currently pursuing another degree.
Question Eric, I've decided to buy a trimmer mower.i'm looking at the Dr trimmer mower 6.25 sprint model trm625m and the swisher model st60022q 22" trim-n-mow.both have Briggs and Stratton engines, which one would you recommend?
Answer Seems like more dealers sell DR products and parts are a little easier to find locally.
Is there a DR dealer near you? How about a Swisher dealer?
Both sell parts on-line so ordering parts should be easy.
DR products are good quality but generally cost more.
What is the price difference between the products? If there is a large price difference I'd try the less expenssive brand to see if you like the trimmer mower.
If you have a lot to cut you may want to invest in the self-propel model. Does not seem like much to push but if you use it for 2-3 hours at a time they can get heavy.
