What makes a grass trimmer ideal for strimming a sloping lawn? Well, there are a handful of cordless grass trimmer characteristics that make it easier to work on a slope:
- Is it lightweight?
- Is it easy to use?
- Does it have good weight distribution?
With these in mind, here’s our shortlist of grass trimmers that tick the boxes and make it easy to strim a sloping lawn.
Grass trimmers perfect for sloping lawns
1. EGO STX3800
With a carbon fibre drive shaft, the STX3800 Professional-X battery grass trimmer is one of the lightest of all the EGO grass trimmers. It’s compatible with the EGO Power+ backpack and Pro-X backpack battery too, which spread its weight evenly for a balanced and comfortable experience. You also have less chance of slipping.
The grass trimmer’s loop handle is easily adjusted so you can find the best position to work in - important when you’re working against the gravity of a slope.
2. EGO BCX3800
Similar to the STX3800 cordless grass trimmer, the BCX3800 has a carbon fibre draft shaft and is compatible with the Pro-X harness. Both of these features combine to make the tool lightweight, balanced and easy to manoeuvre, regardless of the gradient of your lawn.
3. EGO ST1300E-S
The ST1300E-S is a powerful and efficient grass trimmer. It’s only 33cm too, making it small and compact. It keeps the weight close to the user so they don’t feel unbalanced and lose footing on sloping lawns.
Weighing at only 2.7KG minus the battery (our 56V batteries weigh in at 2.2KG), it’s lightweight so you are not having to carry a heavy tool against gravity while working uphill.
