I need to clear tall weeds and bramble (thorn bushes)...will this be sufficient?

I think it depends on how thick your weeds and brambles are. The tool does an excellent job of clearing most growth and does so without binding. But truth be told, I don't attempt to use it for saplings or brush that's overly thick as I'd probably look for a circular blade attachment to do that.

This unit will take down tall weeds, no problem. I'd bet that the bramble will be cut easily as well. I am very pleased with this weed eater especially it's power.

I purchased it for my uncle's 10 acre property, mostly to clean up brush and weeds. It does smooth the soil, and will move rocks and gravel around, but I dont think it would be effective to actually remove them. We did use it for grading some areas on the property that were heavy with gravel, but the gravel is still there - just leveled out.

This will work fine for you, it will only kill grass. It is also labeled for vegetables. It will not kill weeds either, just grass. If you have more or technical questions try your county Cooperative Extension Office.

That might be true for some types of weeds. Or if you didn't follow with compost. I have found that the combination of using this tool and then applying 2 inches of compost to work very well.

Yes....mine does an excellent job at mulching the leaves. No complaints at all. I don't use it for major clean-up, just around flower beds.

The weeds will come back unless you get the roots out. However, it did work really well cutting them down.

Depends on the weeds. Won't pull up well established weeds, like big ones. I use it to level out humps.

Probably not - this is a high-end professional spray and designed to kill brush, but would probably easily erase your grassy weeds and your zoysia!

We have Floratam grass and it works well, but less is better. If you use too much it stunts the grass for a couple of weeks but it is the ONLY product that works on weeds. We LOVE the stuff, just use as directed :-)

For sure...I use it on my palm trees, which look like much bigger stalks than the summer sweet bush.The blade is only 5 or 6 inches so it's not a sweeping hedge trimmer, rather an individual branch trimmer. Good luck.

Yes, I've only had previously stubborn large weeds and BlackBerry plants which are a challenge. Wish you the best.

I have cut grass and weeds up to 3 feet and had no problem. We have a lot of russian thistle up here in North Dakota and it goes through it like butter. I love this machine.

It will handle them, the vac function works very well and the mulching blade is durable. However it will be very noisy with the acorns being ground up! On the down side, the blowing function does not work well for anything heavier than dry leaves - the end of the nozzle is too small to allow a lot of air out.

I cannot compare to the Weed Eater mentioned, as I do not have it. However the B&D; LSW36 is excellent and I am in my second year of use. Does a great job on sidewalks, two proches I have, two car garage floor and driveway areas. Really clears off debris, unless wet grass and then I am not sure any but an industrial gas blower would move wet grass.

I think it would be better to simply mulch the weeds. The Dragon is best used to eradicate poison ivy and sweetbriar and in ridding weeds around rocks and the like. You don't get an immediate "flame" like you would if you simply set some brush alight with a match--first heat comes out, and the flames only appear if you have something flammable, like dry leaves, around. Even then you can burn them if you take the precaution to have water nearby to take care of any possible runaway flames.

A regular pump sprayer is fine with this- I haven't had any problems with clogging. Just be sure not to use a sprayer that previously held weed killers or you may inadvertently knock off some of the plants you are trying to protect.
