We need to buy a strimmer for a very overgrown garden and will need the
stronger type I believe called a 'brush cutter' for some heavier work.

clearance of overgrowth in a smallish one which will then be entirely
civilised, or a longterm maintenance project in a large one where you'll
use the brush cutter year after year. Also, how fit you are and if you
have a good back, because you'll need one for prolongued use of a HD
petrol machine.

With the shoulder harness that most petrol strimmers come with, weight
isn't really an issue. There is a big price difference though.
Kawasaki and Ryobi produce decent machines. They produce a lot of
noise, and throw up stones occasionally - a full visor and hearing
protection should be worn.
