Certainly. I recall using a "golf club" style trimmer years ago,
basically just a double sided V notched blade at the bottom you just
swung back and forth. Very simple, inexpensive and not particularly
strenuous to use either.

Sound like it works pretty well so why did you stop using it?

I got a Shindaiwa T270 that will do truly scary things like going
through a 2" dia tree in a fraction of a second with a brush blade on
it. It's also faster when trimming long areas and can trim up directly
against a foundation which the golf club type can't quite do.

There are wheeled string trimmers. The DR Trimmer is probably the
best of that lot. www.drtrimmer.com

Great when you have lots of trimming, very heavy trimming, slopes,
around ponds, etc. With their chainsaw style blade accessory it will
cut through 3-4" dia saplings.

Would it actually be possible to "mow" with such a
device if the yard is small?
