If I...I would go with mid size excavator cab type for protection from flying debris when digging stumps also unseen bees nest,plus AC if you live in warm region and good bright lights on the boom if you want to work when dark.
Blade does come in handy that angles for the finish touches.
Thumb...
I like to remove the blade place blade in vice than 4 1/2" hand grinder with abrasive pad disc not stone stone disc,slowly follow pitch of cutting edge,also clean surface where nut tighten against blade clean area from build up plus anti size thread.
Echo trimmers been very good to me for many many many,and I wouldn't think twice purchasing another....my uses are grass trimming thick tall hay weeds with blade and saw blade setup for some saplings.
