A cow... uses no fuel and can clear plenty of weeds out of a field...
a Goat might even be better...
on the Mechanical kind, I've had good luck with an Echo I picked up at Home Depot..
those Japs are good at making real good small little engines...
had zero luck with the Ryobi 4 Stroke I had before this one..
wouldn't recommend a 4 stroke that small...

My Stihl weedeater is the worst piece of power equipment that ai have ever owned. Never seen a small engine that floods so easily. I have an old Weedeater brand that I paid $40.00 for, many years ago, that runs better.

Ours gets used for rough cutting around the grain bins. Sometimes the grass is a foot high Same here but the main use is a few spot in irrigation ditches that the ditcher misses. It would be way easier to spray with glyphosate but by the time I get to that particular job the grass and weeds are 2-3' tall. I forget the model but the 'heavy duty' Stihl weed whacker works great.

Straight shaft Echo. Not the Homodepot one. Go to a reputable dealer and get a mid engine size with .095 line.

Echo. I have a 22 year old Echo that is indestructible. I am not kidding, still running on the original spark plug.

Yep Echo just plain works. Have had several others over the years. Forget battery ones for real work.

Stihl is the only ones I own...Get the Kombi tool with all the different heads you can use with it. I have a tree trimmer saw, hedge trimmer, and weed eater head and all for the same unit. It works great. I also have a straight shaft that is 25 years old and still runs like new....I did have to put a carb on it a couple years ago.
