Gary, I did not. It doesn't show in the pics, but some of the slopes on the front and back of the dam are very severe. I wanted a light, but well built trimmer that was easier to manhandle.
The self propelled model was also a little more than double the price. I just don't use that feature enough to warrant another $600. If I needed it on more level ground, I'd sure reconsider and maybe get the self propelled model.
