speaking of murder machines

I use this at the hunting property and we're taking down waist high grass, thistles and reeds. Works like a charm but make sure you have replacement blades because if one blade breaks it's out of balance and will wreak havoc on your arms
Weed Warrior Push-N-Load Residential Grade 10.13 in. L Blade Trimmer Head - Ace Hardware

ive used those (or something similar) on the hand held weed whackers, they do a great job, and if you take your time you can use them to trim right down to saplings

they do sell a kit for my machine, but im not sure if i trust myself with it (and its 250 buck)
