Sounds like your describing a shoulder mounted strimmer they altready exist

Here's lots of them

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=petrol+driven+strimmers&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe=&redir_esc=&ei=q9zOS5jfMp3InAOxo6g6

If you not describing a strimmer please put more detail so we can work out what your talking about.

I know d trimmers and how they function... Trimmers only cut or trim grasses 2 a low level... But this is expected 2 literally remove d weeds from d roots out from d soil... Will b used in gardens 2 replace the hoe...

Start with something like this. Substitute a flexible shaft, some sort of blade and add a sling.

Might not be much of a market for a shoulder slung weeding machine though
