MOORHEAD — Growing up in Nevis, Minn., Aaron Halik decided working at the local grocery store wasn't enough and started his own lawn care service.
After realizing the amount of time it took to cut both the lawns and the weeds, he came up with an idea. Several years later, the Trimyxs was born. Mini Wood Cutting Lithium Chainsaw Review
"The Trimyxs basically functions like a weed trimmer, but it simply attaches to your push lawnmower," Halik explained. "You have the control right at your fingertips while you're mowing."
Halik is a mechanical engineer, gaining the know-how to build his invention right over the river at North Dakota State University.
While he was skeptical if he would ever pursue his dream, a few years ago he knew he had to really go for it, he said.
"Four years now, I've been working on the Trimyxs," Halik said. "That was when I actually decided to move forward. I decided to say, 'You know what, I'm not just making this an idea, I'm going to make it happen.'"
