A strimmer under 30 odd ccs will struggle with meadow grass. You need a machine that will run a grass mowing blade, much like a smaller version of a lawnmower rotary blade.
The cheap machines will struggle.
Get someone in once a year. I can cut roughly 300m2 in just over an hour with a big Stihl Fs460 for a rough guide.
A good hand with a scythe can cut even faster. Scything is an art - there is a lot to learn and it can be very frustrating unless you are well taught.
Farm it out to a good operator, or leave it to grow over each year and die back Just keep the weed plants in check by selective cutting and root pulling. Great for wildlife.
