Best weed eater

I've run Echo for years for trimmer, blower. The only problem I ever have is degradation of the plastic / rubber hose parts and fuel bowl, probably due to ethanol. Love my Sthl chain saw though.

 

Let me see the weedeater

 

I will. Nothing functionally wrong with it. Just a bit much and slings shit everywhere. I’m not man enough for it.

Mucho power

 

Shindaiwa straight shaft....

 

Yeah. I just want to trim some weeds, not saw my house in half.

 

I expected something a little different in this thread

 

I got the Milwaukee M18 string trimmer and blower. They both kick ass. No more premix bs. I already had the M18 batteries and charger for my impact and drill.

 

Stihl for the win!

 

I have one I bought at Northern Tool. Works great. Straight shaft is only way to go. Also if ethanol free is available use it or True Fuel. Ethanol is death to small 2 cycle motors.

 

So is this why you don't drive MGM sorry I had to.

 

My wife does though. She’s way more capable.

 

If you want battery powered go with DeWalt.

 

I’m sorry, couldn’t hear you from over there in Tundras Live.

 

I work for a Milwaukee distributor, so I acquire quite a bit of their stuff through demos and samples. I have the small leaf blower, and the large one. They do ok, but just can’t measure up to my Husqvarna gas powered one. That thing is a beast.

 

Well then I hope you can read sign language!

 

Nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.

 

what brand you buy get the 2nd level up from their initial commercial grade trimmer. This will allow you to run a brush blade if ever needed. Worth every penny. I have a stihl FS131 but that is because I have a huge bank that I cant get to with mower. Also get the branded line. That stuff will cut through anything

 

I bought the Greenworks 60V leaf blower and liked it so much I also picked up the 60V cultivator. They both do an outstanding job, plus they both use the same battery!

 

I bought into the Ryobi 40v system. I have a chainsaw, trimmer and now their mower. 5yr warranty and everything runs like a champ, though the mower will drain the small batteries quick

My son-in-law used to own a landscaping business and he liked RedMax for trimmers and brushcutters. Stihl, Echo, Shindaiwa, and Husqvarna are also highly regarded, and there are probably others. If you are going with a commercial grade machine then you want to buy the brand that is available locally and has parts and service available when you need it.

 

This

 

Shindaiwa all the way. Commercial grade and worth the extra $$

 

Stihl Fs90r, fs91r or the 94r. I run 2 90s 2 91s and 1 94r.
Stihl makes good trimmers only brand I'll ever buy.

 

I have a Kawasaki and a Stihl. I have had the Kawasaki for 20 years easy. I have recently gone red and converted all battery tools to Milwaukee, so I am sure when the right deal comes along I will have the Milwaukee seedeater/edger combo. and the gas powered stuff will be sold off. I already have the chain saw and blower and for my 1/3 acre backing to woods, they are perfect.

 

Ron, did you take a picture of your weed grinder ?
