Weed eater
 

Looking for a new weed eater. What's the best one out there? Should I go 4 stroke or 2 stroke?


BROWN FIN

Stihl

Echo is the best I have found always starts

Echo

Shindaiwa

Stihl makes a bad azz one

x2

In order of $$; echo ,redmax/shindawa
Stilh is now selling in big box stores which usually means their quality will suffer like all the brands sold there; huskvarna, JD,Toro, ect.
Bought my echo from moss bluff mower and they take care of my service work reasonably.

unless stihl changed carburetor designs id stay away from them...echo, huskvarna & redmax are good ones...My friend owns a small engine shop and had to warranty hundreds o stihl carbs on trimmers.

Shindaiwa. By far. I worked at a small engine/lawn care shop and by far they are the best. And if u could get so lucky as to get your hands on a T270 even better but for whatever reason they discontinued that one. It was the baddest weedeater in the land

Carb died on my 5 yo stilh, replace for $70 + labor or spend $200 on a new echo?

Echo....nuff said...5 acres twice a month, never a problem...

Echo going on 8 yrs..no problems...been using fuel additive also...

Echo p225. U can put different attachments on it.
I also use tru fuel which is premixed with no ethanol

X1000

Shindaiwa for sure, but they are pricey. And that T270 is the Honda 300 of the weedeater world. Can't kill that thing.

I've got Echo 2 stroke ... great weed eater .. also bought from moss bluff mower

Shindaiwa with out a doubt. I been having mine for 7 years now and NO problem what so ever. Never even changed the spark plug. Best out there.

I got a shindaiwa from someone who let theirs sit for 8 years with an empty gas tank. I was able to get it running within 8 pulls! I wouldn't of thought that myself. Put gas in it only.

Echo, in the process of switching all my gear over. Got the weedeater last year and just got the echo back pack blower. Real nice.

Round up makes an awesome one!!!

11yo and a 8yo ECHO here and neither have been to the shop yet!

i have a stihl fs90 its tough. I have the metal brush cutter attatchment that i use to clean along the bayou cutting small trees and all that. That metal blade also works great for cuttin rosos to brush the duck blinds with.

I know a guy that works on small engines. He said his first choice would be stihl with echo a close number 2

I would buy an Echo 280T, which is a high torque modle. I have been running one of these for close to 10yrs with around 8yrs of heavy commercial uses with my business. I use my weed eater for edging, trimming, cutting large areas that I cant get a mower and cleaning over grown fences and around trees.... this thing has been great and never had any problems.

X2... I hate weed eaters!!!

Messicans also work very good and don't need non ethanol fuel.

I ave a stihl and like it. Did replace the bulb this year. Also whatever you get, get one that takes multiple attachments. I regret not doing that and it sure would be handy.

Was a certified Sthil Mech, and also own a shindiawa, cant go wrong with either.
