I need a weedeater recomendation

[Bigfoot]

I've always ran a Stihl. I got 3 kids, so I got 3 weedeaters. One weedeater has bit the dust. I've worked on it all I can. They get $70 an hour at the saw shop. I'm just not payin it. What do yaw use?

No need to look further than the brand you've been using.

Left out a key component. My daughter is about the gimpyiest child I ever saw. Arms like toothpicks. I need something lighter.

How can that be???

Her dad beat superman in an arm wrestling contest.

Mostly weedeat under fences. That might work.

I like Stihl, and run Stihl. I'm afraid the quality may have dropped of in the last few years.

Take it to the bank. It has. But nothing is any good unless you have it custom made.

they will eat out from under both sides of the fence.


Im seriously considering getting a DR type string mower . I have a almost 2 miles of HT fence to keep clean under now unless I decide to liquid trim it.

Best one I found is liquid

I bought a Stihl FS 85 in 98. Still going strong. Have replaced spark plug and air filter, that's it.

I bought an Echo weed eater years ago, from a shop close by that carried Echo brand. It is light is mainly what I liked about it, and it has held up good, have only had to replace a primer bulb. I would guess that Stihl is about as good of a brand that is readily available, I bought a chainsaw of that brand, a few years ago.
On a side note spraying Roundup is my method of choice for weed eating.

My Echo has been good.

I roundup a few things, but not much.

I have a black and decker cordless that runs for about half hour straight per lithium ion battery that has plenty of power. It uses .065 trimmer cord and you can turn it to edge also. I like it cause it's light weight and you don't have to fool with gas. Then again I only trim here at home. If we lived in the country I would probably weed eat around the house but spray roundup outside of barn or any outbuildings. Got my weed eater for about 120 bucks at menards

A schindiawa came heavily recommended by a guy that mows for a living.

I have an Echo model SPM 230S. I use it for my work with the rural water system, a lot of places too small to haul a mower but still a lot of grass to cut. I've had it for nine years, it's a good one, but heavy. I also have a Stihl FS45C, it's a lot lighter and runs great too. Can't go wrong with either make of weedeater.

I got the best value B&D bent shaft for my mom and I love it. Cheapest weed eater I ever worried about but it's perfect for what I'm doing.
