Chris Greene FDP Host Idaho, USA Charlie Don't Surf	May 10th, 2012 05:18 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic For my height, Stihl was the worst of the lot. Besides, if I'd set it down on the lawn I coulda lost it. You know, because it's green and stuff...

Doc B Contributing Member ********** ********** ****** San Diego	May 10th, 2012 06:08 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I like mine even better. It comes attached to a landscape dude. I do believe it is a Toro. It's red, anyway.

Dr Bass MD Contributing Member ********** * ProFootball HOF City Eat. Spit. Be Happy!	May 10th, 2012 06:27 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I too, love my Stihl, Pinetree. I like the selection of cutting heads you can choose - haven't used a string in over two years. The polycut blades rock - and hold up ten times better than the string line. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.
SandBagger Contributing Member ********** * Houston, Texas Unfathomable... without fathom.	May 10th, 2012 06:31 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Mine is an Echo. Only issue I'm having is the 'primer bulb' is a little dry rotted. Easy fix though.
Ryder Contributing Member ********** ****** Northwest Missouri Butterscotch Blues	May 10th, 2012 07:16 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I love my Husqvarna weed trimmer, except mine is on the heavy side...or I'm getting weaker in my old age. Chris, I also get the rubber arms. I have quite a bit to trim. It starts good, idles good, runs good, and cuts good!

Lesterstrat Moderator Florida Hog Slapper	May 10th, 2012 08:00 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic We use Stihl commercial/professional series string trimmers, hedgers, edgers, poll saws, blowers, etc... They're great. Echo and Toro also gets great marks in the commercial use market, but I've no experience with them.
jhawkr Contributing Member ********** ********* USA Final Four!	May 11th, 2012 04:45 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic My Stihl has a shoulder strap so all I have to do is balance it. No "rubber arms".
jtheissen Contributing Member ** Montana no hitch in my git along yet	May 11th, 2012 07:34 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Someday, you will have arms of .........or not.
RDR Contributing Member *** I tried to think but nothing happened!	May 11th, 2012 08:29 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Another top quality trimmer is Shindaiwa. I got one based on the prez of my hunt club report that he has been using one with a blade for 14 years to cut back trails. I got one with a blade and a string trimmer head. With the blade, it will easily whack thru a 1" sapling. String trimmer head easy to reload. Had to take that guard off, tho. Don't know how anyone could use with those on.
Chris Greene FDP Host Idaho, USA Charlie Don't Surf	May 11th, 2012 09:11 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Please don't misunderstand my post. The other brands are fine. It's just that in spite of the lighter weight of the Husqvarna and the effort I made to get the lightest, most ergonomic model, my arms still turn to rubber after using it for half and hour. I could put a strap on it but I'd lose the maneuverability I need.
Belgarath Contributing Member ******** Back of Beyond, FL	May 11th, 2012 09:33 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I've often thought of getting a quick adjust single point tactical sling for mine. I didn't like it for a carbine and traded mine away, but it might be just the ticket for a string trimmer. Something like this should adapt well
jtheissen Contributing Member ** Montana no hitch in my git along yet	May 11th, 2012 09:49 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic "I could put a strap on it but I'd lose the maneuverability I need." ..and look very stylish indeed!
jhawkr Contributing Member ********** ********* USA Final Four!	May 11th, 2012 11:17 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Single point tactical sling? I have the "Basic". Works great and you can spin your trimmer like ZZ Top! Straps
Belgarath Contributing Member ******** Back of Beyond, FL	May 11th, 2012 11:31 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Yeah j, but with mine you can be a lawn ninja! Seriously, the quick adjusting thing is the attraction. For ease of mobility. But really the plain ol' nylon web strap with a hook on each end that hook to a ring on the trimmer works fine for my needs.
