I prefer ECHO, but I second 4 strokes. Tons of RPM's, and no more mixing.

did not know where to post this.
i have alot of structures at my place in town and the farm. i have recently had a couple of the homeowner brand weedeaters- weed eater and riobi brands - they are not "cutting it" and my neighbor can get them to stay running (carburation).
i need to go back to the weedeaters that receive at least .095 string and have the shoulder harness and bike handle bars preferrred.
brands i am going to look at are shindaiwa, honda, redmax -
any experiences or advice. i have tractor and bushhog. need to get around the structures- don't want to kill my back and need durability.
thanks all,
michelle

It comes with the string trimming attachment and I bought the brushcutting blade attachment for the heavy stuff. This machine has been absolutely fabulous. I have cut 3" diameter trees with the blade and use .155 string for the other weeds, vines, and brush. I have tried the .95 size line, and it it too light for my use. Echo also has a chain saw attachment for trimming trees.
This has been a great tool for me, and I recommend the Echo line. Check out Echo's website for dealers close to you.
