I stopped at the local dealer to look for a replacement for my 12 y/o Honda 431 Brush cutter/trimmer. Among the choices were a new 35 cc Honda and the Stihl line up.
As I discussed options with the dealer, he showed me the FS 250 & the FS 310.
He stated that the FS 310 & up models have the improved anti-vibration isolation over the FS 250. Some of you have the FS 250 as I have read from past posts.
What is your opinion between the two model lines? The FS 250 has more power than the FS 310 per the specs. The dealer did not have any units to demo.
Also, I am replacing a 20+ y/o Jonsered chain saw and and looking at the MS 261/MS362 models. I will be using the 20" bar and believe that the MS 362 has the extra power to run that size bar/chain. Any comments?
I have a Stihl BG85 blower & TS 400 cut-off saw, which have been solid performing units.
Thanks:
