Re: Need a \"weed eater \"
Bought a Stihl FS85R (loop handle) earlier this year. So far haven't been able to bog it down. It starts perfectly, seems to have plenty of power, and it handles all of Stihl's attachments. Seems a little thirsty compared to the older, low-end models I've used, but then I'm frequently pushing it through heavier weeds/brush the others wouldn't have cut. Very satisfied.
