Picked up 2 6-packs of oil which doubled the warranty on each to 4 years a piece. $336 OTD Nice I have the same blower. It's about 10 years old.

smokin george Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have an Echo weedwacker/trimmer and its been pretty good. I needed a brushcutter and picked up the Stihl FS90 (straight shaft) with a saw blade and very happy with it. It"s amazing what the blade goes thru and with the amount of brush that I have to get rid of it was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieselgeek Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I spent some time looking at Stihl trimmers yesterday. I think I'm going to go with the kombi system. Probably going all out with the km 130r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxr1216 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 i picked up a FS 56 RCE a few weeks ago works nice. My 25 year old homelite i bought for $55 new finally bit the dust so it was time for a upgrade, hope the Stihl can last as long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to go pick up a new weed wacker today and eventually a leaf blower. Seems stihl gets great reviews. Looking at these 2 as I would like to stay under 200 max. Anyone have any input on these??? Does echo make decent stuff? No Edited May 23, 2016 by SmeeAgain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
