Any of you guys use the combo trimmer tools for yard work?

Will be my first lawn equipment I buy... been in a condo for a while. I'm looking into the combo trimmers and of course there are several to choose from. I know that echo, stihl and husqvarna are the better brands. The yard isn't too big and I don't think I will need to use of 3 or 4 separate tools. I looked at a few at the big box places and HD has echo and Lowes has Husqvarna. Stihl is just too damn expensive right now, I am moving and renting a home for now until i can one to buy so I don't want to drop a ton of money at this moment. There is an echo with a (21.5cc) engine, should that be sufficient for what I would need?

Get an echo straight shaft "weed-eater" and a separate walk behind edger. None of this interchangable bullshite.

I like the combo rigs. I have most all of the attachments including a tiller and a hedge trimmer. I seem to go through a power head about every two years but, they have a lot of hours on them considering how many things I use it for. I prefer Troy Built. They are strong and cheap enough that if it fails, you just replace it and don't worry about having to try and repair it.
Ethanol free gas will greatly extend it's lifespan.

The Stihl Combi system stuff works very well. The bush trimmer is a beast. I have string, edger and bus trimmer.

I've been very happy with my Echo yard tools that I've had the last 15 years.
My place in TX has a 2 acre yard with lots of landscaping and bushes, and the Echos have held up well, even with laborers using and abusing the tools.

I had a combo system once and was not impressed. Now I have a good mower, top of the line weedeater, and a chainsaw. There isn't much you can't maintain with those 3 things.

I have an ECHO the has the trimmer, edger, and blower attachments...use them all.

The combo edger will work your arse, I gave mine away.
I love the brush cutter, hedge trimmer and pole saw attachments. I used the pole saw to cut up the majority of two oak trees that fell during Gustav. I burned the Ryobi power head up.

I use the Stihl Kombi motor setup too. KM55R with straight shaft trimmer and straight shaft edger. Plenty of power and light weight and the attachments are locked on with a clamp instead of the crappy spring-button Troy-bilt uses.
