Echo builds a quality system like the kombi also, take a look at it

I like their system a lot, most say their pole saws are the best. But the problem to me with Echo is they only make a 21 cc and 25 cc power head, they used to have a 28cc and don’t make it anymore. Stihl has a 28, 31, and 36 cc.

I’m going to get the cultivator and pole saw, so I’d rather pay $75 more and not worry about a lack of power.

Eta: As far as price though, yeah Echo offers the 21cc with 2 attachments for $299. Which is $200 cheaper than you can get into the similar Stihl for and you can get the blower, edger, and trimmer for $399 total which would be almost half price as Stihl. Stihl is great but not twice the price nice. The other nice thing about Echo is Home Depot sells their stuff so when Joe’s lawn service isn’t open I can get some parts on Saturday or Sunday. I understand they are more geared to commercial guys but I’m not commercial.
