re: Any specific type/brand of weed eater you like?

Kawasaki after having echo and others. You will be more than happy if you purchase one!

Still running a 1989 Shindaiwa. A bush hog on a stick

Older shindaiwa equipment can't be beat. Have two 261 trimmers and two eb630 backpack blowers that run perfect.

Bought an echo 266t trimmer last year and already had to replace the carb. Going to check out some stihls this week. But do have an older echo 260 that still runs strong.

I own a lawn care company. Redmax is the best. It is the lightest and has the bigest fuel tank. They are hard to cold start but they are the longest lastibg i have had and i have all the rest.

Also what I roll with , best weed eater I have owned ....

I've ran all brands of trimmers in my 13 years of lawn service. The best was Robin. They out performed Stihl, Echo, Shindawa.

Stihl. I've have very few issues with their equipment, parts are readily available and reasonably priced.

I don't have a large yard, so I have an Oregon (battery powered). I was really surprised how well it does.

Have you ever run a little Seafoam through with your gas?

Yes all the time and still have issues. I also never buy any ethanol gas.

Weed eaters were invented by the devil. Most frustrating piece of machinery I've ever dealt with. If it won't crank, it runs like shite, or the string is fricked up.

They all kinda suck thanks the CARB compliant requirements who brought us those piece of shite gas cans. They set them up to run to lean from the factory to reduce emissions. I like my 2 stroke engine running wide arse open and spewing enough smoke to kill every mosquito within a 2 block radius
