the old lady likes it and will get out there and do the weedeating.


My wife loves to cut grass….seriously gets pissed when I cut. We cut probably close to 5 acres with a Scag…unfortunately she doesn’t like to run a weedeater, and neither do I. No way she’d be able to start our Stihl weedeater, so OP is correct when he says that electric weedeaters are the way to go. I had one of the craftsman v60 that was amazing until it wasn’t.

Get a Stihl. Had one for 10 years and I have never had an issue cranking it.


I have also had good luck with the husqvarna 2 strokes mine is going on 15 yrs old and still running. Changed the carb and fuel lines out last year for less than $30

My Stihl is at least 10 yrs old. Runs great. Cranks reliably and has a ton of torque for heavier work. I grabbed an echo at a garage sale for $50 and cleaned it out and it also runs like a champ. It was totally gunned up from someone not changing the air filter. Not quite as powerful but it is VERY easy to start.

Yep. 12 yrs here and never had an issue. NoE gas as well. Same for the Stihl blower.
