My trimmer is nicer than yours!

[wildroamer]

Mowers and More looked all sad and empty inside.

That old beast on the left has been destroying everything from blackberry bushes to sumac to 2" trees for decades, though hasn't been run in a couple years or so. Sachs Dolmar BC400.

The little Stihl on the right is my Dad's FS-38. OK for what it is. Definitely a home-owner, but handy for it's complete one-handed operation.

I love my little Dolmar MS-22C! This little thing really cranks, and I think is right around 9 pounds, fully gassed and wound with line! It's got a 1.3 cu in that smashes out .9 hp, but I'm thinking Randy can get it closer to one-five! What do you think? Might be able to wind it with piano wire, or maybe barbed, see what kind of trouble I can get into!

 

[wildroamer]

That's either new, or you are better than I at babying your tools!

 

[wildroamer]

That jolly old elf!

 

[P.M.P.]

Bought this new in 2006 I believe. Used it alot never had a single problem Knock on Wood

Still gotta brand new MS-22c in stock. Have a few BC330's & BC400's around too.

My favorite trimmer is the RedMax BCZ2400S.

Still looking for a Robin NBT415.

 

[wildroamer]

Wow, surprised to hear that you have a MS-22C! Have had mine quit a few yrs now.

I'll have to get some picks of my Stihl FR 350 back pack trimmer when I dig it out in the spring .
Google if you want to see a pic for now .

 

[wildroamer]

Wow, never seen such a unit. Looks comfy.

 

[Nitehawk55]

They are great for uneven ground such as hills , ditches and woods trails . Weight sits on your hips and all you are holding is the shaft so I can go for hours clearing large areas of weeds , brush and small trees without nearly the effort of the other types .
Stihl Canada brought in 50 units years back and unboxed 2 for shows . There was no interest so the other 48 were returned to Europe and the 2 display units sold to myself and a dealer not too far away from my location .

 

[Homelite410]

Who here has a Stihl SP200?

 

[wildroamer]

Wow, that's pretty cool. A branch shaker? Huh.

 

[Brian Simonseth]

Everyone laughed when I bought this one

But after 5 years it's still running and both neighbors are on there second weedeater

 

[wildroamer]

Looks brand new!

I like mine Redmax TR2350S 22cc 1.0 hp 9.5 lbs shaft drive non cat non strato.

 

[Brian Simonseth]

Looks brand new!

That's when it was brand new it sure doesn't look like that now

 

[jake wells]

worked on plenty of those most of the problems was fuel lines and the spark arrestor screens plugging in them.

 

[Novice]

Hey guys and gals, I have a weed-eater twist and edge I bought new in 1996. I know most think they are junk, but I have done nothing to it but replace the fuel lines and replaced a broken support handle in 2014. Use it every year and will until it just won't go any longer. When I was looking for the support in 2014, was told by a guy who sells Stihls, Weed-eaters won't last more than 3 or 4 years. Mine was 18 years old, and he said it must be the only good one ever made.

This is one of mine, a 2013 4 cycle Cub Cadet I got for free because the trigger was broken. Spent $1.67 on a new one and it cuts great.

 

[Guido Salvage]

Not a trimmer but a Shindaiwa Power Broom. I passed it on to Dexter Day last year.

 

[Cut4fun]

Not my pics.

I took a husky 322L in with a broken weld on the solid shaft. Guy didnt want to pay for new part and labor and just updated his.

So I bought the part and repaired it for my use.
