My trimmer is nicer than yours!

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!

Wow the sacs has a roll cage

I bought a new Stihl FS100RX in April 2011. Finally went to put a carb kit in it last year, and a new carb was $4 more than a kit. Lol. So I put a new carb on it. Oh, and wore out one bump feed head. Other than that, it's been dead nutz reliable. My next one will be a Redmax though...

sup chris, those trimmer heads are awesome and are a direct fit on a 326ls i recommend the speedfeed 400 for yours.

$30 at Home Depot. Thanks Jake.

Turning that hidden screw you told me about on my Redmax edger really helped the bog off idle.

They're a bit heavy, no?

I do like the concept though...

I used the auto-cut 25-2 head, at least I think that's what's on there...

Started my Stihl on the third pull today first start of the season

I have this one that I bought at Tractor Supply when we moved into the house. It's a real dog as it comes straight from the store. It could use a muff mod and retune, but I haven't taken the time to do it yet. I need to buy a d-shaped carb tool first.

Stihl KM-130R with brush cutter, speed feed head and power sweep. This was when I bought new last year. About ready to get the power sweep out for getting the gravel out of the yard from plowing.

Yep, 4 mix.

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 .

i have always wanted to work on one of them

 

[Simondo]

Yep, 4 mix.

Did a service on one the other week..Torque is good on them.

 

[jake wells]

they sound funny though.

First time I thought a muffler was loose and blowing !

They're definitely a different machine than a 2 stoke. It takes some getting used to. It almost has too much power, but I got the biggest so I didn't end up wanting more power for some attachment down the road.

A very wise move…the one i did was for a landscaper so was used commercially. The power is exelent on a grass/scrub blade and will run the sweep you have without the need to run it flat out with its Torque. Its nice on a long reach hedge trimmer ..But.. be- where ! the gearbox takes a pounding with the Toque so needs good Lytham grease in it and changing now and again is a smart move giving the opportunity to spot the start of any failure early.
