My trimmer is nicer than yours!

[sld961]

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.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye on the gear box.

Old school awesomeness. Both have cut lots of brush with only carb kits.

232R - one carb kit and one trimmer head is all I have done to it in 10 years.

Muff modded (de-catted) my 326. It's been remarkably tough/reliable. It changes tune noticeably with temperature, but I pulled the limiters, and it tunes easily. The husky heads have offered me no trouble, but using the 095 ugly line has made a big improvement over the husky line.

One trimmer head in 10 years? You are in weedeating heaven. I totally wear out a Husky head every year just on my property. I've never worn out a Stihl head....yet.

The FS88 is almost 21 years old and running strong. The others are fairly new.

FS90r and KM110r for me, with the tiller and hedge trimmer attachments. Will need to find the pictures that I took later...

Edit: Found the pictures.

I don't think I have any pictures of the FS90r though...

Echo srm 200ce Jake showed me his 210ae and I wanted his but he traded it before I could get it. I found this one under the junk trailer at the local dealer, it was going for scrap. Bought a parts powerhead off the bay stole the ignition module off of it and she now runs great. New carb kit and a speed feed head. I also put an updated top handle off an echo 225 on it. It's so light and almost no vibes.

Got a Husky 525LS this week. When I brought it home I did a cat bypass muff mod/ spark screen removal, took off the guard, and installed a Speed Feed 375 on it. This trimmer sounds like a serious piece of equipment and flat out rips. I prefer this over the Stihl FS94R.

a husqvarna trimmer will be out next year to replace the 223l called the 322l it will weight the same but will have the same plastics as the 500 series trimmers out but will have a x torq engine instead of the e tech II engine.

I 'm glad you can run with out a guard because i get covered head to toe in grass and rocks if i don't use one.

I would never run mine without a guard, them rocks to the shins hurt.Still get hit every now and then by something.

I can't stand the guard, you can't cut around anything. I just wear glasses and man up. Lol

get poison ivy and oak on your face and see how manly you are,

Yup, manning up has nothing to do with it. Kinda like playing with rattlesnakes, sooner or later it's gonna bite you. just a matter of where and how bad.

This is a red max I bought in 2011. Actually bought two. Once you get the carb dialed in right, I am hooked. Bought the husqvarna version and sold it after one year, just to get one more new red max.

Try a piece of rebar coming at you when grinding a stump if you think little rocks do damage.
