I already put away my weed eater for the year. It's time to start thinking about snow blowers.

Buying them is illegal, but a José or Juan is usually the best deal.

Stihl hands down. Its a great manufacture that is only sold through servicing dealers who can provide service work if anything were to ever happen, and 95% of what's sold in the United States is made in Virginia Beach here in the US. You can usually find a Stihl trimmer for the same price as a cheaper built trimmer at the box stores. For most homeowners, the FS56RCE fits most needs, if you have a lot of land you may look at the FS91R.

I got an echo srm225 and it really rips and runs. You can load new line in like 1 minute. That's all I know.

Wood-eater, I will go with Riley Reed. Earned several AVN nominations for that skill.

I've used nothing but Stihl trimmers, edgers, and blowers for the last 20+ years.

Fresh, stabilized gas with the best oil mix = profit.

I'll never buy another Stihl anything. My FS45 was really hard to start and went back to the dealer twice and was told it was fixed. No difference. Took it back for a third and was told warranty had expired and it now needed, along with tune up parts, a new carb. I replaced the carb myself using parts bought from Amazon, so they wouldn't make any money, and I'm pretty unimpressed with it. Using a Walmart special but will replace with an Echo.

Cover it in Vaseline. Shove it up your ***. Turn it on.

Use electric if you want to help the environment. Or enjoy cords.

Tanaka is best for commercial-grade equipment.

Willie Williams was a prolific weed eater.

There is iron in the last two sentences I shared.

Stihl.

And may i add to get a straight shaft. At least if you're tall. I made the mistake of buying a bent shaft and you have to stoop over much more to use it.
