[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 4056628, member: 10690"] That’s pretty slick looking. I’ve got two 2 strokes. One older Stihl and a newer Echo. Stihl got to where it wouldn’t start if you primed or choked it, and if it ever died you were done weedeating until tomorrow. Took it to my guy, bought the Echo and kept on keeping on. I just grab which ever one I’m closer to when it’s time. Both are great. Echo is a lot easier to restring. It winds up. Pretty slick. I don’t think a battery would cut it for me out here, but I used one with a cord for years when I lived in town. If I ever move back to town I’d consider a battery operated one, but when I do imma be too old to cut my own grass, and the nursing home would probably frown on me weed wacking the petunias. Never heard of a 4 stroke weed eater. I don’t know about all that. I’ve got so many 2 stroke engines it’s not a problem for me to mix gas. I already keep 4 or 5 1 gal cans mixed up. What’s supposed to be the benefit other than not having to mix gas? Edit at add - you guys running those saw blades on weed eaters are some tough dudes. The stihl came with a blade and a different cover. I tried it one time and swore that off forever. I think I’ve still got the blade & hood around here somewhere, or I might have thrown it away. Don’t remember. Don’t matter. I don’t need it. [/QUOTE]
