Grass Trimmers - what do you have

[puckhoggy 0]

So our household just bought a new gas-powered grass trimmer since our previous one finally went ka-put.

I have the Echo GT-200R and now that I am setting it up I realized it doesn't have the bump feed and I am pretty pissed since I know how much the bump feed is better that stringing in line like I have to do with this new trimmer.

So before, I begin use on this trimmer, I wanted some input on what is out there and what you use. I read good reviews on the one I now have, but purely hate the fact it isn't a bump feed.

My landscapers use Husqvarna trimmers and seem to like them quite a bit. I used Echo back in the day and dreaded it every time.

When I worked landscaping I used a Craftsman... could be a pain to start when cold but other than that it worked fine.

Echo 210. I never touch the thing without safety glasses and just about always wear pants unless I'm doing something really light. Couldn't be happier.

Anyone ever use that one that's on the Infomercials? I forget what it's called.

The Worx GT? I just wonder how you wind up the rubber band to get it to run.

I've been using a Troy Bilt for the past 3 years now and it has honestly been fantastic. Takes that attachments such as a tree trimmer and roto tiller (which I have both) which for most homeowners lawn/tree grooming needs it does great. Also, mine is a 4 stroke engine, so there is no need for mixing 2 cycle engine oil and I have to say that I feel that this is what makes the trimmer to easy to start, even after being left idle for 5 months at a time.

I ended up buying a homelite for $70 at the cheapo depot. Much better than the old Ryobi. Since I'm only using it at home it was a good buy. Starts easy, etc...but runs through gas like crazy.

Since my yard isn't so big I just went with a bargain Black & Decker Grass Hog. Does the job just fine.

Buy what most pros use and only spend the coin once; Stihl. FS90 for me. Can't beat it.
