Help picking new trimmer

[timswi]

I've had a Husky straight shaft for about 5 years and have done noting to it except feed it string and gas. Plig and filter are original. I beat that thing senseless everyweek.

As was said, handle both the straigt shaft and the curved shaft. I will never buy another cuved shaft again. They just don't work as well for me. Fit a very limited amount of pute grass trimming, they are fine. But if you have to mow down hight weeds etc, you can't beat a straight shaft...Just my opinion.

True the Stihl and Echo make vatastic machines...I've been eyeing those up lately in case mine eventually lays an egg.

I bought a used husky off ebay that was from a commerical landscaping place. Its a streight shaft. The trimmer is a beast and I have used it for the last 4 years. Its all about the string you use. If you can get thicker line in it use it, it will really last.
