Original Message May 2, 2005 6:37 am

i need to replace a ryobi string trimmer that no longer starts...........

would like to buy something i could use a brush cutter blade on 'bout once a month...............

i have a Stihl dealer 'bout 1/2 mile away , probably going to shop there over the week-end...................

any advise on size engine, 2 cycle or 4 , or anybody have a model that they use in tough conditions ?.....................

it would be used for trimming primarily , but needs to cut brush 'bout an inch thick .............

TIA,

bill

Dancing with a machine? Hmmm, let me think about this? Ah, I think I would look like a complete idiot if I was dancing with a machine LOL
