Stihl Grass Trimmer
Original Message Jun 25, 2005 5:38 pm |

I was shopping for a new gas trimmer and I have narrowed the search to a Stihl Model FS 45C with what they call "Easy 2 Start". It seems to be a good unit and the dealer has been in business for years (not a big box store). Unit is $169 which seems reasonable when compared to other gas trimmers. I already have a Stihl leaf blower that works just fine. Does anyone in the forum have experience with this or a similar model?

My Stihl calls for 50:1; my Ryobi had been 32:1
That's good to know. A Stihl is on my short list when it comes time to replace my old Sears electric trimmer, and 50:1 mix with 89 octane is the same mix I use for my Toro snowblower.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I purchased the Stihl 45C and it is a joy to use. Starts real easy and boy does it chew up the weeds. The bonus was a $20 rebate.
