Stihl FS 56. Just finally finished my trimming. Put a new line on & away I went, LOL.
My lot is 1.34 acres. The back 1/3 ac. is in trees & rocks. Can't mow all of it, so the Stihl gets a work out ( including me ).

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

My Honda trimmer arrive yesterday all assembled and just added the oil to the engine and filled with gas. Runs really smooth and quiet and cut thru the weeds really well. Went out this morning and gave it one primer bulb hit and fired right up first pull with no choke needed...sweet!

It's not as heavy to me as I have read and I ran it about 1/2 an hour yesterday so looks like it will do the jobs very well with no feed issues yet from the line head...just rev it up and tap the head. Have a brush cutting blade kit coming soon.
