Yes there are! I have (well it actualy belongs to my girlfreind) a nice Honda 25ccm 4stroke trimmer/bruschcutter, that I bought for my girlfriend. Straight gas so no mixing for her and so easy to start I was truely shocked. Its not the power model but its great for her!! Around the garden either with blade or string as she likes.
I am a true beliver in 4stroke now.

Yep, nothing like a 4-stroke for starting. Nothing ambigous - they just start. The 4-mix is a true 4-stroke (by engine design, not gas mixing) and starts so well...

That's a load! lmao

What low end oil does Stihl and Husky have? They have XP, HP, HP Super, HP Ultra. They are all better than Echo, way better. There's documented facts showing test result comparisons. And yes, they were done by Stihl, but if there were any false information or doctoring, you can bet any of the OEM's listed on that test would be quick to file a lawsuit. None of them have, why? Because it's the truth! Even some Echo reps acknowledge this. Echo oil is JUNK! If you don't believe, then so be it. No lost sleep here.

flimflam, would have any links so I could check out the oil test you mentioned. I've switched oils a few times lately. I went from Husky XP to Amsoil Saber (mixed at 75:1) and now use Stihl HP Ultra.

I switched from the Husky HP oil for two reasons, 1- I wanted to use a full synthetic oil and 2- the smell got to me some times. The smell of the Amsoil Saber oil didn't bother me. I just couldn't get past the mix ratio. Amsoil recommends 100:1 to 80:1. I ran it a few times at 75:1. I just don't feel comfortable doing it. So far I like the Stihl oil.

nateskate, sorry for hi jacking your thread! I don't know a whole a lot about trimmers. We have a Husky 326LS. It's been great so far. A guy at our hunting camp has a Stihl. I can't remember what model it is. He's had it for a few years. I don't recall him ever having any problems with it. We got a pretty good deal on the Husky. I would of had no problem at all buying a Stihl trimmer though. Good luck!

Smart man.

For what it's worth, Home Depot carries a Cub Cadet 4 stroke trimmer that does not take mixed gas, but the quality is not very good from what I've seen.

I've learned to love the 4-mix on my BR-550 blower...

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. Pulled the trigger yesterday and got the fs90r. Smooooth. Also wanted to thank moderators for letting a thread on trimmers onto chainsaws.

Now, has anyone attached the little tiller to your stihl?

Bounces around some but it does work. Good for a small garden and flower bed.
