Tall grass Weed Wackers??

[Wing Nut]

Is weed wackers OK to talk about here? I have a old one needs replaced. 31cc engine. Can't seem to find one bigger than 28-29cc. How much power am I losing? Tried a Weed Eater brand before, 25cc and wasn't happy at all. Live in country and get some tall stuff. Any advice? Thanks!!!

Take a look at Echo, just bought a new one last year and if I try to use at full throttle I rip up everything. Depending on model, you can even attach a brush saw for the really big weeds.

Try Stihl Trimmers if you're looking for larger engine size and more power. Echo's largest Trimmer engine is the SRM 280 @28.1cc

FS 100 RX 31.4 cc (1.9 cu. in.)

FS 110 R 31.4 cc (1.9 cu. in.)

FS 110 31.4 cc (1.9 cu. in.)

FS 130 R 36.3 cc (2.2 cu. in.)

FS 250 R 40.2 cc (2.45 cu. in.)

FS 310 36.3 cc (2.2 cu. in.)

I just bought a Craftsman 31cc on sale 109.00.

We sell both Echo and Stihl and even though Stihl has a larger engine the Echo produces more torque.

Hows it working for you? Like? Prefer to stay away from Sears Kenmore. Was it on sale at K mart?

What Echo model do you recommend? Prices?

Wing nut, There's a very good article @ popular mechanics about they're recommendations. I know they can be bias but it'll give you some idea at least.

My 2cents:

HI Alll

I have a craftsman 32 cc bushwhacker trimmer with attachment and it has pretty good power i live on a acreage and we get some tall grass to and works ok. Last year i left some old gas in it over the winter and had to replace the carburettor:licking: but now works very good.Can put a blade to trim small trees off that works ok just don't try to cut very big trees off it will smoke you saw blade.:licking:

Take a look at a home owners RedMax trimmer. I currently have a Stihl but after buying a RedMax blower a RedMax trimmer will be the next trimmer I buy. The blower is light, powerful and very easy to start. I would expect the same from the trimmer. A friend of mine swears by his RedMax trimmer and loves the ease of respooling. Good luck with your choice.
