Need a new trimmer!

[lawn mower fanatic]

...The Guys that run the Echo are the Guys that everyone talks about that load everything in the back of their Toyota pickups, not that that's a bad thing because their guys that are trying to work...

I know a lawn care business owner that runs Echos and he has a Ford Super Duty dump truck, along with another truck (NOT a Toyota), and also an enclosed trailer (similar to the below pictures).

If we are talking commercial trimmers Tanaka, Shindaiwa, Kawasaki's....Redmax.....they are some awesome trimmers. We were talking about home use as the poster asked about. Stihl does make a nice trimmer , if you don't drive a Toyota , I guess. :smile:

A nice long lasting trimmer for home use - not a lawn service commercial grade trimmer. Tanaka owns almost all of them anyway if you want to get down to brass tacks. But they are 600-700.00 beans. No Toyota Truck owner would spring for that - blasphemy!

Not that you should only base it off of this, but Tanaka has the best warranty around--7 year homeoowner. :thumbsup:

Very few company's around here run stihl and they are not running out of a back of a truck senske here has close to 25 trucks with 25 trailers all they run are echo.

Selkirk has 4 trucks with trailers all run echo.
Greenleaf has 5 trucks with trailers all echo

I could continue with so many more including myself and I have a beautiful nissan titan with a nice trailer.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with driving a toyota! i drive one when i need to carry my rider or im clearing leaves. i drive a 4.0 98 jeep cherokee when i have a regular job. and there is a mix between all the companies. alot of guys use echo, and alot of people use stihl. i applied for a job at a landscaping company that ran ALL husqvarna stuff. (even their mowers).

I say use whatever trimmer fits your needs.

I use what I like you use what you like he uses what he likes she uses what she likes but only what I use is the only good one OMG.

There is no way we will find out what trimmer is the best for everyone to use.

What is wrong with a Toyota truck? Did I miss something?
No I do not have a Toyota

If I paid $700 for a trimmer it better start it self every time I look at it

(( cowboy up and get over it ))

You wore out an echo in one season. WOW- You must have gotten two lemons.

Yeah In one season they both the Echo's bit the dust and how could they be lemons when everyone says and claims there the best thing going and how did Hitachi get in the mix, I'm sure not owning one of there trimmers.
