Stihl FS 38 any good?

For a big residential user, I have 10 acres and mow 5, would this be enough trimmer? I have 2 now a Ryobi I have and a Cub Cadet that I just dislike. I am retired and have better thing to do with my time than work on trimmers. I spend more time fiddling with these two than I do trimming. I am thinking of up grading to a ZTR and my do the trimmer too. Less time mowing.

Great idea, I would suggest you do some equipment research online and read reviews. Make sure you try out ZTR before purchasing from dealer and let them give you some pointers.

No it is not enough and you do not want a bent shaft weed-eater, the FS90 is your starting point and if you want or will need to use a blade for briars, saplings, etc go with the FS110
