I have a Honda bent shaft model, now over 6yrs old and still goes like new with plenty of power.
Being 4 stroke along with the mower makes the fuel situation easy.

We have an echo and it has given no trouble at all and I would recommend it. My wife is the main user of that machine. My son had a Honda and it was better again, but more expensive. Honda may be the Rolls Royce of brushcutters. I am a little prejudiced against Stihl after a really bad experience with their FS80 (about 30 years ago!) It was a dog. They are probably better today.

I've had the Honda multi system with brushcutter http://powerequipment.honda.com.au/VersaTool_Range and pole pruner for two years, great piece of kit, but a touch heavy when using extension pole. Mine is the 25cc, shedloads of power and always easy to start.
I have a Honda 4 stroke, straight shaft brushcutter.
Bought it along with a Honda lawn mower about 12 years ago. Both have been faultless. As mentioned they might be a bit more expensive but both have been worth it in the long run.

I have one of these as well,got a good deal when my brother owned a Stihl dealership.Quote:
