Doc That was actually something I'd been meaning to look into. I inherited a 2 cycle weed whacker, the string breaks constantly though and I have to keep stopping and manually feeding out more strings. ARRGHH!!! |

Have you looked at those heads (Home Depot) that you just insert cut lengths of line in? I haven't tried one "yet" but the idea sure sounds better than fighting a spool. RM~ |

I have a Echo SRM-2200, and it has been working great for over 15 years. Seventeen years, I think. I believe I replaced the sparkplug on it once. The bump-feed string head on it works good too (.095 line.) Bob |

RM~ Forget about the string-feed trimmers. Get one of those gasoline-powered amputators with a skilsaw blade on the end. |

It works great for cutting wet overgrown grass that would clog a lawnmower. -Bob |

Really? Is there even such a thing? (I'm too lazy to google it right
now). I am just envisioning my lawnmower engine on the end of a trimmer shaft. Way too heavy. Plus, don't 4 cyl engines need to stay relatively horizontal? How would that work with a string trimmer? |

OK - I did google it and found a surprising number of 4cyl options.
