I'm tired of nursing along my 10 year old Homelite string trimmer. The
plastic choke rod broke last summer and you can't buy another one without
buying a whole carb. Yea I could probably make one, but....

Would like to hear about your experiences with any models of the brands I
mentioned above. Or if there is another brand you think I should look at
feel free.

Thanks
Lane

I recommend Echo string trimmers. I mow 5 township cemeteries, and use a
trimmer to trim around all the monuments (gravestones). I use a John Deere
trimmer, (which is an Echo that's been private labeled) that is about 6
years old, and has literally hundreds of hours on it. It's on its third
string spool, but the engine still starts and runs like a new one. This
trimmer gets more use in one season than most home trimmers do in their
lifetime. Like Timex, it "takes a licking and keeps on ticking".
