    Well I wanted to see a head to head on these trimmers and found nothing so....
    I did one my self pinning the "processional grade" Milwaukee m18 fueled String trimmer against 2 oh Husqvarna best offerings. The professional 536lilx and the 525rx .
    Enjoy the very long video but I doubt anyone will show the real world uses we put these through.

    Interesting. I just decided after my last session with the old FS36 that it needs to go. Too heavy and way too many vibes. Have other m18 things around here but from the quick search I did I'd be looking at almost 400 for bare tool up here. Yikes. Also have a kombi head i could use. Guess I need to hit a store and check em out.

    My Stihl 460c is ridiculously strong! That thing will run 4 strands of .155 line download-1.jpg

    Your weed looks like bird hok, throws spiny seeds that are a PITA to get out of long hair dogs.
