brushcutter/trimmer
Hello All,
This is my 1st post so hello and here goes, been in the building and landscaping game since i left school, it's going well but i find my frequency of garden work is increasing so i'm going to invest in some new tools, have been looking into bruch cutters and trimmers so what do you think of these: HUSQVARNA 327RJx - Brushcutters to begin with, will purchase a bigger one eventually but only doing light work at the moment, also: HUSQVARNA 123HD65x - Hedge trimmers what do you think? thanks in advance, good site, learnt lots already Ollie |

Hi mate it'll surprise you how much the lightweight one will come out when the steep embankments come your way .

Re: brushcutter/trimmer
Ollie, they're brilliant. We're switching to Husqvarna now after becoming disillusioned with the offerings from Stihl over the past few years.

Re: brushcutter/trimmer
I have the 323r11 which is a great lite weight machine but have just bought a Kawasaki machine on special offer and so far I've been well impressed by it so could be one to think about

The thing is Echo trounces the lot of it. No comparison.
