Honda brushcutter

[hedgesparrow]

well my trusted Honda brushcutter head went the other day. new head £120. yes you will all say buy a sthil. now what is a bit anoying is its only 14 months old my last one lasted nearly10 years befor giving up now its out of warrenty. but spoke to dealer as i though my fault not greased the head but there sealed for life. spoke to Honda got to give them serial numbers and wil look into it in the meantime no brushcutter.

looks as if next one will be a sthil or husky. but there heads are now sealed and can not grease. will theres go the same way dry up and seize

We use echo brush cutters and can't fault them used most days through out the summer 2 years on and not one problem. Also they have lots of low down power so no need for full throttle on everything unlike the husky brush cutter we have. Also really good on fuel. But I think they have sealed heads also but don't hold me on that one
