I'm replacing my 265's as they die, going back to Stihl.
The power units are good but I hate the echo trimmer heads.

I'm the same with the new echos great power but flimsy heads. I find they need greasing constantly not sure where it disappears to but I've never had a hedge trimmer I need to grease so much

Stihl single sided hs87t with the longer 40 inch blades, nice finish, good on fuel, although I've worn the blades after 18 months from not always being bothered to get the rough cut machine out the van for thicker cuts, best to save the hs87t for just facing up, will have to tickle it with the grinder

Have you seen or used one of the new Stihl heads? If you can get one atm. 

Not yet, i've still got three of the old style heads that will hopefully carry on for a while as i have little faith in any of Stihl's updates.
