Recommend a Brush cutter

[Stubby]

Can only recommend what I have ....Husqvarna 545RX . Had 2 of these ( 345RX before ) Worked very hard and the 545RX is sill going strong now .

Me too looking ! My hursqarna left me 2 week ago and there is no possibility to buy a new. All advice Stihl .. But what to do .I want to risk and choose a budget model. I hope it will work a couple of years.Sure I m not going to get a battery-powered trimmer couse I have about 1/2 of an acre and its imposible for that

If its worth anything, my circumstances took a change and I went for a fs70 with cow horn handles. Impressed so far.

FS300 and a smaller FS56 for small gardens

So you replaced the Echo with a Stihl and wish you hadn't ?

I replaced a Stihl FS85 with an Echo SRM300 - chalk and cheese. The Echo is much lighter, much smoother and yes more gutsy. Sweet machines.

Since the OP has already purchased I'll just make some comments for other people looking..

 

Bought a Stihl FS90 cow horn model years ago, as below this model you don't get a solid drive shaft.

 

Love the quiet and gutsy 4-mix engine. A true delight to use.

 

However I also bought a much larger Kawasaki brushcutter which is a lot more powerful and feels more aggressive.

 

I now have added a smaller Kawasaki loop handle jobbed for light weight versatility.

 

The Echo seems worth a try by the comments above.

My bad no I had a 460 before replaced with a 520 echo and the echo feels like a much better machine , also have a 420 echo which is just as good as the 520

Kinda thought that's what you meant
