Thread: Petrol Hedge trimmers

I haven't had brush cutters but have had a bit with whipper snippers.

I bought a Talon whipper snipper from BigW and it lasted 8 years, no servicing, no parts worked perfectly until the pull chord mechanism that springs the chord back in for another pull started getting dodgy. But even my brother in law who's a die hard stihl man, for his landscaping business was very suprised the $100 Talon lasted so long.

When I went to replace it, only a month ago, Stihl had a sale on and I got a petrol stihl for $250 and it great. The el-cheapo's are still $150+ in stores so I thought the $250 for the stihl was a good buy.

It does have a knack to starting it, but once you know that, it works perfect.

I liked the idea of a battery powered one but I have a rather large block so went for the semi commercial petrol one.

And another thing... I bought my dad a 2nd stihl chain saw for fathers day 10 years ago and he reckons it's the best present he over got. The chainsaw would have to be 10-15 years old but was reconditioned by stihl in Port Macquarie and I bought it from them, and it goes a treat.
