Hello to all AS. Just wanted to share with everyone how well the FS-250 has been doing.
Since Sandy came thru the area where I live and work it has been an ongoing task to get all things back in order. Some here know I work for a gas company and have somewhere around 50 miles or so of offroad I travel daily. With that said when we started clearing we cut just enough to get our trucks thru to our well and compressor sites. Time was very important because when something is not running thousands of dollars can be lost each hour.
I've been using my pole saw attachment on the trimmer and along with various saws have been going back over my roads clearing them compleatly this time around. I've used over 20 gal. of fuel mixed at 32:1 with Stihl Ultra thru the trimmer and I believe its still getting stronger. I'm thinkin' it uses almost twice the fuel as it did stock, or close to it, but its well worth it. You just can't bog the thing down!
When I sent the thing to Stumpy, 10 years of hard use had took its toll. Looking to get another 10.
Thanks and God bless you Stumpy!!!
