Speaking of Stihl String Trimmers, anyone here know this fellow on YouTube?



He's a riot!

Okay, I'm needing a new string trimmer and am looking into Stihl. But now I've got my head in a spin regarding 2-Cycle/2-Stroke and 4-Cycle/4-Stroke. Does Stihl make any 2-Cycle/2-Stroke String Trimmer these days? And in regards to these is what Matt (YouTube) states is true regarding said SE trimmers?

The FS 94 R looks to be a nice piece. Stratocharged 2-stroke should get the job done for you. There's lots more options in the stihl line up though.

What type of vegitation are you trimming and what is the terrain like? Are there lots of narrow bridges, boardwalks and rocky drops and water bars?

If it's mostly soft green vegetation, I prefer a walk behind mower type trimmer like the DR. It's faster and much less work than a hand held trimmer.
