[QUOTE="Conquistador3, post: 6086484, member: 141078"] My advice is pretty simple. Unless you can go and personally test the brushcutter, don't buy it. Just look at the chainsaw forum to see the surprises that may pop up. Stihl 4-Mix are possibly the worst engines to buy used because they need to be well maintained to be reliable and fixing them when they break down is expensive. If you are itching for a four stroke, I would advise buying a Honda. They may not have nuclear power but are blunt-instrument reliable, the only true weak point of those UMK brushcutters is the recoil starter, which is surprisingly cheap to buy OE. Otherwise keep an eye on whatever is available locally: Echo, Shindaiwa, Redmax/Zenoah, Stihl two strokes... no need to needlessly complicate your life. [/QUOTE]
