I'm just getting into the world of decent equipment. After buying 5 acres of woods that I'm planning on building on I have purchased a Stihl farm boss and a Stihl FS90 trimmer. These are not for every day professional use I just knew I wanted something other than the throw away equipment at the big box stores.
Anyway what I'm looking for now is a harness for my trimmer. All that came with it is the cheap strap. It's not very comfortable for use any longer than 10-15 minutes. What kind of harness do you recommend and where to buy. I've been looking online and have seen Husqvarna's standard harness which is about $40-45 dollars but it does not look too impressive. Their Balance XT Pro harness looks pretty nice and is about $70. I'm open to any brand and I don't want to spend any more than necessary but I want something comfortable.
As far as blades I have been using Stihls 3 tooth blade on some heavy briars. I have been reading about some of the blades that have a turned down curve on the ends that do some mulching as well as cutting. Any others you might recommend?
Where do you buy from? Do you stick with one online retailer or do you spread your money around?
