ent! Stihl jed...yuh doh lissen to de FT farfan commercial or wuh lol

seriously...I bought one about 3 weeks ago...the 250...old man can't take pushing lawn mower and even though its early days, that thing working like a boss.

did my research and so much people said go for the stihl. plus FT farfan does service and I think for the next 6mths or so they offering free service, just pay for parts.

PM me for the sales manager's info or check their website.

shindiawa> all

so so far stihl and shindiawa

[cacasplat3]

where u getting husqvarna? and are u getting after sales service?

its more common to see them in europe........its more widely known for chainsaws..........

BTW.......there are ppl here who have never heard of husqvarna.........powered garden tools, guns or motorcycles........so opinions of the brand will vary........

HUSQVARNA is an excellent brand dat may last/survive alot longer dan the STIHL but the STIHL is cheaper to maintain bro

Stihl. Had one since 1992- 93 and only december 2009 it has given up the ghost. And it was one that worked more often than many... never called for parts other than a filter and a magneto.

If you're getting a STIHL, recommend the FS160... unless you're gonna be doing heavier work. Only drawback is that Farfan seem to be having trouble with parts for them... but still don't let it discourage you.

Looking to purchase either a Stihl or Husqvarna leaf blower and wacker.Which would u recommend now?Are parts more readily available for the Husqvarna?

[3stagevtec]

Have a Stihl FS160 for 3 years now and it runs at least once a month for average use around my property / lawn. No issues to mention

[supercharged turbo]

So far almost everyone saying to go with Stihl

[88sins]

go with the stihl
cheaper, easier to find, could take licks, lasts years & parts/service easier to source

[Ted_v2]

stihl ONE time,

got mines almost 6 years now, fs 85, comes with blade + string so its a nice machine.

farfan also has all parts for them so thats good, very reasonably priced

HUSQVARNA if you want to cut some serious bush

[supercharged turbo]

Is ah lil bit of bush,nothing big.I see more people buying the Husqvarna now but still no reviews on availability of parts and longevity.I saw a refurbished one online for a great price so i want to know more bout the Husqvarna from locals.

Echo is also a good reputable brand.....they manufacture the shindiawa as well......
no complaints with my ECHO 4600 (Biggest size).....$3500 with blade, string head, qt oil, safety glasses, harness and 1 lb string
