love my Stihl equipment. . .

To me standard trimming doesnt justify a bike bar trimmer which is actually sold as a brush cutter ..too big and bulky for hopping out of the truck and trimming around a few obstacles.. trust me ...every time you pull that big brushcutter out for a light trimming task you are going to hate it ..lol

Excellent! Thank u so much for the advice. Do you know if there is a longer shaft available? I'm so tall that trimmers hurt my lower back.

I agree. And usually if using bike bar you then need a strap or harness system to hold the thing up . Good for hours not minutes.
 
My push mower needs to be replaced before the Spring. I have a zero turn for most of my mowing but I need a push mower for small areas around the garden, pool and back porch. We had a Bolens that lasted us for 10 years. Any suggestions?

Maybe you could look at a good used Snapper on Craigslist or something. All the good new brands I would suggest are probably more than you would want to spend for a push mower since you have a ZTR for the larger areas.

From what I have been told. 4mix is all Stihl will have in the near future.

That's what the guy in the shop indicated to me also, Stihl in the near future would all be the 4mix. At this point they still have some 2 stoke stuff available but it probably wont last very long.
 
Some of the 2stroke stuff is gone as of 2013. Fs45, fs55, ms290. All gone after dealers run out. And they already have a fuel injected saw. I haven't got to run one yet.

I love fs55's and ms290's I run both. And that fuel injected saw just sounds like a nightmare. I know nothing about it so maybe it's not that bad.
