2 cycle vs 4 cycle string trimmer ?

That's right the engines spin the other way and some have off set engines with a gear .

Bert- I've never seen that, even my Echo Dealer has never heard of those either.

Maybe cause you are 'down under' ?

I have pretty much switched from gas to battery for most trimming on my property. Makita's 36v (2-18v batteries) trims grass and weeds just as well as my gas models and is much quieter (no hearing protection needed), is lighter and requires no maintenance except for the occasional string replacement. The Makita is so much easier to use that the only time the gas models get fired up anymore is for heavy brush cutting (I'm on 5 acres).

I would have to carry 20 batteries to finish a days work. No thank you. That is right around $2000.00 every 300 days. Charge cycle is some where around that.

I wouldn't have one if you payed me to take it.

The last Stihl 4-cycle trimmer that I used, new 8 years ago, required mixed gas.

Mine Too.
