I've no experience with this make, however it looks like they brought the rights to the old Allen/Dolmar designs, not bad machines but they are not Echo machines either, someone on here may own a Maruyarma machine though and be able to give direct advice.
My local dealer is stocking this and has good things to say about it. They stocked and sold Tanaka for many, many years till quality took a hit and Tanaka disappeared off the market completely.
On my list to see next week as I need one/possibly two new strimmers for upcoming contracts as my faithful Tanakas are now beyond economic repair.
Will keep you posted in the coming weeks
Shindaiwa are the same as Echo, don't think Maruyama are. That said, i've only heard good things about Maruyama though have no experience of them myself.
Stephen, we had one, basically good machine let down by patchy dealer network and spares availability. We prefer the Honda or Makita four strokes. We have two Hondas that have done over 25 years hard work, Mountfield now sell Honda engined strimmers look fantastic just bought a 35cc one for £469 Inc vat, very pleased. Hope that helps.
I'm in a predicament as I use to get the fs 50s as you can speed load the lines, apparently you can only get the heads for that machine but I go through the machines too fast , the echo did a speed load reel , but the Honda's he's showing me you have to wind manually, that's just too slow for me
Can't you just replace the head?
Apparently not in the stihl?
We were given a maruyama mx36 2 stroke cow horn strimmer by a customer last year, myself or the repair shop could not get it running right, ended up selling it on eBay for £90, the customer had paid nearly £500 a couple of years previously! We normally use the Honda 4strokes for general purpose with oregon lightning heads, been pretty much trouble free!
I've been using Maruyama strimmers for years and like them a lot. Rarely have issues with them.
