    Anything Maruyama since Tanaka stopped production. Personally just not a fan of Stihl and never have been.

  • Echo or Honda, we use both and have given years of faultless service

  • is it not worth mending?  I've an FS130 and they're great machines though a bit heavy. 

    • I do like the fs131 it is a bit heavy high on the vibrations apart from that its great machine wasnt sure weather to get it again or is there a upgrade out to that model

  • I have narrowed it down to the fs 111r and the fs131r it will mainly  be used for fortnightly cuts and one of big jobs

    • If its not for any really heavy duty cuts, I'd recommend the fs94r.   Ive the fs130r as well but the fs94 is just so much lighter and easier to use , the 130r only gets used about  once a year if that.    My FS94 must be a good 6 years old and despite many hours work each week, still going strong with minimal problems.......  its also a fair bit quieter which is nice + a fair bit cheaper as well.  

      • Hi i end up getting a decent deal on the fs131 couldnt knock it back not as cheap as the fs94 rce that one actually looks quite a good buy 

        • Those 4-Mix engines certainly have a nice powerful sound to them.Mine always starts after just a few pulls even when its been standing for 6 months.  I read of people complaining about having to adjust the valves..................  as you probably know, its a 10 minute job once you've done it before and rteally only needs to be done once a year at the most. 

          • Thats the first i have heard of adjusting valves i have never had to do  it on my old fs131 need to keep a eye on that now am wondering if thats how my old fs131 stopped working

              4 mix need regular valve adjustments to work properly. Any decent mower repair shop can do them if you are not confident or don't have tools yourself.
