Honda umk 425 LE, have two used commercially for over 25 years, never repaired, still going as good as new around £350
I use Stihl kombi km130r I have two machines one is 10yrs old the other 7yrs, I've had the straight shaft strimmer attachment for 14yrs all still going strong. Them engine's have more than enough grunt.
I service, maintain and repair all my machines. I have long realized how silly it is to bin machines just because of the cost of labour and parts at the dealer, making it cheaper to by New. Just a waste of perfectly good machine.
I've been using a Sharp strimmer( Mitsubishi 27cc engine ) its used everyday, when its was newer going on 20years ago its was used to cut monthly lawn cuts when we did contract work for the council ( awfully jobs glad I don't so them now ) its had a rough life but still going , it had new carb last year . Its never really serviced just clean the air filter and spark plug and its good to go.
The equivlent now is the Danarm VS256S - TLE27 they cost Around £300 -350 , its has a decent guard on as well which doesn't get in the way.
