Billybop replied to Mjc's discussion Strimmer question

"yes there's several different Ego spools, some may (or may not) fit more than 1 model of machine, never tried a Powerload one myself, I also have a very old Honda 56V strimmer, which was basically a clone of an early brushless motor Ego, still going…"

Ian Harvey replied to Mjc's discussion Strimmer question

"The one thing that you need to be aware of is that the bump cap tends to wear fairly fast (well I went through one in 2 seasons, using it everyday). Annoyingly at that time you couldn't buy the cap on its own- you have to buy the whole head. Now…"

Mjc replied to Mjc's discussion Strimmer question

"Hi, useful info thank you. It's the 1400 I'm looking at as I just need a small strimmer for lawn edges and small jobs, I already have a echo petrol. Thank you."

Ian Harvey replied to Mjc's discussion Strimmer question

"I used a petrol strimmer for a good few years, before buying an Ego ST1400. I found it brilliant- very controllable, and with 2mm line less prone to gravel flick etc. It did take a couple of weeks to get used to it rotating the other way, mainly…"

Billybop replied to Mjc's discussion Strimmer question

"hi I find in practice it's barely noticeable, the splatter is largely ejected the opposite way that's all, maybe walking along the edge the other direction than I would strim with an anti-clockwise one. For finer lawn edges I find my Ego STX4500 too…"

Strimmer question

Good morning all. I've always used strimmers that spin anti clockwise, just been looking at purchasing a ego strimmer for whizzing around lawn edges and I've seen that they spin clockwise. Have any of you used both and found that it was easy to get…

Honey Badger replied to Andrew Betteridge's discussion Price of Aspen October 2026.

"I love seeing a fridge full of milk.
I use the semi skimmed for running down machines for storage. The full fat i use for storage and occasional use machines like my wacker or tiller."

Graham Taylor replied to Andrew Betteridge's discussion Price of Aspen October 2026.

"I've only used Aspen (and the Stihl Motomix) on my Stihl stuff that doesn't get used much...... I've a chainsaw and a 40" HS86t which only gets used about once a year. Expensive but the machines will often start first pull after standing for…"

Andrew replied to Tim Bucknall's discussion Which brand of brushcutter?

"Tend to stick with the Stihl large brushcutters or more often the 40 cc Clearing saw.They are blooody heavy tho-the mtronic tech is really impressive tbf.
For anything under that I use a makita 40v strimmer with a folding cowhorn handlebar which is…"

Andrew Betteridge replied to Andrew Betteridge's discussion Price of Aspen October 2026.

"It seems that in Norway the cost is around £4.73 per litre of Aspen versus £1.96 per litre for petrol road fuel, so it looks like Aspen is around two and a half times the price of petrol in Norway versus more than three and a half times the cost in…"
