 String Trimmers

Stihl FS45,46

The FS45 for 'normal' height people (?) and the FS46 is for taller individuals. Same engine and head.

The other variation available is Stihl's new EasyStart ©. This makes starting the engine extremely easy for those who do not have full strength or mobility of their arm/hand. You can pull the starter rope as slow or fast as you like.

Easy to feed spool: Just stick the line in, and then wind it in.  No tools, and no buttons. The only thing easier is Roundup!

 

. FS 45 Trimmer
Stihl FS90, 100, 110, 130 4 mix engine

This engine is now used on a variety of Stihl models, because of it's high torque, quietness, reliability, and of course, politically correctness in the area of CARB emissions.

The 4 mix engine is really a 4 stroke engine that runs on 2 stroke fuel. Since it has no oil reservoir, it does not matter what angle you turn the engine (just like a 2-stroke). 

Unlike a 2 stroke, it is very torquey at low RPM's and throughout the throttle range. That makes these machines absolutely wonderful for blades! The engine does not have to wind out to get power, so that makes it less annoying, and better on fuel!  Plus... they are CARB certified.

 

FS 110 Trimmer/Brushcutter
Stihl Kombi Units

The STIHL KombiSystem is a family of multi-task tools used on a STIHL Kombi-Motor (KM) powerhead. They offer great flexibility for occasional users, semi-professionals and professionals for tasks such as hedge trimming, edging, pruning, cleaning and cultivating, and more attachments are being developed. This system not only saves on storage and transportation space, it allows for significant cost savings as well. Here is just a sampling of what is available...
BC Mini Cultivator AttachmentFCS Straight Lawn Edger Attachment
KW STIHL PowerSweep AttachmentHL 135° Hedge Trimmer Attachment
FS Grass Blade AttachmentHT Pole Pruner Attachment

KM55,90,110,130 models available

If you want the power, Stihl has the machine. 4 base models to choose from.

Stihl has given this whole process a lot of thought. All the attachments, and all the power heads, and even all the extended reach pole saw and hedge trimmer all share the same size handle tube and drive line. This makes interchangeability super simple!

Redmax Stratocharge

 

Redmax has what is a clean burn with a special 2 barrel carburetor, in a engine called Stratocharged

This process also helps fuel to go further as well. All good!

Our commercial cutters love these machines because of reliability and great prices. Their new cushion on the grips feel mighty fine too!

If you want simplicity, yet reliability, Redmax is the way to go.

 

 
Our thoughts:  For economics, any of the brands will work. But for brushcutting, we prefer Stihl's clutch (on their straight, solid drive shaft) because it holds up VERY well. For pro landscaper use, we sell many Redmax and Stihl.
