[QUOTE="ccm, post: 392055, member: 13447"] Due to the rain this year & my work schedule my yard/pasture has become an overgrown nightmare. My craftsman 33cc trimmer/brush cutter is just not up to the task of cutting through the thick vegetation, small mesquite, & black locusts thorn trees. I've been looking at getting either a Stihl FS 240 with it's 37.7cc engine or an Echo SRM 410U with it's 42.7cc engine. The Stihl 240 is a little over $600 & the Echo is about $580. What I'm looking for is longevity in the machine that I choose to buy. There are servicing dealers for whichever one I choose so that isn't an issue. I have found lots of reviews for the Stihl but very few for Echo. I would like more power but I'm a little uneasy about pulling the trigger on the Echo due to this. If anyone has any experience with either echo or stihl products good or bad I would like hear about your experience. Thanks in advance from ccm. [/QUOTE]
