I got a new 25.4 cc 2-stroke power head from ECHO and was using it today. I did not expect it to be as powerful as it is. It's the PAS-2620 model and it has a modular attachment system. I was using the string trimmer attachment with it and it was obliterating everything in its path with ease. It's super fun to use, I'm going to play with it some more tomorrow. Coming from a 4-stroke Craftsman, the ECHO somehow feels more powerful than that. And the string is much more durable, I don't know why that is.Not to sound like a shill, I guess the downsides are it's pretty expensive and with 2-stroke you have to mix 2-stroke oil with gasoline. Which isn't too bad and if you factor in that you can use the power head with all sorts of attachments it might save you money compared to buying a bunch of different dedicated non-modular power equipment. It's super powerful so you get what you pay for I guess. Can't wait to use it some more.Anyway, what power equipment have you anons been using?
I've liked the Sthil Kombisystem on an KM 131. So far I've not been disappointed.
>>2995667i just gave my kombi 111 and 4 attachments away because that 4 mix pos fucker never ran right even with a new $125 genuine kraut carbit was too heavy for a weedeater. the hedge trimmer and edger were awkward as shit. and the broom was gutless
>>2995671>4 stroke engine for a lawn attachment.I have no idea what Sthil was thinking
>>2995667>KM 131>36.3cc gas-powered KombiMotor delivering 1.9 HPHoly crap that thing must be a beast. Interesting design that it has a 4-stroke engine but lubricated like a 2-stroke.
>>2995672Craftsman has a 4 stroke engine for lawn attachments. It's honestly not bad. You just have to pour in ethanol-free gas as needed. Routine oil changes which is as easy as tilting the unit into a pan and then pouring a few ounces of SAE 30 oil in it. It's pretty powerful and gets the job done.
>>2995671>4 mix pos fucker never ran right even with a new $125 genuine kraut carbWhat was it doing? Do you use ethanol-free gas? Because gas with ethanol will gum up the carburetor. Same bullshit happens with walk behind mowers. I've been using ethanol-free gas and have never had problems since. Before that I would have to clean out the carb bowl often which was tedious. Ethanol gas just ain't worth it.
