| I'm just curious about which brand of gas-powered yard equipment, such as blowers, string trimmers, chainsaws, walk-behind lawn mowers, etc. is your favorite. Stihl used to be my favorite, but about five years ago, their quality went downhill very fast. Now, it's a tie between either Honda or Maruyama. I just finished replacing the carburetor in my neighbor's Honda string trimmer from 1995. It still starts on the first or second pull and runs like new. I've never used Maruyama equipment, but from what it sounds like, their quality is second to none and they still manufacture everything in Japan. I've heard Echo/Shindaiwa is excellent as well.

Rich, Coaster junkie!

| Most of our garden equipment at work is Stihl, but at home I won’t entertain anything that not electric! 😝, I’m not really a great lover of high revving, heavy, smokey noisy 2 stroke engines!
My neighbours lawn is half the size of mine, and he’s bought the biggest loudest petrol mower he could find! 😱, whereas my 1200 watt Mountfield does the same job flawlessly! 😎

| I agree that electric is good for smaller yards, but gas is the best for big yards. Ours is an acre and a third.

| Older briggs and Stratton mowers with the 35 classic type engines are brilliant mowers. I have owned different mowers with that type engine and they have always been amazing for me and if they have ever broken down it has been just a simple strip down and full clean of the carburettor, fuel tank and fuel filter, and oil change, then Fit it all back together and they have always ran beautifully afterwards. Best mowers out there and the chassis has always rotted out whilst the engines have still ran stunningly
As for my strimmer, i have 2 branded TITAN and i am having running issues with one of them that will start but just die.
The other one runs well ish bur cuts out mid cutting. But restarts instantly
Anyone know what i can do? Or able to give advice?

Yep! We've got a Cub Cadet LTX1046VT with a Briggs & Stratton V-twin that's served us well for the past 15 years. The only major problem was a snapped off deck wheel, but it runs just fine without it. |
