4 stroke weed eaters?
Anyone try one of these yet? Would be nice just to have one gas can around

I have recently gotten a Honda and I'd say the jury is still out.
My first impressions are that it: starts easy, it's reativley quiet, has a less annoying tone, heavy, lacks power and is expensive. It's the beginning of the season so I have only used it for about an hour. I think it has less power but I'm not sure I'm just not used to the 4 stroke power curve versus a 2 stroke.

I have a 4 stroke and I've been satisified with the engine. I'm not satisfied with other parts of it, but that's not what you asked.

My thoughts exactly, I COULD have gotten a 4 cycle when I bought a new weeder last year..... but I like 2 cycles better on a trimmer. They are lighter, and basically have the same power.... I don't find it hard to remember to put the oil in the gas either...

I've got the 31cc Honda, 1.5hp. I find it a bit heavier than others, but not too bad. It starts easily,runs quiet & has enough TORQUE to mow anything I've tried. This will be my 3rd summer with it & I'll never own another 2 stroker. Just my 2 pennies Roger
