Yard trimmer: Husqvarna VS Stihl?

18 years ago

My 10 year old Stihl FS36 trimmer has died. I'm looking at the Stihl FS45 ($140) or Husqvarna 124L ($180) as a replacement. Does anybody have any opinions on these trimmers? I will use it on a weekly basis during the summer around my 1/2 acre yard.

Thanks

If you go with the Husqvarna, at least go with the next model up the 125L. It's worth the 20 extra bucks. I love mine.

Your trimmer isn't the only thing that is 10 years older, might think about an FS55 with handlebars and harness. Much easier on the body and has a straight shaft which will allow you to use blade attachments also. Cost around 200 bucks but IMO it's worth it.
