    Think it is down to personal preference, we use Stihl & Husqvarna, husky definitely lower vibes but it is a newer machine.
  • think the stihl equivalent which I was also looking at would be the fs 94 which does have 2/3 times the vibes of the husky, price/power/weight wise theres not much between them leaning towards the husky purely because much lower vibration levels, had looked at similar specked echo to but its a kg heavier than other 2, similar vibes to the stihl and theres not quite as many dealers nearby so that's out the running

  • got my own 535rx brushcutter and had plenty of use with the bigger 545rx and find them both excellent, have used the stihl fs310(4mix) in past and had no end of trouble with starting and cutting out etc, personally i prefer the husqvarnas and the vibes and response of the machines are excellent,

    Stihl 2 mix is Husky X torq apparently so mechanically they should be the same.

    I have both. Low vibes on husky, dead easy to start, light to use, easy to maintain, nice bit f kit. Stihl bit more manly, reliable, easy to maintain, feels stronger, more vibes than husky. Personal fav.....husky (today although it may change tomorrow) to be honest it really is six of one half dozen of the other.
  • ive got a stihl fs 460-c cant fault it

  • currently using a stihl strimmer myself would have to say its best 1 ive ever had but vibration levels not safe for professional use, looked through whole stihl line up and there isn't 1 loop handled strimmer which is! vib levels more acceptable with bike handled models but its a loop handled 1 i prefer to use
