Welcome to Lawnsite. First I would do a search. Personally I use a Tanaka TBC-2510 . The Tanaka is a great trimmer for what I use it for. I bought it in the fall and it has just been all positive so for. Might wanna try a Redmax, Shindaiwa, or a Stihl. A lot of people around here run them and they are workhorses.

i run all shindaiwa trimmers and have for some time but if i had to pick another it would be stihl and/or husky, in that order.

We use Shindaiwa t-230's. Light and powerful, great all around trimmers.

first off the T230 is really not a great commercial trimmer. Get some T270's and be done with it. It seems like everyone carries shindaiwa so parts are easy to get if you happen to need them. I have tried the other brands like the echo SRM2601's and when i finally switched to shindaiwa I felt like trmming wasn't as bad anymore. The 270 has more than enough power and wont kill you with it's weight. So, dont make a mistake buy a shindaiwa

I have a stihl FS 80 and FS 85. Lightweight, easy to load trimmer head, little vibration, and lots of power. I am a very satisfied customer.

Echo SRM2400's have worked very well for me, without any problems.:D

My dad has a 225 Husky. I loved it, straight shaft, powerful, snappy. I bought a 325 Husky straight shaft, and I hated it, way too heavy, NO power. I sold it to a friend that likes it.
Now I run ALL Redmax. I wouldn't buy anything else as long as I am satisfied. I would look at Shindawa if I were to start hating Redmax. But I don't see that happening any time soon.

Haile,
What are you doing with a Husky 322L?
I thought you bought a 325LX and were happy with it.
What gives?

Turn your caps off.

I use the Honda UMK431 4 Stroke trimmers and I like them a lot. They are a little heavier than other trimmers I have owned but they have plenty of power, very dependable and easy to start. They usually cost $329.00 per trimmer.
