Buy! i wish there was a dealer closer, the close one went out of business and now the next closest one was almost 2hrs away and i couldnt do that. I have had the smaller trimmer for 7 years now and i replaced the head on it last year and this year i put a new guard and rings in it. Its held up great for what its gone through. I also have the MS multi cutter system i dont use that all the time, just for spring clean up and hedge trimming, power broom, pole saw, edger.
