Default Power pruner brand recommendation??

Know of a good one?



I bought the Stihl HT 75 a while back. It's pricey, real pricey.
$550. But it does a terrific job. I really wish I would have bit the
bullet earlier and bought one a few years ago.

Echo's is also a great machine, but in my area there is only one Echo
dealer and there are three Stihl dealers, so I feel I have better
support if I need a part, repair, or something goes wrong.

Also looked at the Husky, which is $50 cheaper, but the Husky/Stihl
dealer told me that he would take the Stihl over the Husky (he also
recommends Husky brushcutters over Stihl brushcutters and he says it's
a "wash" between Husky and Stihl saws).

So, I would say Stihl or Echo.

If you do get one, pay the extra and get the top of the line. You'll
get better reach and more power.
