My dad's had 2 Shindaiwas for 19 years or so - has 5 acres on a hill, lots
of blackberries. My husband's torn them apart and cleaned everything
probably for the 1st time just last fall; they're still going strong.
They're pricey, but good commercal-grade machines. Try getting one on eBay,
you could get a good deal. For the blackberries, we discovered a metal
blackberry blade; works wonders.

My 10 year old one won't start this morning so I'm looking far a good
reliable weed wacker. I need a good quality, perhaps a commercial one as
my needs are more than most home owners. 2 cycle or the new 4 cycle,
mixing oil is never a problem so what's the deal?

Ttroy-Bilt, Husqvarna, Makita, Tanaka, Echo, Stihl?
