Hello can anyone recommend a petrol strimmer or brushcutter that is
easy to start and strong enough to cope with a wild garden of hip high
weeds (we are talking groundelder here) and lots of bramble and
undergrowth. Need to keep cut back for kids. I am a not particluarly
strong woman but have managed a petrol strimmer with a harness
comfortably enough in the past. Starting is my main problem.

Also what is the difference between a strimmer and a brushcutter? Was
thinking about a Honda? Any thoughts?

Many thanks.

Smee,

Echo is very easy to start. Also reliable. IMHO it has replaced Stihl as
the professionals choice. (Stihl is better for chainsaws, though).

I've had an Echo for about 5 years, never a problem, always starts the
first pull. Imagine Honda is also good kit.

The good news is that ground elder is very easy to clean up with a good
strimmer!
