Alpina brand Brushcutters & Chainsaws
g'day M,
never heard of them until now. italian made so i can't offer much of an opinion, they could be the best thing in the world or the worst dunno. just check up on parts supply if you buy one they certainly aren't built as a cheapy, and also servicing of the machines ie.,. do they require specific knowledge?? talk to the people who use them if you see an arborist or anyone with one. my initial advice would be to stick with the tried and true ie husquvarna, stihl, shidaiwa etc.,.

Hi Thanks for the input, i appreciate it! I in fact have seen a fleet of these Alpina yellow units being abused [used] by Fawkner Cemetary, so i thought if these guys are running them, and hard, they gota be ok I actually spoke to the worker using it, and he said they have been bulletproof, the funny thing is all 3 of those exact brands u mentioned below where tested over 6 months and failed, they could not hack it, the Stihl was worse, then the Shin and the Husky was better but not a patch on the Alpina, so he said, they purchased 35 Alpina and will buy them again every 12 months as per the budget that they have to use. Once again thanks! M my initial advice would be to stick with the tried and true ie husquvarna, stihl, shidaiwa etc.,.
