I'm interested in buying a gas powered lawn edger. Any strong opinions or
experience with these? I'm leaning toward either the Stihl FC75 or the John
Deere model.

thanks,

Carl

Give some thought to the STIHL Kombi System. It has an edger attachment and
can also be used as a trimmer, pole saw and hedge trimmer. Got a Best Buy
last year and has both homeowner & pro engines.
I have one and it is great. Opt for the pro version and spend a few $ more.
It will give you more power in the cut.

I had a Stihl several years ago that wore out after two seasons. I don't
remember the model #, but it was similar to the FS75. I took it to a repair
shop and was told the cylinder sleeve was worn and it wasn't worth
repairing. I had always heard Stihl makes good products. It may just be my
bad luck. I now have an Echo 2400SB with trimmer and edger attachments.
I've had it for 8 years and it still runs as good today as it did when I
first bought it. I have 1/2 acre and I use the Echo extensively each summer
weekend. The only problem I have with it is it's a little hard to change
attachments sometimes, but I've heard they have that problem fixed with the
newer models.
