My Jonsred GR50 strimmer has died a death. It needs a new silencer, the strimmer cord autofeed is broken, yet sometimes it feeds out a couple of feet of cord, threatening my shins. You can’t get 5 minutes strimming done with out having to stop to adjust the cord. Basically I want something lighter and more modern.
However I want to be as capable, so the question is what petrol strimmer, 2hp/2kw, with a harness and cowhorn handle? My local shop only stocks strimmers up to 1.1kw. I think.
Obviously I could just go off and do some market research, but wondering if anyone has any first hand knowledge?
