Middle age is well upon me.
My trusty Jonsered GR50 beast of a strimmer/brushcutter is deid*. Multiple issues. Time for a new strimmer.
Now the equivalent strimmer is £700-£800. I want to spent half of that or less. So I’m not expecting the equivalent. But two handles and the ability to hang it off a harness would be good. Still petrol, of course, anything else is for girls. Unless you can get a diesel strimmer. That would be cool.
Recommendations based on first hand experience appreciated.
*Deid = Scottish mispelling of dead. Been chucking out oil for years, probably running rich. Been stalling when hot for years, carb setup again. Messing about with carb has made things worse. Trigger handle broken and held on by gaffertape. Baffle missing from exhaust. Automatic cord trimmer broken so can feed out cord until it is two foot long and lacerating your shins.
