Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I have heard good things about Stihl but honestly ive had Echos for years that have run for longer than i worked there...the Echo that i used when i worked for him was 7+ years old ran almost everyday in the summer and then when winter rolled around we didnt do a thing to them but hang them up and they always worked next summer
My Feedback

Just an addendum to my earlier post.
Understand that these machines were not treated kindly. They are used daily during the season trimming highway right of way. Imagine all of the neat stuff they encountered, bottles, scrap metal, concrete, guardrail etc. We actually would mount circular saw blades to them to cut heavy growth like Acocia plants (tumbleweeds) and sucker growth.
The Stihls were the only ones that would last, even the string heads would last a year at least. The Redmax and Shindaiwa ones would explode if you hit concrete or a bottle.
Not the Stihl.

wow...Excellent input fellas, thank you greatly.
SS Bob - Thank you for the kind offer, very cool. I've resigned myself to NIB on this thing though.

my work here is complete.
Stihl is what I have and I like it just fine.
That's Allright, just be sure to inspect it closely first to to make sure it hasn't been fired before.
I have gotten a PM for wanting sloppy seconds if you didn't want it.
A neighbor does small engine work for a living, the RedMax are good and he suggests buying from these folks:
