Rated 4 out of 5 by My Back is KILLING ME! I'm a big guy at 6'1" and I've run a pro lawncare/landscape biz for more than 20 years. I've known forever that the lightest trimmer is the one that will give the smoothest, most even cut - the professional cut. But those light trimmers are just not made for a guy my height and age. They're for the young dudes. So I bought this trimmer because of my aching back. It has taken some getting used to because it is a heavier unit. For me, achieving that really manicured look has been somewhat difficult. I feel like I've had to relearn somewhat but one needs to remember that the quality of the cut that I would expect is much more than what many homeowners would want. The harness actually restricts many of the movements we take for granted with the really light units. But the trade-offs are worth it. Now, I can stand up and let my shoulders take the weight of the trimmer. It feels like heaven! And with practice, the quality of my work is back up where I need it to be. The biggest surprise though, has been in those areas where we cannot get our machines in to mow and have to do large areas with only the trimmers. One property has a number of creeks/ditches and we have to wade into the water to take down the growth at basically water height. WOW, this is THE machine to have in this application. It cuts so well and is so powerful that I can just do the entire job instead of waiting for my guys to join in like I used to do when I used a smaller trimmer. Love it! June 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great for homeowner with large property Usually starts up on first or second pull, I love the handlebars and harness they let you work much longer without getting tired. Seems to have plenty of power, overall I'm happy with the purchase. Not impressed with the manual though, I had to search Stihl's website to figure out how to change the line when I ran out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bike handle makes the difference! I always used echo trimmers, but the most recent one was a hard starter. I decided to switch and went with stihl because of the local dealer and reputation. All I can say is thank you. I went with the bike handle because of lower back pain (especially with a normal trimmer handle) and could not be more relieved. I actually look forward to weed eating. Starts every time, and the different blades I can put on make this model worth the money for a farm owner. June 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Powerful brush cutter I have the trimmer set up with a chipping blade and bike handles and it is a very safe efficient brush cutter. I am using it to cut trails on my property and keep bush down. June 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by The right tool for the job The trimmer starts on the first or second pull. The starting procedure was a little tricky at first, but after a few uses the step-up is a snap. I do not like the cord trimmers so I had my trimmer modified and had the plastic blade head (STIHL PolyCut™ Head) installed. I also, like the fact that I knew my trimmer worked and all of the parts were there before I left the store because the STIHL technician assembles and test runs the product. The bicycle handles are a great feature and I don’t have to lean over to trim. The handles were easy to switch from right-handed to left-landed. It takes a little practice to get use to the bicycle handles, but I love them because once the harness is adjusted properly you are standing straight instead of leaning over to trim (saves the back). The only complaint is the harness that comes with the product is not comfortable to ware for extended periods of time. I have a lot of yard trimming so I probably use a trimmer four (4) times longer than the normal use for most homeowners. I bought the Double Standard Harness and the feel is great. May 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 Works great but the manual doesn't tell you how to load the head with trimmer line. Works great, but the manual doesn't tell you how to load the trimmer head with line. May 11, 2013
