I'm looking at buying a brush cutter and was not expecting to see a 4 stroke engine as a option.
Husqvarna only have 1 x 4 stroke in their line up and from what I can tell they use a Honda engine with their branded trim over it. The engine gets a lot of praise for power and reliability. They also have one electric brush cutter but I'm not keen on that myself.
Stihl are running a 4-mix engine. That's also new to me, it's a 4 stroke but you use 2 stoke fuel in it.
I'm intrigued by the Husky 4 stroke. It does weigh in a bit more than a 2 stoke but I won't be using it long enough each time to bother me, plus a harness should help with that.
Being able to run on standard fuel is a plus, as is the lower noise level.
The higher retail price does need to be justified.
Does anyone have a 4 stroke or 4-mix brush cutter and what is your view on them.
