I have a very old Stihl FS88 trimmer I've had for 18+ years but I wanted to get another 2 stroke trimmer to add to my collection. I went to my Stihl dealer and walked out with the FS94R and a 6 pack of Stihl Ultra oil.
I went home and started trimming up some broomsage and blackberry brambles growing in the ditch by my house. After I ran out of trimmer line, I spun on a Speed Feed 450 head and went back to trimming for a total of 2 hours.
The Speed Feed head makes this trimmer just about perfect in my opinion. It's so lightweight and I felt absolutely no vibration in my hands. It also has plenty of grunt for cutting tall grasses and weeds.
I definitely think it's worth the money if you want a very light weight commercial grade 2 stroke trimmer with a solid driveshaft. The downside is that it's $350.
