    I have a large garden, most of it not landscaped yet, high grass, weeds, briars.

    Thinking of getting a petrol strimmer. I'm new to this, would I be right in going for a 28cc or 35cc for a large domestic site ?

    Looking at Tanaka, Stihl, Husqvarna, Active, anybody got any comments on these ?

    Anybody got a Draper ?

    Anybody tried the new Husqvarna 36v battery one ?

    Go for a 35cc and look at my other post on strimmers for more detail.

    Hope this helps.

    The Jonsered looks a bit better than Tanaka, online anyway.

    I also saw Echo, but more expensive than the Jonsered and Tanaka.

    I also saw a 4 stroke Honda, do these have timing belts ?
