A goat? Seriously, have you thought of going electric?  Less problems that gas, quieter (your neighbors will thank you) and more environmentaly friendly. Then again, so is the goat! Chris

Response:

The best ones are Shindaiwa followed by Echo, Stihl, and Husqvarna. Don’t let gas go stale in any of them or they won’t "start and run". – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >PLEASE can someone in this group recommend a WEED WACKER that will start and >run? >rosie

I had 3 gas trimmers here at home and returned 3 of htem before I found one I liked.  The Craftsman from Sears shook so bad and was so unbalanced my hands were numb after 8 minutes of trimming.  The manager at the Sears store recommended the WeedEater brand over the Craftsman for less vibration.  The regular Weedeater Featherlite with the curved shaft was too short for me to trim in an upright position. The Weed Eater Featherlite SST straight shafter trimmer is what I’ve decided to keep.  It’s quite very powerful, well-balanced, very light, has a dual feed head which (to my surprise) makes a big difference in trimming speed/balance, and is long enough for me to trim without stooping down.

I recently purchased the Featherlite "Plus"… runs fine, lightweight, but there is just something about the design that makes it awkward to use. To hold it at the proper angle for trimming, my inner forearm is resting on the engine cover. Not hot, but still….. But it trims well, and starts within a pull or two.
