I want to buy a string trimmer (gas) for my husband for Christmas. I don't really know much about them. My dad has an Echo SRM 260S and loves it, but he has 20 acres to trim. We have a small suburban yard, but plan to have more land eventually. I want to get him something good that will last for a long time, but I'd like to keep it as close to $200 as possible. I need recommendations on brands and features! I've been told that Echo and Stihl are the best, but they both have so many options! How many cc's? 2 or 4 cylinder? straight shaft or curved? Please help!
