dull and the shredder blade would help mulch the cuttings. Besides the negative refill factor of string line trimming, I've got the notion that a sharp blade will cut grass cleaner than line. Reminds me of the Pacific NW, but it's dry here and I'll be cutting tall mountain grass with the odd sucker. I did Youtube the shredder blade and saw a Husky video brushcutting. just plotting for happiness over the long run.
Given that, there is no restriction to tilting the loop handle, and the bike handles really only work to tilt until one arm goes straight. What it seemed is that for steep embankments a good body position is sideways to your cut, and tilt the trimmer to the angle of the slope as you walk across. We concurred that the auto-feeding SuperCut head is better for me than the tap head because I won't have a good place to tap or want to make a bald spot in the grass while trimming. for the steep embankments I have the D-loop is probably better and I can just get by with the line trimmer.

Then we both messed around with the harness, he looked at the lot photo and in the end we went full circle. Told him that I liked the idea of a metal mulching blade, tried to show him the phone pic of my lot, and he said the lot won't matter because if I wanted a metal blade the standard answer they are trained to give is go with bike handles. I was able to stop by the dealer last night to size up the two handles. I always planned on a double harness to go with any new trimmer. I've also bought at my local dealer and like balancing bargain hunting with the mutual support with the dealer. As DIY'er, I like getting a nice tool that can last for 20 years, and y'all have steered me well in the past year, with saw that hums and some saw pants. Well she sometimes likes to clean the stones and the outside vases around the house with the string! Really whips them clean if you don't have high power water pressure close by! :cool2:Įdit: I forgot to mention that the d loop is really the toy. let's hope she doesn't come here! ) in the garden. My wife loves the D loop when working around the garden, but I cut the perimetre (3/4 acre at her parents, 3/4 acre at my grandparents house and 4 acres forest at my grandparents house) of the house in the same time with the bike handle as she is playing around(did I just say play.ssshhhhh. I also have an excellent harness for my d loop because it makes working so much nicer. That doesn't mean that you can't do either work with either setup. Since you can see where I'm from, I can tell you that I prefer the bike handles on any slop all day long! And when it gets real steep I strap crampons to my climbing boots. The d loop is to me more of a surgical scalpel, the bike handle is more for open ground / large areas.
I will not make that offer, however, if the serial number comes up bad. If you can prove that the trimmer is not stolen and you do not like the bike handles, I might swap you the loop stuff from my personal 250. The theft ring that hit all of the Stihl dealers in this area last spring is back to it, and there is plenty of stolen stuff floating around. While a pair of new 250's in the box for $450 would be the screaming deal of the century, if they are stolen it would not. Anyway, there is no such thing as ONE FS-250 in a box.
So the "no warranty" story does not add up. If it is leftover stock from a closed dealer, it can still be registered by you and carry the appropriate warranty. There is absolutely no reason for there to be a 250 for sale new in box. At first glance, I was thinking "why is he not on his way to go get that trimmer right now?" I went to get a burger for dinner, and having thought about for a few minutes I will say this:
