    Default Any garden equipment retailers/professional users here?

    I am looking for a new brush cutter. I am thinking of a Husqvarna 535RXT, but someone has suggested looking at Echo, due to the 5 year warranty. I am guessing the equivalent model is the SRM350?

    I have about half an acre of woodland to clear, which takes me 3 to 4 hours. I do this about once a month. I need something fairly robust, as it has to last. I normally use an Airecut 300mm tri-blade, so I need a bit of power.

    Anybody have any experience with Echo?

    I'm not a 'professional' but I do employ professional gardeners and tree surgeons and they all use Stihl equipment. I've never seen them use anything else and I have several pieces of Stihl myself, which I am very pleased with.

    The only thing that puts me of Stihl is the spare parts support/availability outside of service centres.
    I am pretty competent mechanically, and begrudge paying someone else to fix something I can do myself.

    There is no doubting they are quality machines, like Echo and Husqvarna.
