Disappointing News From the Land of Stihl

[Jack D.]

Jack D. had the opportunity to demo the new 4Mix Blower & could not see much difference in power over an Echo 750. The unit was, however, very quiet and not as bulky as expected. There will be two versions, a Quiet Blow, for Hospital Zones and Rich Folk areas and a Let Her Rip model which incorperates more Omph.

Also in the works is a 4Mix Trimmer w/the weight of a FS85, using a hollow shaft, that will only accept string heads.

RedMax is still King.

Speaking of Stihl, have you had occassion to use the Yard Boss and any of it's attachments. I saw one set up today with the broom head on it.
