Honda makes a good one with a 4 stroke motor for $400. But they're hard to find.



Bristoe,
The Hondas are nice but heavy. I purchased an Echo SRM-410U. It's a 42.7cc 2-stroke. You still need to wear a harness but it takes no prisoners when that blade starts spinning. Add a carbide blade or a chisel tooth blade similar to a chainsaw and look out. You certainly don't want to trip when using it.
