Echo 2622T is a hoss. Best I have.
Shindiawa ?? T is next (because dealer didn’t have any Echo’s in stock)
Stihl 94r (have 2 ) good but they’re not made like they used to be.
Stihl 131 Super strong and heavy but can handle any job.
Husqvarna 242 (handle bars) and 20 yrs old it’s a beast and you need the double shoulder harness to operate it.
These are professional models that I run with my lawn crews. These machines run 8-10 hrs per day every day. They have a 3 year warranty but after 3 yrs they’re shot running that hard.
My suggestion is purchase the most power (torque) at the lightest weight you’re comfortable with. A $150 machine is junk and will not last. Spend $300+ and you’ll never replace it. Only use pure gas. Never use ethanol gas, it will kill a small engine.
