Does anyone have any experience with the newer 4 cycle weed whackers/trimmers/eaters/et al????? Was looking at Ryobi 4-cycle at Home Depot reasonably priced but cautious/leary as two relatively new Echo two cycles with lower hours have both died sudden deaths. Local Echo repair shop says gasoline related causes burnt cylinder wall. So considering 4 cycle but would still entertain 2 cycle is there is a better option out there. I keep hearing Schindawa but for the cost not sure I understand why it is supposed to be so superior. Any ideas? Read through all the search and previous comments already. Looking again more specifically at 4-cycle perhaps and especially since EPA standards will require 4 cycle soon anyway. Thanks.
