Husqvarna 24.5cc 2-Cycle Straight Shaft Trimmer

Just bought the Husqvarna 223L. I have 4+ acres to trim around that includes woods, wetlands, water retention area, and more. I have gone through several weed whackers in the past including Echo, WeedEater, and Cub Cadet. This Husqvarna is a beast! Started on the 2nd pull right out of the box. Nothing stopped this thing. I ran it wide open for an hour and it never hesitated. You can't clog the head on this thing. I've got cattails that would stop most whackers- not this one. It went thru them like they were grass. This thing doesn't cut weeds, it slays them! Very impressed thus far, even with the stock line head. It does get warm on the top of the machine, which is directly underneath the users' arm but I rigged up a sling to avoid this. This machine cut my trim time down from 4 hours to 1.5 hours!
