Has anyone had experience with 4 cycle trimmers. How do they compare to the 2 cycle. Maintenance issues, etc. Recommend y/n?
Thanks
Paul

I have a 4 cycle weed trimmer and hedge trimmer made by Shindaiwa. I like them, these engine's have loads of torque when compared to a 2 cycle engine. They are a little heavier and do require more maintenance due to the valves, and depending upon which brand you are looking at, some may require 2 cycle engine oil mixed with the fuel.

Troy builts are heavier. 15 lbs, will wear your butt out.

Hondas are also heavy .....
