Good choice!
fwiw i have had a TBC300 bullhorned straight shaft unit for almost 13 years, 5 of which it did absolutely nothing however the past 6 it has been given a real workout on our acreage.
Starts second pull and has never let me down, still feels as powerful as the first time i used it. Its the best bit of yard machinery i have got. Will be buying a second one shortly, something a little smaller and lighter for 'her indoors'.
