gregc,

If you are looking at a lightweight machine I would go for the Tanaka excellent machine.

The shindaiwa machine is heavier but also is excellent.

The Echo has a bit of weight to it the same as the shindaiwa but also an excellent machine.

Forget weedeater,homelite mtd Jonseredand mcculloch as you will not be happy after using a Sthil but with the others Echo,Tanaka & Shindaiwa they will be better than the Sthil.

Regards,

Bruce
