Default Equipment quailty and what to buy?

Well hello I hope everyone is having a great evening. I am in the the process of researching equipment for when I start my business next season. I am curious if you guys know if any of the RedMax equipment is good. I have my eye on a handheld blower by them. I do like the echo trimmers but if RedMax had any better that would be sweet. I am also wondering if the Toro TimeMaster series is better than the Honda Commercial grade walk behinds. Or if they are just the same. If any of you fellas know what and what not to get that would be great. But hers is what I have been thinking so far.

Thanks, Matt.

RedMax HB281 Blower
ECHO 21.2 cc Gas Stick Edger
ECHO 2 Cycle 21.2 cc Straight Shaft Gas Trimmer
Honda or Toro Mower

Lawn care business tips
Go with Redmax and Honda.

If your just starting out I would get whatever I found the best deal on. I would also not get a handheld. Its useless with leaves. Find a back pack and the bigger the better.

I would go with all Stihl products. If you have any problems with them, you can find parts easier and warantees last longer. Honda mower over the Toro.
