Morning y'all. Before all I did was my lawn. Now I do several lawns. And now my equipment is starting to breakdown. In y'alls opinion what brand of trimmer, edger, blower and chain saw should I be looking at? Some say Stihl, some say Husqvarna and some say Echo.

Lawn care business tips
Welcome to our forum!

The first thing to consider is are you looking for commercial or consumer equipment?

Commercial equipment can last 10x plus over consumer units.

Have you looked around on craigslist? Maybe you could find some used commercial grade equipment?

I think it boils down to the dealer on the commercial side, who is local that is good and what do they sell. I probably have 20 pieces of Stihl commercial equipment, never an issue but I bought it because the John Deere dealer treats me so well.
