  • I just picked up the FS -70 rc-e for $335 but o well is it a good machine??? Please reply

  • @youroldbuddy1

    After using it since I bought it June of last year...its been a decent and reliable machine...very easy starting,fairly lightweight however the flex shaft on this model has been a let down.  As you'll start using it, you'll notice it shake from time to time. Its normal.

    If I were to compare it with the similarly priced FS90r...the 90r wins. Good purchase.

  • Why do you have such a powerful trimmer for a small job?

  • @ML424wr

    because I run a lawn business. I need powerful trimmers like this.

  • I think the valves in the carb are stuck but sometimes it's better to play with the choke while it's running.

  • put the choke up and down and it will work

  • My BG 55 does that too

  • @XXWRD2BIGBRDXX

    well in his defense the 70 is pretty powerful for a entry level STIHL commercial version of the 56 . The motor's rated at 1.2hp, so it is stronger, and matches closely to the my FS-90 4-mix engine with 1.3hp, 0.1-0.2hp doesn't make a significant difference. There's more powerful units out there like the 250 at 2.5hp, but you're paying close to $650 for this, plus beyond that its clearing saw territory and aren't exactly trimmers.

  • @ML424wr im saying its not that powerful compared to the other stihl machines

  • @XXWRD2BIGBRDXX What are you saying?

  • check if there are holes in the lines or the fuel filter might be clogged

  • @ML424wr phhffff POWERFULL TRIMMER?
