  • My wife bought this weed eater for me and I really like it! It’s a professional grade trimmer and is built to last. The trimmer head can be replaced with saw blade style heads for cutting brush as well.

    Great video and test of the trimmer. The reason it’s so quiet is it’s actual a four stroke but still uses fuel/oil mix. Lots easy to work on and more reliable too.

    It's getting to be that time of year, I bought a new one for the year and went with this model as well. Just break engine in around half throttle for first three tanks of fuel. Last new one I bought fs90r broke in well and has been flawless ever since bought in 2010.

  • @12123188
    @12123188 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have seen people on the internet complaining about the 4-mix engine that it's on/off on the throttle. I wouldn't agree. It indeed goes high in the revs almost immediately but there really is a big difference in the power output when using more or less throttle. It uses very little fuel, is low on noise and has a very clean burn. I love this machine.

    • @MaynardFamilyHomestead

      It takes regular 50:1 gas oil mix. I use the premix stuff from the store. It’s ethanol free and lasts a long time so you don’t have to worry about problems from sitting over the winter.

    • @MaynardFamilyHomestead
      @MaynardFamilyHomestead  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thanks! From what I’ve read Stihl requires a 50:1 gas oil mix even though it’s a 4 stroke. It’s called a 4 mix system, it uses 2 cycle oil mix and don’t have an oil pump. It’s pretty cool actually!

    • @Freakingstang
      @Freakingstang 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It is not a 4cycle engine. It is a four mix engine that requires two stroke oil. Stihl quit using the term four mix because dumbasses like yourself, that don’t read the manual.
      Speaking of manual. Page 27 of the FS91, 91R manual under “Fuel”
      “This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline and the stihl two-stroke engine oil at a mix ratio of 50:1. Your engine requires a mixture of high quality gasoline and two-stroke air cooled engine oil.”

    • @prittsybaby
      @prittsybaby 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Freakingstang It is a four stroke engine. It has valves. Look in the user manual for valve maintenance. 2 stokes dont have valves. I can tell just by the sound. 2 stoke vs 4 stroke is used to describe the number of turns the crank makes between ignition to ignition. The 2 stroke mixture is for lubrication and cooling. Has nothing to do with number of strokes.
