Check Out the STIHL FS 70 Grass Trimmer

[@anthonycabrera6318]

You are a good instructor, i see you working as a teacher in Stihl outdoors equipment 💯🤙.

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

Thank you for the compliment

[@chrisb9478]

I’ve had a FS70R for about 6yrs. Best trimmer I’ve ever had as a homeowner. Big enough I can attach a brush blade too occasionally. The engine runs like a sports car, plenty of power. I did drill & tap & add a grease zerk down at the gear box above the cutter to add grease since it doesn’t have 1. And I use the Echo speed feed head to add line way easier.

Thanks for sharing. You should have this machine for many more years

[@philliphall5198]

I’m not because I work at small engine shop and test the customer equipment on my yard, thanks 🙏

I run a blade on my 70 and it does fine with cutting

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

It can spin a blade and work ok just be careful with the cable.

Quick question for you - I recently got some Gravely touch-up spray paint and was wondering if you need to do any sanding when using it? On the can, the directions don't mention you have to do any sanding.

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

To clean the service is a great idea, roughing it up won’t hurt but the finish will be slightly different

[@brucelewis1017]

The fs70 is all I used to run and I went to the fs 91 r the 91 has little bit bigger motor

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

It does and a solid drive shaft. Nice upgrade!

[@davt8615]

Would you recommend the 70 or the 94? Not much price difference here in the UK, i had the 70c with the bike handle a few years back came with the advance harness and i threw everything at it very reliable

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

That’s a great question. The 94 has a little bit more power, but almost seems like it can be a bit more expensive to own when you get into the cost of some of the parts if you treat it right that should be a non-issue

@@carlsmowerandsaw cheers bro, I've gota FS361C-em but it's pure overkill for my garden, just need something light for the boarders etc. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲

[@BasicPurple]

thanks for all these amazing videos, i run a small business cutting 15+ homes a week. ive always used ego tools and they are amazing no complaints besides it always dieing. I dont know if i should buy more new batterys or just make the switch. what are your thoughts?

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

I think you will find increased performance and efficiency if you moved to a manufacturer that has deeper roots in power equipment. We help people switch from box store brands everyday and hear rave reviews

[@johnh9507]

$120 more than the 56

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

It has jumped in price.

[@davt8615]

Worth it though, the 56 is terribly balanced and vibration is shocking.

[@philliphall5198]

No grease place no buy it

[@carlsmowerandsaw]

Surprisingly we get great life out of this gearbox. If you are a heavy user step of to an FS94 or 111RX
