Husqvarna 324L 25cc 4-Cycle Straight Shaft String Trimmer

4 cycle performs great!

This product is great! I love it except for it being a little too heavy for me to handle.

This machine is Awesome and wife loves it,especially the bump twine. Would buy again hands down.

So far very satisfied with this trimmer. This replaces my Echo 2 stroke. Husqy is quieter, less emissions, better balanced and string spool quality and cutting performance is light years better. It is a tad heavier but the balance of the Husqy unit is superior and makes up for weight disparity.

I would recommend this Trimmer.

Best of the best.

I did all the research (on every site imaginable) and found this company was offering the best price around.
What finally "sold" me were the reviews of other purchasers.

I ordered it in time for it to arrive just before Father's Day! Yea! Hubby likes it (easy maneuverability-got the shoulder strap) and it is powerful. Cut his time down to almost 1/2......on our acre.

I got my first 4 cycle trimmer five years ago - a Craftsman from Sears. I really liked it - good low-end torque which meant a lot of trimming without running it wide open all the time. It just died last week, and I sought a replacement. Had always heard that Husky was a good brand, so I bought this model.

Positives:
1. Starts MUCH easier than the Craftsman.
2. Runs MUCH quieter than the Craftsman.
3. Is lighter than the Craftsman.
4. Cuts better than the Craftsman.

Negatives:
1. Does not have provision for a shoulder strap.
2. It will not accept the .130 Oregon Gater line I have come to know and love.

I took the shoulder strap and attachment off the craftsman and installed it on this one, and I bought an aftermarket Shakespear head that will accept the .130 line. I will install it when the head that came with the trimmer is empty.

I cannot address the reliability nor the lifespan yet, but after the first few hours of use I LOVE this Husky!

I use a dozen of these string trimmers for heavy weeds in a coffee plantation in mexico. They are used 5 continuous hours a day 6 times a week. The trimmer head is better than stihl and makita, great balance and start fast.

I can't comment on customer support. If a string stopped working, due to distances, we just leave it be. They last around 2 years without major problems. They work in the rain and that just fine.

After many phone calls to the company I finally got the name a place of a place I could take my trimmer to for repair. When they serviced it they found the gas line had a kink in it and came that way from the manufacturer.

I left the trimmer and returned later in the day and they had repaired it. It was impossible for gas to ever reach the motor. I'm still trying to get use to it as it's hard to get running but when it dose it very quite and dose a great job.
