I got a stihl and think that is your best bet... there always seems to be an offer at your local dealer and for me they have been great for phoning in need of advice etc. Leclerc seems to do cheep makes and mr bricolage have a range too. p.s. think carefully about the size of land that needs strimming and get the right motor. www.le-murier.com    Report

I like Husky stuff (cant be ar*ed reading your links though).  But, be aware that as Husky is now part of the Electrolux group , it may just be a Husky badge on some other 2nd rate product.  Check it out before buying.  Also, can you get the parts easily ? Recommend you go to a local garden machinery / tractor shop and see whats on offer (loads in Limoges !!).  If I was with you, you would be looking at the best - Stihl and a pro model (FS300 and up) at that.  Nothing comes close, just make sure the shop you buy from stocks all the parts, usually not an issue for a Stihl dealership.      Report

Husqvarna are now independant from Electolux and concentrate on the industrial end of the market unlike McCulloch the DIY brand.  I work for a national tool hire company and we have them in the hire fleet so should be a good buy with a reliable service network in France.    Report
