Got one in HD in Nashua, NH. They still had about 5 left.

The real advantage is for us Northern types that only mow 7 months out of the year , propane doesn't have any of the storage issues that regular gasoline fuel does.

Also consider the waste produced by the fuel tanks for the propane (yes they are recyclable but think of the number of people who won't recycle them and the amount of waste the recycling plant will create).

Also note, these are a good deal heavier than normal weed wackers (16 pounds). Great price if you're in the market though.

Where would one recycle that tank?

What? The deal was already posted. If there are more good deals, then shouldn't new threads be posted?

good grief will you shutup already?

assembled mine yesterday. took about 12-15 cranks to get it going the first time. it was strange; you're expecting the engine to really kick in after it initially starts up, but then you realize that's as loud as it gets until you pull the trigger. yes it does have some heft to it, but the shoulder strap works well enough. if you plan on using it for more extended periods of time, i'd recommend rigging it up with some more padding.

a 2.5 oz bottle of oil is included, and the manual calls for 2.7. not sure why everyone isn't using the recommended amount per what the manual states. i noticed no leakage.

Which Home Depot in Orlando has these trimmers?

Also, any stores in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale have them?

Do you normally ask other people to do your shopping for you?

Anyone have a sku? My ft laud store (hah) didn't have them in stock, clerk locked up trying to understand how "my buddy in Georgia" possibly could have bought one since after 10 minutes of me asking if she could check other store stock, she found it said "online only" at HD.com

Don't we all? We are shopping for better prices and helping each other out at Fatwallet. Please keep your attitude in check.

I've checked a few stores in CA and I don't think they carry them here, I have only seen these propane trimmers at Sears and ACE.

i trimmed/destroyed quite a bit yesterday. took me a lot longer than usual since it was the first time i've weedeated at the house (5 weeks). One of the strings broke off and i didnt feel like fixing it in the middle of trimming, so i used it with one string for a lot of thick stuff and it worked dam good. has tons of power and handled most everything in its path (except the 5 ft tall tree-weed i attempted). you don't smell like burned oil when you're done, either

And you haven't been breathing in the exhaust (including unburned oil) that a 2-cycle puts out.

I tried mine last night and got it started after about 6 pulls. It has a lot of power but is awfully heavy. Lehr is getting ready to start selling a propane-powered blower. if it can be bought for what I paid for the trimmer I'm in!
