[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3260719, member: 32"] I am not familiar with Maruyama. Shindiawa was the brand to beat in the 90s. They had the best trimmers around then the epa crap caused them to have carb problems. You still still pros using them. In the 90s though it was Shindiawa and Toro. It can be very regional on what people use. Depending on dealer network and other factors. Tanaka is very popular in some places. Sthil and Husky have always had the best saws. Sthil makes good products through out their line. Husky has been bought and sold so many times that have tarnished their brand imo. Echo changed their saws to orange from grey years ago because people associate orange saws as the best. When I was looking for commercial back pack blower a few years ago I was finding people were saying the Redmax was the ticket but they also sell same thing under Huksy line. I remember when Redmax came to Tulsa in late 90s. It was a hard market to sell that against Echo and Shindiawa. Now its got a decent reputation and when Echo started selling in Home depot I think they hurt their brand name same with Toro. I went with the top of the line echo blower anyway because that is what I have used for 20 years and haven't retired a piece of equipment yet. Its crazy all these companies used to only have commercial lines. Now they all have home owner lines also. [/QUOTE]
