Model No: T230
Manufacturer: Shindaiwa

This is a popular machine for the homeowners that just want to do some grass trimming. A blade can be mounted to this machine, but it?s not recommended because of the lack of control with the loop handle. (That?s the same with any machine with the loop handle.) This machine is 22.5cc?s, outputs 1.1hp @ 7500 rpm, and has a dry weight of 10.2 lbs.

Pros:
light weight
surprising power
2 ring piston
full anti vibration system
chrome-plated cylinder
solid steel mainshaft
4-bearing gearcase

Cons:
not recommended for use with a blade
doesn?t come with shoulder strap

Date Purchased: demoed at work
Price Paid: $439.95
