2 stroke vs 4 stroke trimmers - Which cuts better???
#1   Aug 20, 2007 7:29 pm

Ok....I'm aware of the advantages for each below.  One thing I have not been able to find any feedback or forums on is a simple question of which cuts better.  I recently bought a Troy-Built 2 stroke and after it warms up (which does take a few minutes) it does is great job.  I have the add on tools attachment and use an edger, blower and tiller (sometimes) attachment for lawn care around the house.  I have noticed the throttle control on the 2 stroke is difficult to control, even after a few minutes of warm up and getting full power.

Advantages

  • 2 Stroke:
    • Higher revving
    • No cam or vales to worry about
    • Lighter
    • No need to change oil
  • 4 Stroke:
    • More quiet
    • More torque
    • No mixing of fuel
    • Less pollution

Here are my specific questions:

1.       Would the lower revving / higher torque 4 stroke cut better for all attachments?

2.       Does the 4 stroke have the same warm up and challenge of throttle control as the 2 stroke?

Thanks in advance....Lance
