I'm actually finding it a bit difficult to come across a good quality second hand trimmer or blower - but I'll keep looking.

If I need to buy new, I am looking at either :

STIHL FS 70
or
HUSQVARNA 322L

That's around $500 to get started. Better off just paying a bit more and getting the Husqvarna 525?

In terms of a blower, if this is not terrible, I was thinking to start with it:

ECHO PB-250

I'm trying to keep costs low as I build things up, but still get decent quality that will do the job without making me want to quit after the first week

Advice appreciated!
Personally I would go the extra and get the 525LST as starting out you'll probably get a few ferals and overgrown and the 525 will be better for these

Also when you can have a look in store at Bunnings and check both the shelve and the storage areas above as they had the PB2520 on clearance at both Vermont sth and Scoresby for around the $200 mark one of the stores had none on the shelf but had two above note as they are clearance they aren't on line
