Where is everyone getting their lawnmowers and weed wackers from? I can’t seem to locate decent well running equipment that will last more than one season. Is it time for goats & sheep?

interesting question with surprisingly simple answer;
its not the equipment so much as how you store it and what fuel you use.
I recommend using only non-ethanol premium gas in ALL outdoor power equipment.
reason is ethanol is a small engine killer…period
and hi-test ensures a more equal quality in fuel…usually
additionally, if you mix oil and gas, use the pre-mix product to ensure the correct ration.
I highly recommend running the fuel out of the equipment you store.
any fuel will age and clog the smaller lines and orifices of small engines
then again sheep or goats work too…though you may have to paint them green and yellow depending where you live
