How's your love life?

 Just recently I got tired of the batteries on my Black & Decker to never be charged when I needed to do yard work and decided to buy a gas trimmer. I went for a Husqvarna 128LD because I have had good luck with Husqvarna equipment. I usually do some research before buying something, but this time I didn't just because of the name. Big mistake, as I looked into attachment compatibility, I have learned that the 128LD is a rebranded Poulan Pro PP28LD. Pulled up engine diagrams and sure enough, same parts, same engine, so back to Lowe's it went, if I wanted a Poulan I would have gotten it at Walmart for $75 less. Went to Home Depot, dropped a little more cash and got an Echo PAS-225. Now I have some Husqvarna equipment and some Echo equipment, and mixing gas separately for each seems a bit crazy, but Echo demands that only Echo oil be used, and Husqvarna - you guessed it - that only Husqvarna oil be used. - What is the general consensus on the use of non manufacturer-recommended oil in 2 cycle engines(e.g. Husqvarna oil in Echo equipment)? Is there one oil that can safely be used across brands? - Some people are saying that a 32:1 mix ratio is better for your engine than the standard 50:1, and that 50:1 is more of an emissions/EPA thing. What mix ratio would you recommend? - Has anyone had any experience with the AMSOIL 2 cycle oil? Some people are using that at 100:1 mix ratio  .- Some people are recommending drilling holes in the exhaust to reduce pressure caused by EPA mandated filters, and removing the spark arrestors. What do you all think, is that a good idea?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
