These models, identified by the part number 966648603, embody cutting-edge technology and ergonomic design, making them ideal for tackling various lawn care tasks.

One of the standout features of the Husqvarna 128 C and 128 L is their lightweight and balanced construction. Weighing approximately 10.36 lbs, these trimmers are easy to handle, reducing fatigue during extended use.

This user-friendly feature is particularly beneficial for those who may find starting traditional engines challenging.

Another significant characteristic is the Fuel Pump, which provides a steady flow of fuel to the carburetor, ensuring a quick start without manual priming.
