    I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use czcams.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

    Thanks ... I had my own property management, maintenance (repairs and lawn) and remodeling business of commercial and residential for 32 yrs ...
    back then Stihl controlled the market
    I need one for around the house now
    That it was time to retire one of those trimmers I kept when I sold the company. ( can't complain it was 24 yrs old) I have heard all 3 of these are good and am willing to give others a shot also at my age weight has to be considered.

    The Speed Head on the Echo 2620 has a wear indicator on the bottom. That head cover can be replaced. Refer to page 38 in the operators manual for the SRM-2620 Grass trimmer/ brush cutter. just a response to your minor complaint. :) I love your reviews. You are very thoughtful and sincere. Thanks for your work.

    I have an Echo SRM 4600 a 46cc beast with aluminum body not plastic rubbish. A little heavy but i love it . Easy to start and just runs like a dream. Have run 4 tanks of fuel through it one session running it at full throttle 98% of the time and it didn't miss a beat! Had it for 5 years and only replaced a starter rope and spark plug.

    Used many strimmers over many years and I have to say that my Husky 535LK is my favourite, nice weight and well balanced. Not as powerful as a dedicated brush cutter but still enough to use a clearing saw, plus all the attachments available. Pro combi's are a great if a bit expensive option but it literally does almost everything but mow!

      I still have a T242 that I use every week commercially. I used it today. Had it since 2009. The old Shindaiwa models, true Shindaiwa before Echo took over, were absolutely amazing trimmers. I'm fixing to try a couple new models for fun though. Stihl 94R, Stihl 111R, and Husqvarna 525LST. I'm just really skeptical on the 111R being 4mix and I held it at the dealer and it feels really heave. 94R and 525LST feel so light, its insane.

      I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but I'm gonna wait till they're completely dead ( husqvarna chainsaw , Toro blower & hedge trimmer) before I replace them. However the Husqvarna 128 curve shaft I bought 5 years ago is pure trash! I'm a xbox gamer & drummer & I'm only 35 but I'm getting some bad stiffness in my right ring & middle finger & my thumb. So if its Stihl or Echo idc I just gotta have reliability, power & most of all comfort!

      C Allen maruyama is low vibration and totally made in Japan. I love my echo 2620, but the vibration of using all day is affecting my hands. Idk why they use a stupid cable. Only con to that trimmer.
      If I could do it over, I would have got the 3020. It’s nominally heavier, and feels really balanced. Plus it is made in Japan. My uncle got one today and it was super impressive.

    Here in SoCal, a lot of us use TMC weed whackers. . If you can ever get your hands on one, I recommend the TMC KPW2750V weed whacker.It uses a Kawasaki 26.3 cc engine and the best non intrusive guard on a weed whacker, and best trigger in my opinion. Cons I would say is vibration and the weight, other than it is solid and reliable. Having said that, the 2620t is an amazing machine.

    You said virtually the same as the other channel. The winner is the public!!!! Competition between the three companies has produced three very very good machines at very competitive prices! It boils down to personal preference and price for the consumer... THE Consumer WINS. THIS IS CALLED CAPITALISM. OUR SYSTEM OF MARKETING WORKS THE BEST TO SUPPLY THE CONSUMER THE BEST PRODUCTS AT THE BEST PRICEs. Have good products on the shelf where they are needed... capitalism works. Go to any socialist country Cuba Russia or Venezuela they don’t have the products for the people. You must seek what you need on the black market. The people in Russia, Cuba and Venezuela are good but the socialist system fails.

    i just purchased the husqvarna 329L on 8/2/2020 from lowes. last year 2019 i purchased the craftsman 4cycle 30cc model; it worked good and i even bragged to my neighbor about the power and less noise with the 4 cycle engine. after storing it at end of season i pull it out in may of this year and the starter string would not pull out no more than 2 inches, finally after maybe 100 something tries, the string extended out, put new fuel in, new oil, 200 pulls no start. sat 8/1/2020 i go to lowes and get the drill bit to electric start it, after many tries with the drill and the machine seeming to want to come on i decide to go purchase another new weedwacker, thats how i ended up with the new husqvarna... i hope it last me more than one year, and i wish the plastic housing around the motor didnt look and feel so flimsy. the plastic on the craftsman felt a little more substantial.

While I was trimming yesterday I thought about it and with my lightweight Husqvarna 525L I really don’t experience any discomfort in my back like I used to with the heavier home use trimmers that I started out with. But while looking at Darwin’s page I saw someone who uses waterproof covers for his trimmers and I wander if those are really needed? Sometimes I bring my trimmers in the garage when it looks like it’ll rain but often they get rained on and I don’t think it effects them much.

    I dont like how Echo has all the internals exposed. Stihl keeps it enclosed with Husqvarna keeping it completely exposed which is better than open. The Husqvarna trigger is flexible and can be bent all the way backwards without breaking it. Personally I think the 525LST is about 10-20 percent more powerful than the fs94r when the string is out longer you will notice. Husqvarna doesnt require as much warm up for some reason. Overall I think they are all durable but power/weight ratio goes to husqvarna. The 535LS has same weight as Echo and loads more power, but thirsty

Dumped the gas changed the plug let it dry for 2 days... most likely the flood killed it.

    Been a stihl family since day one for personal equipment, saws, trimmers, blowers,... name it, used it except REAL 070 and 090 saws. (Got to use chinese knock off 070, was still fun). Have always found the job gets done faster with stihl in my hands. Used echo and husq working landscaping, and they all are great machines if you take care of them, right fuel mix, proper servicing and there no reason any one of them wont last you 10 + years. Nice video my man, keep it up.

    • @exterminator1
      @exterminator1  Před 4 lety

      I disagree. A guard does not prevent rocks from hitting anything.Used em for years.As far as rolling you mean on the trimmer rack? Cuz that's wrong.however there is compression pins to make them not turn.but there is zero point of a trimmer staying flat.thanks for watching

    With vibration on the Echo, you said it was an early model before they were even available. Are you sure it has a cable? Since the early ones came with a solid hollow shaft that Echo replaced due to vibration issues.

      yes Virginia. for 200 your choices are echo srm 225 or stihl fs56rc. 56 has way more power but 225 is longer and more comfortable.husqvarna has a 128ld for 200.you can get them online cheaper than 200 but they are reconditioned.which is a good thing.

    • @exterminator1
      @exterminator1  Před 6 lety +3

      Guards slow us down and prevents more line from advancing. Also blocks what we see and limits the ability to trim fast.normal wear and tear from the line cutting grass etc. cuts the line.Or if you use a speed feed you can twist it back in.More line out , more production.

      Shawn Kemp The PAS/SRM2620 meets EPA regulations as of 2018, at least that's what it says on mine. The muffler is catalyzed and no scent when it's running. I went with the Echo over Stihl or Honda due to dealer proximity and service and because I have a 25 to 30 year old Echo PB210 E leaf blower that still runs beautifully.

    Hi eXterminator
    et. al.
    Could you or someone comment on which is better; a 4-stroke like the Husqvarna 324L or the 2-stroke 525L and why? I'm just a home owner and sure either would be OK but would rather get the better of the two for performance/longevity. My local big box stores no longer have the Echo 2620T, only the 2620AA. Much appreciative to hear from those actually in the lawn care business vs. numerous everyday opinons from a google search.

    Exterminator.. I have 3 models of trimmers I'm considering. All cost the same amount of money and will be used on my 3 acre property non commercial use. Some overgrown thick weeds and brush from time to time. All models are 319$ each and after tax around 350$ which is my budget. Husqvarna 525LS, Stihl 91R, and echo 2620. All three models seem to be about the same in power. My main concern is which model of the 3 will have the least amount of vibration?? Local dealer let me demo a shinadaiwa 242 and the shaft and head shook and vibrated so bad that I returned in less than 10 min of use. I'm not really too concerned with noise levels, weight, or fuel capacity. Just want the easiest starting, less pulls the better, and least vibration model there is for my carpal tunnel wrist. What do you suggest

    • @exterminator1
      @exterminator1  Před 7 lety +2

      The stihl 91r is the most powerful one you mentioned as it is a 4 stroke,that stihl calls a "4mi".It is a 4 stroke that uses mixed fuel like a 2 stroke.They have almost zero vibration due to the solid steel shafts stihl uses in them(they also can take attachments).So of those 3 options I would have to choose the 91r.If you get the other two you will be happy also.But they dont accept attachments and have less torque(they are 2 strokes).

    I’m curious why Stihl would give you a Echo trimmer for free? I like my Husqvarna 525L. It’s light and that makes it easier to use for me. Lol, how many times did he say that his worker just slammed it on there? Chew his ass if he pisses you off! And that’s why I won’t hire someone, I keep my mowing business right around 35 country lots... just enough to keep me busy without hiring someone to piss me off by slamming the fricking trimmers onto my trimming rack. BTW, I’m not a Ahole but if someone was mistreating my equipment I’d have to speak up.

I like my Husqvarna 525L very much and I will stay with the two I have of them but I love my Echo pole saws and pro brush cutter. And the brush cutter was half the price of a comparable Stihl brush cutter. For chainsaws I like my Husqvarna Pro saws and here up north where the wood is plentiful and we heat our houses with wood I use them often. Happy mowin’!
