Who do you think is the winner of the Bed Redefiner Battle? Which product would you choose? Any other brand preferences?
Really?!?
Echo Means Bussiness picks Echo... there's a shocker 🙄
The Stihl cuts through it like butter.
Very good video! I've owned the Echo unit since it first came out and it is ALL ABOUT THE GROUND CONDITIONS with these units. If the ground is too wet (as it usually ALWAYS is in the spring when you are looking to redefine the beds,) the unit is not enjoyable to use. It clogs continually and usually I have to stop the engine and clear the head out by hand frequently. I have the same clay-type soil in Central Ohio that you are working in and it is the worst case scenario as you state in your video. If the soil is very dry, sun-baked clay, the unit will want to bounce off the hard ground. I agree with everything you said: it created a nice sloped edge and throws the soil into the bed or at least stacks it up next to the trench so you just need to quickly rake it in before mulching. Even with the PITA of clearing out the clogged head it is still much faster than hand digging, although hand digging will yield a much deeper trench, if desired. Also it breaks up the soil somewhat to make it easier to spread in the bed. Hand digging requires either removing the soil or a lot of extra raking to breakup the soil in the bed. These tools are really only for re-defining an existing edge and NOT for creating new trenches in the lawn. If you have a LOT of bed edges to do each year I would invest in a larger bed edging machine but for the average homeowner this will get you by as long as you do not require very deep edges and can use it in not too wet/not too dry soil conditions.
Just bought the Echo, are you supposed to walk backward or forward with it?
@@shanew7361 I walk backward. I think all the videos of others using this tool are walking backward as well.
Cutting the grass first and showing close up of the actual edge would have been useful
I need one of these 🤩
Great video. I am interested in buying 1 unit and being able to switch out the redefiner blade with a straight edger blade. Is that possible with either of these units?
I'm still wondering what would happen if you swapped the cutting blades?
Which powerhead do you like overall for edging and trimming duties? I have a 130R and might might up the 2620.
Thanks for video Comma I just bought the Echo Attachment And looking forward to using it Period I've been using Echo For three years And find Engines to be very reliable and starts easy
Glad it was helpful!
I put the echo redefiner blade on my stihl kombi unit. Works great and yes the blade does fit! I use it all the time. Unfortunately the area I live in is always wet and either one you use you will have issues. But the best for me was echo blade on stihl kombi unit!
Thank you!! The answer I been looking for
Now The High Reving Of That Stihl Kombi Systems Motor, Sounds Like It Didn’t Look Like It Was Doing It’s Job Because It Was Probably The Driveshafts Motor, And The Attachment Almost Sounded Like The Inside Of That Gear Case Clutch, Drive Shafts, Needed Probably Some More Grease Shaft, Lubricating, It’s Also Always Very Important That When You Guys Are Working With Machines Like Those Is Always Sometimes Perform On-site Maintenance, Or Take Them To Your Local Stihl Or Echo Dealer, And I Love Echo Products Too You Know, And Nice Video Guys 🍻.
what?
@@TheSoloAsylum I Was Just Trying To Tell You Guys How These Things Work That’s All Alright .
Echo system for sure.
which one goes deeper?
You definitely went back over with the Echo. Watch your own video
So I guess I’m getting the Echo one.
I love my PAS 2620 system. You can't beat it's versatility
Now, I will not buy the Echo due to this review. The Stihl had to be restricted to get down to the performance level of the Echo. (Looks like the 130R means 130 Restricted) I own both Stihl and Echo products and while most of my Echo products are good, my Stihl products are higher performance. I started out using Echo 5 years ago and kept upgrading to the best Echo offers. Then I bought Stihl because it was the only dealership open when the Echo broke in the middle of a job. Wow, what a difference in performance...Echo is a good inexpensive, reliable piece of equipment, but when I want performance, I buy Stihl now because it is more productive and it means less work on me.
Can you take the echo attachment and put it on the stihl head unit ?
I've heard they can't.
Def not, they are huge competitors against each other
Does anybody know?
Stihl for the win !!! No way the two stroke can beat the four stroke torque of the stihl . You need torque when digging dirt !!
this intro gave me vertigo
Can I use this as a trencher to bury cable 3- 4" deep
Golden edge might be a better choice.
I used the Stihl bed edger to put in 2" PVC pipe here in Florida.
Stihl has more torque and is quieter. They need to make the tool alittle wider.
They both sound under powered
The flap is designed the way it is because you’re supposed to move forward with them not in reverse
Wrong sir. Look at the Stihl website. You pull, not push
@@pennjacksonjr.1424 you’re definitely correct!
Honestly, they both look weak. They might be ok for a city lot, but not for something bigger. Even with a city lot, you're better just using your trimmer held upside down. It does a nice job. Just my personal opinion
these are designed to go forward like an edger.
No. They're not.
@@philipb5014 They certainly are, go argue with Echo about it.
@@TheSoloAsylum What are you talking about? According to page 24 of the echo manual it says its supposed to be pulled, not pushed.
Seems pretty bias. I'm an all battery user. Doing research on these for my business. Too bad that upon calling and speaking with Echo, they "don't have" a bed redefiner attachment for their battery system. Which is completely changing this year anyway. Also, these are redefiners, not to be used to create a new edge as in this video. The search continues for someone using the KMA 130 R or KMA 135 R with the bed edge redefiner to use 😑
Not impressed. I could see using this too to maintain the edge on my bed through the season but I can easily get through 200feet of seasonal/neglected edging with a half moon and a shovel in 30-45 minutes.
Very biased review, my kombi 91 power head runs circles around the pas system
Lol if that’s clay hahah looks like topsoil
Totally not biased 🤡
You guys walking backward was cringe. Supposed to drag the machine behind you as you walk forward.
The way they did it is the easiest way.
Eyes in the back of your head?
booh. Stihl is always better. no need for this vid lol
LMAO, still 56v. Weak sauce, nice try.
