My first season with my battery trimmer and I'm still trying to find that sweet spot, I did exactly what you said burned right through the battery first yard! I'm just beginning to get several yards out of the trimmer. I only use the blower for townhomes or my weekly properties. As far as hedge trimmers and small saw I don't ever see my self going back to gas✔💪
Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
Ive been watching you for quite some time and seeing the simplicity yet intriguing qualities of your videos inspired me to start my own lawn care channel thanks Johnny!
Go for it!
Awesome video. Great advice from all sides. I’m not a pro, but I love taking care of my lawn. Your videos gave me the confidence last fall to start making the switch, and I’ll never go back to gas. I love my battery powered equipment. I’m not mechanical enough to properly take care of my gas equipment, and now all I have to do is plug in a charger and charge my batteries. The final piece of the puzzle for me was just delivered, the attachment capable Toro 60V. I can’t wait to put it together and try it. I already have the mower, blower, and hedge trimmer and love them all. No more mixing gas, choking, and pulling the cords, which has been getting tough with my arthritis. This equipment will keep me in the game!
Johnny, thank you for all your help, I try not to ever miss a video! Cheers
Cool, thanks!
Best electric vs. gas powered video I've seen yet! Great job man!
Wow, thanks!
I got my trimmer and blower in Nov 2021 and my mower this past March I'm glad I made the switch. Honestly over the months of using them the performance is just as good or even better than my gas powered equipment. Like you said with the batteries I need to listen to the sound the equipment would make to let me know when they were dying out. I will be upgrading my trimmer and blower to 80v soon. Thank you again for recommending the battery powered tools!
I really appreciate these types of videos. I do landscaping out in CA and with the upcoming gas power equipment ban, this really gives me insight as far as equipment goes. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
man that mower is crazy! I was waiting for it to start and it started moving ‼️😂🤣
You and me both!
Thank you. This was an honest evaluation. As a lawn care guy I appreciate it.
I appreciate that!
I like how you explain the financial aspect of equipment for homeowners and yard care pros. People do not understand you started out years ago with minimal equipment and BUILT up to this cool awesome stuff. You BUILT your business over 10 years to get to a beautiful matching set of orange Huskys. Cool video as always! 🤠❤🤩
So true, Thank you very much
Great insight. Thanks Johnny.
I just got a battery powered string trimmer and agree with your recommendation on feathering the speed. Much different then my Stihl FS55r. Also taking some getting use to the battery powered string trimmer start up “lag”.
My first string trimmer was a battery unit and same thing with the left blower back in 2017 when I was 15 and they are both Worx and this year I change the battery powered trimmer to a gas powered trimmer I love gas powered equipment but I will still use a battery left blower
Great advice
Great information!!! Thank you
Great advice. I’m a contractor and there is a learning curve going to battery but it’s so much nicer than using petrol gear all day.
I just went full conversion with the greenworks snowblower purchase the other day. Last year I picked up the ego trimmer and blower combo, greenworks lawnmower. Got batteries, chargers. It’s perfect for homeowners. Especially no smell in the garage!
Very nice!
You inspired me to switch to battery and it's working out just fine for me. Thanks for all your advice
Great to hear!
Grabbed a battery powered Toro Hedge trimmer and I’ve done 3 bush jobs and the battery lasted way longer than expected. I’m gas for now on trimmers and blowers, but sure wish I had one of those electric stand on mowers ✂️💯
Thanks for the advice and I like your trailer setup!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice. I’m in the process of going to batt for my edgers / trimmers next season the echo 56v line has been what I’m most impressed with. One tip ya could use for batt savings is running 0.080 line instead of 0.095. Husqvarna titanium force is best 0.080 line I’ve ever used especially for chain link fences.
Your observations mimic mine. As a homeowner I made the switch gradually to electric because I just got tired of the separate fuels and maintenance eating up my limited time on the one day of the week I have to do yard maintenance. I am currently using the Kobalt branded tools in the 40volt range. All my batteries swap with each other. All my chargers are the same so I have some flexibility if something happens. My hearing has improved. My aging legs and back appreciate lighter equipment. I agree with you needing to learn speed control with the trimmer. also agree that the technology for the blowers are lagging. I need to budget some new batteries since I'm three seasons in on the original ones.
When I first started my small business and lawn care I got my DeWalt push mower and dewalt trimmer and blower I don’t regret it but I wish I started off with gas! They did keep up with tough yards !
my 13-year-old 2-cycle trimmer has been trusty all these past summers, but has given me nothing but grief this summer, it's back at the shop the 3rd time already this summer. It's been having me consider a battery trimmer, but next question has me wondering which brand ("ecosystem") to choose (if I want to get more small battery lawn tools) I'm not a pro but have a 9000 ft² corner lot (a lot to trim & edge)
ps your smooth and deliberate motions while working are almost mesmerising 😀
Great information 👍
I have just started a lawn mowing business here in New Zealand. I have gone all Stihl battery equipment. I always wanted to go battery so I figured it was better to spend the money I would have spent on petrol equipment on extra batteries. I started off with 8 AP300 S batteries. so far I have never run out of battery power. But I am still only small.
I love this content! I have had the same experiences with battery operated equipment.
Thank you!
You are so right. Cordless equipment is great for well maintained properties. My lawns are so tame that it's a breeze. I've been 100% cordless for 4 years now. I've got my route and charging spots well planned out. Loving it! Great vid! 👍🏼#580
Right on, I enjoy your videos as well, thanks!
Got a Hu
As
Got a Husqvarna battery powered hedge trimmer really like it. Thanks for the very informative video.
Good choice!
Good stuff Johnny! Got that yard looking nice and crisp. I got to go back and see your video on the mower. Keep up the good work buddy!💪👍💯
Thanks 👍
I'm a proud owner of a Husqvarna 360bt gas backpack blower for the last month & love it. Great video brother I really enjoy ur content 👍🏿
Thanks 👍
I had a cheaper battery trimmer from Walmart when I first started. Lasted first 2 days and I bought a Husqvarna gas trimmer
I'm a homeowner and I use 100% battery lawn equipment. I even went the extra mile and I now have a battery powered snowblower to go along with it. I was tired if messing with carbs, fuel lines, fuel additives, 2 stroke mixes. The convenience of the battery equipment pays for itself especially when its all the same brand. Just waiting on EGO to make a vehicle now. 😆 🤣
I trid my aunts battery mower it was nice and quiet
All good points. I can't find the Husqvarna trimmers you have. Iv been looking.. I don't want the moter on the head I want the combi one moter on the unit.
I just switched over to battery powered equipment and honestly I love it. It works for me and I’m just taking care of my house. Less maintenance and more convenient in my opinion.
Wow that mower is quiet great work blades
Thanks 👍
Great honest information!!
Glad you think so!
Some electric weed whackers like greenworks power max has a low and high setting.
I do not do a lot a shrub trimming. My issue in the past was gas powered shrub trimmers sat up and ended up never starting when I needed them. I bought a dewalt 20 volt hedge trimmer because I already have dewalt batteries with my drills and grinder and such.
It does what I need it to. I can use it on a job where I make $350-400 in 2-3 hours doing shrubs and it goes through 2-3 6 amp hour batteries .
I’ve had it 2 years and am very satisfied. I think if it ever breaks on me, I will either buy the husqvarna or stihl battery set next.
I think if you are established and have the revenue coming in, keeping gas equipment and using each piece a day every week or 2 to keep it going and switching to mainly battery powered equipment could have its plus side.
As long as it’s routine maintenance, the stuff I’ve seen and demoed seems to work fine. But if all you’re doing is clean ups you’re going to burn through batteries. Just like Johnny said.
This dude will not steer you wrong.
I got a lot of respect for him. And I have learned a lot over the years watching these videos.
Keep it going !
The noise reduction is a plus too
Strimmer great.i have small blower for blowing grass off paths. Come autumn I have petrol back pack blower.much more powerful than battery. I not come across good battery mower yet. I using petrol mower. Battery hedge cutters are brilliant. Definitely room for improvement
Best review on battery equipment period
Thank you
The info on battery powered equipment is on point. I’m looking to get a Husqvarna battery powered string trimmer and blower for my home. Yes I have noticed that the battery powered tools are very quiet 🤫. Once again thanks for the info and Stay Hydrated 💦💦💦.
Have you tried any echo battery powered lawn equipment ?? I wanted to try a electric weed whip since I have a echo pb755st gas back pack leaf blower and sthil edger and craftsman 21 inch gold series push mower since I have 0.5 acre I don't see my self using a electric leafblower since I have alot of leafs for the fall and for the winter sometimes if I have light snowfall I use my blower instead of shoveling do you recommend a electric string trimmer for the home owner use ?
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching
Who ever comes out with a decent long lasting blower 2 hour run time plus is going to own the market.
Great video, yard looks sharp as always. I bought my 1st blade edger echo 2620 combo. I didn't know it make sparks when I'm edging, 😀😆😀. I'm I doing something wrong or you guys are just that good ❓ Thanks
I love how you don’t sugarcoat things.
Wow nice place, I'am a big fan of yours from the Phillippines♥️
Thanks! 😃
Great video
Thanks!
Good 🌅☕ EXCELLENT ADVICE 👍🌟👍🌟
Thank you! Cheers!
nice video buddy we love Husqvarna battery l agree we still need gas products l still need a gas trimmer because of rain so l bought a Husqvarna 522 is only 9.34 lbs very close to the battery trimmers 😁
Thanks 👍
Nothing beats real horsepower
If you're new to lawn care buy gas it's more powerful will get the job done faster making you more money if you husle. There is no charging to do no money to spend on replacement batteries. Battery equipment is not yet proven like gas equipment
I use a plug in mower
Biggest problems - soaring battery costs, battery design changes, weaning power, and down time while charging.
EGO makes a great! Battery powered trimmer. The 40V goes and goes! Only Con I would say doesn't give good Precision as a gas trimmer does
You made some great comments on husqvarna equipment. I'm going electric and its not cheap.
I'm trying out TORO new line soon, Good luck!
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare wanted to no what size electric husqvarna blower is that.
I feel like you really need to have an inclosed trailer before really getting heavy on electric equipment. What's your thoughts on that?
Nah... Commercial unit stand up to the weather. They are designed for it. I have an open trailer with electric edger and trimmer on it everyday and no issues yet
Brother you ain't never told a lie! 😆
You certainly know your stuff.
This my second summer....
tryin my hand in the lawn service, all I get are *JUNGLE PROPERTIES!!!!* 😭 😭😭
Yup! What you have to do is find the area were you want to work in and market it hard
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare
Thanks!
I had a ton of Stihl battery. String trimmer + battery last 25 minutes. 3-4 lawns.
Husky 13-14 lawns 2 cells? That’s wild.
I know, right!?
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare I may need to try some husky battery equipment. I’m with you in the blower. They’re just not there yet. Ego has some serious cfm blowers but battery life isn’t there.
I’m just curious, what do you do when it starts to rain?
Keep mowing
A lot of municipalities are passing laws to go to battery only. What you say makes a lot of scene.
That's a lot of equipment you have in your trailer, like a shop.
What model is that blower? I can't find it.
Nvm, I paused the video lol.
👍👍👍
Whenever one of my Echo 2620s die, I'm looking to replace it with a battery power head from whoever has some of the best technology at that time.
That's cool
I run a 2620. Just got the new echo eforce…especially on high power mode, I notice no major difference between the 2. They really are that close.
I think the end of mowing time is October
You got me thinking something…
😎
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and that’s a question I wanted to ask you was when you use your trimmer to edge do you use high power or low power?
I always use my trimmer at low power and just feather the trigger
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare Thanks for that information, I appreciate it.
if you got the money to spend, check out "makita connectx 1200wh", solves all your battery issues 😂
I trim my yard with Eletric and get like 6 times out of each battery. Eletric trimmers are great.
Blowers for clippings and driveway walkway blow off is great. Fall time no way for multiple properties but home owner is good with one.
Mowers home owners are good for Eletric but again not for a ton of properties
Thanks for sharing
✌🏻👏🏻🙏🏻😃
💯👍
Upgrading my mower trimmer and blower to electric was probably the most excited I've ever been about lawn equipment. No way would I consider going back to gas 😆
Actually what you should do is get rid of that big pickup truck. It eats fuel it needs more expensive service, even tyres are more expensive. If you would come to Europe especially Germany you would see a house trailer and small car like golf everywhere and it hauls easy no problem a house on wheels. It would brake your brains as tv commercial in usa maid you think what you need that big pick up truck with 4x4 with all those shananingans. What actually happening you dont even need third of it! In Europe they do not buy pickup its pointless, you buy commercial vechile with slide doors and same trailer as you have. And that commercial vechile has like 1,6 or even smaller engine no such thing like v6 or v8 and it does job exactly as your picpup just you spend less money on car, you servise it cheap, parts are cheap, fuel economy is one of the best.
2 cycle hand held equipment all day everyday. Sorry you will never convince me this is a better machine. More eco friendly yes but nowhere near the power, longevity and versatility. Have a good day
