- The ECHO PAS 225 and 2620 are both awesome machines. I personally would not run my business without at least one of these units. They are so versatile that just would make sense not to have one.

![HOW TO GET A PERFECT SIDEWALK EDGE EVERY TIME [TRIMMER VS EDGER!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OJm4dn23qlk/mqdefault.jpg)
We got the echo pas-225. Has plenty of power and gets the job done. Did a ton of research and reviews on which brand to get. We found out the commercial lawn care people use either echo or Stihl. These are made specifically for commercial use. I've heard people who has echo/Stihl that are 25 to 30 years old and still working. We almost fell for the Ryobi/Honda but I think Honda only makes 4 stroke string trimmers and it's heavier. You want to use lightweight string trimmers. Pro tip to make it last long as possible. Use the correct ratio for oil and gas. Make sure to use fuel stabilizer. Also when you don't use it during winter make sure you get all the oil and gas mixture out of the gas tank before storing it.
Thank you for these comments, it will help me in choosing righ equipment for my needs.Many thanks from Canada !!
Your welcome!
My favorite is the Echo PAS 2620 because I have the Echo PAS 2620. I have a trimmer and edger now with more attachments on my Christmas list. Plus the PAS 2620 has more power
Just purchased the PAS 225 today. I almost got the SRM 225. I did not know the difference nor did the guy at big box stores ( he was new) I just figured it's a bit more money so I threw in the towel and got it. PAS Eureka when I got the right model. Shoot I almost got Ryobi because of multitool feature. Yell out loud I got the right tools.👍
That's awesome! I'm glad you got the right tool for you.
Thanks for the info.. I just brought the PAS 225 system. I have been using Exho for 25 yrs. I still have SRM3100 Trimmer that is 22 yrs old
WoW!! Nice!
Question. I just bought a pas 225 and it started leaking oil out of the muffler. Did this happen to you?
Most helpful review ever for me, thank you!
I got my PAS 225VP with the edger for $225.00. The PAS has plenty of power to run the edger, blower and hedge attachments. My 4cycle Ryobi would have to work 10 times as hard as the 225 especially running attachments. Don't buy into 4 cycle engines, they run really hot and wear out faster. I was weed edging the yards I do before I started using the edger attachments which makes it a lot easier, I only had one yard where centipede grass overran the edging and sidewalks which i thought my slow my 225, however it cut right through at very low rpm no issues. I'm not saying you should buy the 225VP because it's dependent on the size of your lawn business and how much wear and tear you put your equipment through. I only mow neighbors yards that are in walking distance around 20 yards, well 21 I just pick up one yesterday but my use of the 225VP as far as weed eating and edging is minimal because most of the customers don't want those two trimmings every mowing. I was using the Toro high wheel personal pace Recycler but it's a more lower budget residential mower with cheaper parts especially the tiny air filter. I upgraded and bought the Toro black edition personal pace Super Recycler with the Honda engine which is their mid grade residential mower that has more commercial parts like a bigger and better quality air filter, bigger gas tank, xast aluminum deck and better quality wheels. It does a wonderful job mulching and bagging is wonderful to. I was going to buy the hedger attachment but I prefer using my electric hedge trimmer instead. The blower attachment I won in a drawing but don't use it because I have a really good craftsman blower i like that has different attachments to change the air flow for precision blowing. I sold my backpack blower because I have had back surgery and I find it very discomforting to wear, ghe craftsman is lite and gets the job done without wearing my back out. The bottom line is the 226 does have more CC but the 225VP isn't no slouch either and CCs are overrated under certain situations. I use mine with a brush saw blade with no hesitation on the engine or cable, i suppose the real wear would be from edging over all especially if you run the blade into the concrete curbside, yes I've watched many professional ysrd crews beat the curd with the edging attachment. The 225VP does exactly what I need it to do and I know I'll get a great lifespan with that product.
Echo is all I will ever own awesome equipment
Nice thing is that the attachments are usable on either accept for a few power attachments that the 2620 can use that the 225 cannot use. My 225 crapped out due to a cracked head, I ordered the 2620 today instead of the 225 because I needed more power to deal with centipede grass over curbing that the 225 had trouble tackling here in Texas. Also my pole saw attachment lagged with the 225 especially cutting mesquite, I'm pretty sure the 2620 will give me the power for that.
So is the 2620 driving the pole saw much better then the 225?
Fyi: I'm looking to buying one but need one that can use the pole saw strong enough
I like this stuff because since echo doesn’t make a Curved shaft 2620 You can pretty much put any engine with anything with this system
I’m a home owner with a lot of acreage, and I’ve been thinking about getting this system. To me, it seems heavy but I’m not used to commercial products. I’m just wondering why you don’t use this system all the time if you like it so much. Is it just too heavy when using the hedge trimmer? I also hear it vibrates a lot
I have similar attachments on my 2620 and I love it. 💘
I’m thinking of getting this and was wondering if you could tell me if it vibrates a lot? I’ve heard older reviews from 3 or more years back and that seemed to be a complaint
@@Theyralltakenfu no, it doesn't vibrate a lot. She runs smooth.
@@theunkownmr.562 Thanks for the feedback
Subscribed. The pas the the way to go. Great video.
I have been looking at the PS 225 and the SRM 266. The 225 is 21.2cc and the 266 is 25.4cc. However the 266 is not attachment compatible. Have you ever found the 225 to be under powered for just weed trimming and using the hedger attachment? Both are the same price and so I am wondering which one to get. Thank you for your time
I really like the PAS 225. It is lite and while it can get bogged down in tall thick grass does really well in normal trimming conditions. It also runs the hedge trimmer attachment without a problem. The PAS 225 is also much liter than the SRM 266. So if it was me, I would go with the 225 all day long.
Thanks for the video
You’re welcome!
Is the PAS 225 strong enough to edge a yard that has grass and dirt overlapping the concrete? I have a ryobi string trimmer and edger attachment but it is not strong enough to edge the ladder problem. I always find my ryobi string trimmer vibrating when I try to edge thick grass with dirt.
Yes, it should be strong enough to edge an overgrown sidewalk, however you will probably have to take it a bit slower than say an ECHO 2620.
Can I use PAS 225 engine with the straight shaft edger? Some day that it may overspeed the engine and cause failures.
Great video
Thanks!
I have a? Do u use the 50.1 fuel with out ethanol..or do u use the mix in the little bottle with gas...
I use the Red Armor Oil from ECHO. Just so you know, ECHO runs every single engine before they box it up and ship it out and in their testing they do not use non ethanol fuel while testing because they know most people aren't going to run ethanol fuel in their stick equipment. So if you're running stihl I would recommend the best stihl oil and if you running ECHO I would recommend the best ECHO oil which is Red Armor.
Can I use my attachments from my old ryobi? I mean are They compatible?
No, I am not aware of a combination system on the market today that is interchangeable with another brand.
You need to modify the ryobi attachment to make it work with Echo power head. There is a video on CZcams explaining that.
Echo Pas 2620 awesome!
So, my new pas 225 is awesome.
I was wondering if your trimmer line stops right when you let off the gas? Or does it spin down to a stop?
Wondering if that's normal in a new unit (less than 5 hours on it.
It keeps spinning. It is annoying but it seems to be normal.
@@LansingLawnServiceLLC mine stops right away. Figured it wasn't supposed to and you just confirmed something is wrong
@@2010stoof actually no, trimmers are not suppose to keep spinning. Yours is fine, mine is the one with the problem.
@@LansingLawnServiceLLC ok thanks. Reading alot about these 225 units and about bad carbs and exhaust spitting oil everywhere. Mine has a little but I've seen some really bad ones
I need a good edger.
Echo are great just don’t forget regular maintenance and fuel stabilizer and if by any chance it’s starts failing it’s more likely the carburetor just replace that and it’s good to go.
Where did you get the articulating head? I need one for my pas225, but on Amazon, it’s $350!! I just bought the weed wacker for $279.
Home Depot!
@@jamessisco6445 how much was it?
@ca31 I got mine for $279
@@jamessisco6445 yea, that’s the price on echos website, so we will be buying it from there.
Per echo the curved edger or any curved is designed for the 225 . 2620 needs strait shafts
I use the curved shaft edger with my 2620 and it works great.
@@LansingLawnServiceLLC But do you use the straight shaft edger with your PAS225? Home Depot site says no.
@@LansingLawnServiceLLC what's the difference between the 2 functionality wise? Straight and curved
@@ADKfreeman I’m not sure if your talking trimmers or edgers so I’ll answer both. Curve shaft edgers use a cable system to turn the edger blade. A straight shaft edger uses a steal rod to turn the edger blade. For trimmers it is the same issue plus a curved shaft trimmer causes the operator to have to lean over more than a straight shaft. Both are good but you will get more power out of straight shaft than curved shaft.
@@LansingLawnServiceLLC exactly what I needed to know. Ty sir
Stihl's Kombi heads are heavy with high compression
Way too heavy, loud, gas guzzling, and high maintenance. Get the Milwaukee battery powered quik lok system and never look back. And yes, even for commercial use.
If it works for you that's great. Personally I like the power of the gas powered equipment.
Frank George I highly doubt you can run a brush blade efficiently with a battery operated trimmer . sounds like playtime crap. I'll stick with gas power
I can't imagine any lawn care pro in their right mind running exclusively battery powered lawn equipment. That stuff is primarily targeted towards homeowners with light-duty levels of yard work who only use the equipment occasionally.
Not to come off as rude but how is 12.4 lbs "way too heavy"? If your just a home owner who needs something light duty I guess if it works it's fine.
I’ll say I started my lawn care business with the Milwaukee quik lok and was really surprised how much it was capable of. I’m talking acre’s of trimming, hundreds of feet of well overgrown edging, hedge trimming that bordered on tree pruning and it has held up great. The down side is you will invest as much or more in batteries to use this commercially with all of its attachments. I will probably be keeping my m18 because it is awesome for early morning work in subs with a home owners association but I have already transitioned into two stroke as it is a lot easier to manage super busy days you never have to worry about charge times. Still the Milwaukee does have its place and I wouldn’t say they are toys honestly they are not far from being a feasible replacement but until they can do a battery blower with 30-40 minutes runtime on the highest setting and increase battery power density it is still the more expensive and less efficient way to work. I wouldn’t doubt in the next ten years we see cordless that have more power then two stroke though especially with Dewalt changing the game with their new batteries. Oh yeah also I love the m18 pole saw and chainsaw I still use these over two stroke being a landscaper but I would still use my m18 chainsaw for light tree work no question and I’ve seen even nicer battery saws from stihl. Makita seems to be leading the charge in cordless OPE right now their combi system is absolutely amazing if it had been around when I got my m18 stuff I would have definitely reconsidered.
2620 makes no sense to me. I thought it was going to be so much better than the 225 or the 266 and it's not.
