This was last year. It was $150 per day or 8 hours

If you're asking me, I've used the echo 2600 for almost three seasons now with the string trimmer and hedge trimmer and it's great you just have to factor in, You're going to need a lot of batteries to run it that get through the whole day compared to just using half a gallon of gas for the 2620 or less per day. That would be the main concern. 2600 has plenty of power, not the same as a 2620 but close

This setup works great. I've had it for 4 years now. The most important thing when putting this setup together is a rear roller. I had the roller mount bend to the point where I couldn't use it twice before I put together the one I have now it works but it's not great.

@@sololawnprofessionalok I’ll remember that 👊🏼🫡

Thanks for taking the time to watch my video. This setup works pretty well, especially when working by yourself. Before I put all this together, I did use the load handler to unload the trailer. It worked fine for wood and rocks but it didn't work well for me, unloading leaves. I did have a short wall attached to the load handler but I still couldn't get it to work. Let me know if you've had a success. Unloading leaves with a load hander.

You can get fairly decent run time but have to use the 5.0 battery and now the blower is heavy. My one main gripe about the battery blowers and this is all manufacturers. The performance numbers are misleading because now they give you high CFM but low airspeed and without the air speed you don't have anything. From my experience, the battery blowers blow leaves better than grass clippings. I bought the new Echo eForce 5800 and with one 5.0 battery it weighs 20 lbs and it has pretty good run time, if you're conservative with the throttle but if you're going to use it like a real backpack blower for work, it's going to need three batteries and weigh 35 lbs.

@@sololawnprofessional Thx for the input. I'm pushing 80 and weight of equipment matters a lot if I'm using equipment with one hand and don't have a shoulder strap all the time. I know I can get one and that might take care of the problem, but the lower weight of the gas models are a big plus when your old with arthritis. And I have ear muffs for the loud noise. But I do like my battery Green Works lawn mower. Had a 80v Kobalt that was fantastic until the pc board burned up last year and they don't sell replacements. So battery powered stuff is not always care free. And they probably won't dell parts for any of this battery equipment 5 years down the road. So my gas 26 year old Echo blower sure has done well for it's bang for the buck. But for about the same weight, I can get twice the power in one of these new models.

I got this second hand. It had a really nice b&s with electric start It was smoking really bad. Unfortunately, the predator is not as powerful as what was on there to begin with, but still works perfectly fine.

@@sololawnprofessional Thanks! Nice to know that the DR motor can be replaced with Predator if necessary. Any major problems with the repower project?

I bent the main pulley pretty bad using the puller but Dr Trimmer sells the pulley that I needed must be a common problem. I replaced the engine 8 years ago.

The high torque gear box will definitely improve the 2100 but it would never fix its shortcomings. The cutting out when it hit something hard and it being too short

I've been using mine for 2.5 years now and I haven't had any problems with it. I would unplug the charger take out the battery, then plug the charger back in and then install the battery. It clicks and then the light starts blinking. If it doesn't do anything I would just return it.

This is just a demonstration of the equipment. At the time the battery blower was the only thing available. There was no battery backpack blowers

@@sololawnprofessional no i meant petrol blower back pack blower , they are big and heavy , but powerful.

I know what you meant but I was just meant there wasn't a comparison at the time but I own all the blowers Echo makes from the weakest to the most powerful. ua-cam.com/video/bq729_RAnZg/v-deo.html

Echo e-force 2100 and it will last about 20 minutes or so with the 2.5 battery

This has been edged 40 times. There's no need to hurt yourself with a shovel when this can do it in 20 seconds

Every plant I dig up I keep for myself, they do not go in the trash

ua-cam.com/video/H0c72t8xVuo/v-deo.html I don't know if this video will help. Let me know if this is your issue or not.

I have 4 batteries for the trimmer I use them everyday for the past 2 1/2 seasons. I've had no problems. I charge them on the slow charger, I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I don't let them get rained on. I don't let them freeze. I don't let them get too hot. I keep them in a cooler if it's going to be one extreme or the other. I've been very happy with the eforce equipment.

No need for gloves. It's part of the experience

​@@sololawnprofessional more power to you 😅

Thank you, I appreciate it

I've been stung multiple times since I do lawn care and this is the time frame is when they appear in my area so I'm always on the lookout. I've sprayed three ground nests so far this month.

2600

First thing to do is pull off the fuel lines. Press the purge button and feel if you have any vacuum. If you do I would reattach the lines. Pull the fuel filter off and see if you can feel if you vacuum there.

@@sololawnprofessional Okay, I will try that. Thank you very much.

@@sololawnprofessional It was weird, when I put the new carb on and had everything set, the bulb filled when I primed it. It ran okay, but I wanted to tune it a little better with the high-low screws (not a good idea) I've never done that and believe I made it worse because I can't get it to idle. It runs with some throttle, and runs good, but dies instantly when letting all the way off the throttle. So I've been trying to get it to stay running. The other day I went to try it again and it wouldn't prime, it was getting air, no fuel was going into the ball. I just took it all apart to check the fuel line, it seems to look good, but it's all apart now. I was going to order another kit and install another new one. I will try your suggestion, thanks again.

Thanks for your comment but I'm just maintaining what was already there.

1% strength sodium hypochlorite (bleach)

That would probably work but it may just take the leaves off and leave the vine.

I do lawn maintenance full-time. You should stick with a regular push mower and string trimmer if you want to charge people money. A walk behind string trimmer can obviously cut grass and trim but it's not an all-in-one machine to replace a lawn mower. For the cost of this trimmer, you could buy a really nice push mower and a really nice commercial string trimmer and a hand blower to go with it.

The 2600 is excellent. I've used it everyday for the past 2 1/2 seasons as a string trimmer. I use the 2100 to trim bushes. It's great for that. The echo 2620 is a better trimmer overall, but nowhere as nice to use as the 2600 so my 2620 just sits. If you're talking about the batteries themselves, I've had no trouble with them at all. I use 5 batteries a day with the trimmer and the backpack blower.

Thank you Sandy, I appreciate it

You have to spray the nest. You can't just spray a hole in the ground that doesn't work. They'll just keep coming, As soon as you expose the nest and spray it down. There'll be nothing left of them.. I just used it the other day. It works great. This is the best product.

I personally have not had any problems with the mower lift damaging the mower. Also, I lift the mower deck up real slow before I lift the machine so it doesn't slam into itself. I do know that some mowers require a different hook to lift them, so you should investigate if you're thinking about buying one of these. Also, I think the jungle Jim's has a better design than the Ballard version. Just in the ease of lifting the mower, they do the same job, but I definitely think the jungle Jim's is better.

That's a great idea,but this tree is still alive and well even though it doesn't look that way.
