I just returned my 525l… it was PERFECT BUT it had a fatal flaw. Power was great, super light and ergonomic etc. the problem was that in dusty/dry climates the filtration system simply fails. After 3-4 hours of weedeating here in the Sierra Nevada mountains (dry dirt, tall weeds) the filter will begin to fail and dust particles pass through it and enter into the housing behind the filter. This could result in scored pistons and cylinder. Basically it would be destroyed. Too bad, I loved it! Stihl has it figured out on their filters for this climate. ** edit** I put around 30 hours on this in testing.
@@ryanalam5669 This filter isn’t one that is to be oiled.. and echo is the same way actually. On one of our professional model handle bar units we have to change the pre filter out every few hours and main filter about every 4
I bought a 525LK, after around 10 hrs of residential use, it wouldn't start the next time I tried to use it. I brought it back to the dealer, bad carburetor $110 to replace, I said, it's 3 months old ! that went nowhere......10 Emails back and forth with Husqvarna...that went no where. 6 months later...won't start, back to dealer, $40 to repair carburetor...I didnt even bother trying the "warranty"...F Husqvarna. It has been running good since (3-4 months), we'll see
@tonyslawncare it is still doing well. I'm guessing (!) It's 3 months since repaired 6-7 since original carburetor replacement. I only use it 2x/month, 3-4 hrs at a time, and it has been working very well. I purchased the hedge trimmer attachment last week and trimmed (heavy) for ~4 hrs, worked great !
tony great tips i got the 129l its heaver thin that one and not a pro model just a consumer model and im not using it every day for a business just in my back yard and using it to trimmer my elderly nabors yards but it works great so fare i bought it to replace my Kawasaki motor 22 cc tanaka that finely carped out on me i used the 129l in tell i could get the parts to fixs my tanaka the husqvarna 129l it did have a few problems at first i took it back to the shop were i bot it and it was out of tune it does still stall out a bit and only ideals for a min or to then kicks out and the thing is a gas hog over my 22cc model tanaka but i had to replace the hose's and clean the carb and fixs the on and of switch to my tanaka and the trimmer head just in 4 years of using it great video i just want to share you my problems with my machinery this year
i bought one of these at a pawn shop looked new once it got hot it would,nt run. Took it apart and the carb gasket was sitting sideways with only one bolt holding it on. Removed carb an put gasket on like its suppose to be now it runs great no problems Dont know how gasket was installed like that.
Also as a knew guy getting started, I have so many questions. Things like how to receive payment. Check and cash definitely obvious. But these days lots folk use debit card. What's the industry's preference? Obtaining a license in Georgia, If I get a license can I go into Alabama. It's 9 min from my house..I could go on and on. Oh and how do you keep a good supply of ice? We have to stay hydrated. Are you just buying bag ice each day, I like have a nice commercial ice maker. But they so expensive. Sorry for the bombardment of questions.
Good deal on the whip fix. The km130 must have felt like carrying a load of bricks that week. My daily whip is a stihl 94r and when I grab my km110 kombi it is a great reminder how light the 94r is.
Just bought a 525L today and I've got a serious blister from trying to start it. I run pre mix so no problem there, when it finally started it ran 8 mins maybe then died. Had to wait awhile before it would start again. Not happy, gonna try and talk to customer service at Husqvarna.
Thank you Tony. I figured out the little filter inside the tank had came apart and it was letting air into the line. One of your videos helped me figure that out. Thanks for bodly representing Jesus. I know he's the only reason I stand here writing this, by his grace alone.
This must have been a rookie move but my 525L throws everything right at me. I’m right handed and stand to the left which is the way it spends. Learning to right standing and it’s a world of difference.
I bought the same trimmer today at Lowe’s and although it works great the throttle doesn’t seem to rev when I squeeze it in properly. It’s like I don’t need to use the throttle because it’s powerful enough to trim on idle. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
I got this trimmer at Loews 4 months ago and I love it however it got heavy after some time when I would edge and then I got a echo pe-2620s and now I have my perfect set up!
Tony hope you and you're family are doing well, had a question ,I have a redmax ebz 3060 ts but the ignition coil went out ,do you know if it's compatible with other models ,
Hey Tony does this Husqvarna 525L more powerful then a echo SRM 280 because my echo just gave out after 10 yrs of use and I was thinking of getting a Husqvarna 525 L from my local Lowe's store .
Ive never used a 280 but the husky does have great power you may look into the husqvarna 525LST i want to try one of those and its only a few dollars more online
Hey Tony, New guy here. I noticed your weed eater had what looks to be a square block around your shaft. Curious what that is. I initially thought it may be something to counter bounce the weed eater. Then thought maybe go pro mount. Not sure you will even see this. Thanks in advance
Great video. I miss my Husky 323L. Light nice power and did great. I hate trimmers. I run the crap out of them and junk them. No matter what brand. The new ones all suck. I'm using a Hitachi right now and love it. It's longer than all the other trimmers and light. So for talk guys it works great.
Very good trimmer. Light weight, pretty darn powerful, reliable, easy on fuel and definitely not the loudest that I run. I love my 525L as much as my Stihl FS-250R and Stihl KM-94R trimmers. The Husqvarna feels like it has a bit more power and torque than the KM-94R but it's really close. You can't go wrong with any of the three mentioned trimmers. They are all beastly and reliable.
Thats the way your supposed to move when u trim. I've been running a 32 2 L for the last two years and it's been a great trimmer for $175 refurbished you can't beat it.
What can be wrong when i start today the husqvarna 525l i give a little gas it start shakeing the head bump in up to the hand handle in i give more gas it just shakes the head bump

Ive had the 94r its a great trimmer mine is the 525L which i do like better than my 94r the Lst model will be alittle heavier than the L but more torque and all that the LST would destroy the 94r power wise
Sorry tony,but @ 1.50 -1.55 you’re reving the snot out of the trimmer and it’s in the air. Not even trimming with it. And you don’t need full power to trim that property. It’s super well maintained. 1/4 throttle is all that’s needed. So after viewing the vid and seeing how you rev the trimmer. The jury declares you guilty.( Of breaking the throttle cable) You can’t put this one on husky.
Fair point but here in ga that grass is thick for sure thicker than it looks on video but i love the trimmer i use it everyday and dont plan on changing it👍 thanks for watching buddy
I've been having a few problems of mine the other day it just didn't want to start and I only bought 2 months ago I pulled the filter out cleaned it got it started finally but it was really really hot that Day 2 but it's been starting just fine for me lately
So I have the 525l it starts fine it runs fine but after it gets a little hot and I kill it for a second it doesn't want to start right back up it eventually does start up after five or six p u l l s and I had loaded it in the van and I'd smelled gas one day I figured out it was coming from the weed eater pulled the filter cover off and found that the filter had a little gas on it I replace the filter a few days later ran it the same thing happen does anyone know what this could be? I got it last season
@@tonyslawncare I did that and no leak..I asked someone else and they suggested that it may be vapor lock and to unscrew gas cap when it does it and it worked!!
@@nonenone8819the gas cap has a vent in it to release pressure from inside the tank. When you unscrew the cap the tank is not pressurized so it can pull fuel again. Maybe just a faulty gas cap.
Yep a guy sell it to my friend in bought it from him the only husqvarna weed eater i have its the one 128ld but the problem i give it gas in it dies do you what can be the problem am going it fix
@@tonyslawncare throttle cable and trigger breaking .primer has very short life -too many carb issues to count. love the light weight but it comes at a cost. cheap components. these are not true commercial duty
@@super20dan i guess we are both having some issues then. I need to put a new carb on mine now i think. Ive ordered a redmax 230ts to try aswell its lightweight
@@tonyslawncare at least the carbs are cheap. i switched to maruyama and tanaka trimmers. execellent quality but weak parts support. i have no redmax dealer anymore
*Great trimmer plenty of power easy on fuel 🌴 **allabout.wiki/Husqvarna** and not as heavy as a Honda but has a great Honda engine, wish I would have purchased a long time ago.*

Bro thanks for watching i subbed too🙂👍
@@tonyslawncare thanks man, I made some Bradley videos. I know you were interested in them. Saw you do a video on Bradleys before I bought them.

I stand on the right maybe you are doing it right lol
Tony's Lawn Care thank you for responding.👍🏼
I wish I had seen this video before I got my 525L but so far so good
Its a great machine i still have mine. Id like to try the LST too!
You are a surgeon with that trimmer!
I broke down and bought a Stihl edger this year as my edging with my string trimmer was ugly!
I got you buddy all it takes is a little practice though
Very nice! Always appreciate a master weed eater! Haha
Your so nice thank you for watching!
You've got some serious edging skills! What brand of pants are you wearing? I'm trying to find some cooler pants...this summers been hot.
Bro thank you so much! Thanks for watching they are megellan from academy sports!
@@tonyslawncare thank you.
Great CHANNEL
How do you change the spark plug??
Thank you buddy just remove that grey cover over it and change it while the engine is cold not hot thats important

Not sure about that one lol
iv been weed wackn for years and have never used it upside down 1st time i seen someone do it not sure if its needed
You mean for edging? Sure its needed to get that straight up line

@@tonyslawncare Not this year. Hoping to do next year.
I'm on the fence about this one. There is a brand new one on FB market for 240.00 I would like to buy as a primary. So is it a good trimmer?

It’s good

I was just bummed that it broke
I wonder why the 525L engine is 24cc and the T230 is a 28 cc?
Power is never been an issue tho
25.4
my UK version of that when i turn it 90 to edge lawn i get covered in 2 stroke fuel what cause that it not fuel cap
