- This is a review on the new Husqvarna 525iLXT commercial battery powered line trimmer. A massive thank you to @husqvarna for #sponsoring this video by sending out this awesome bit of kit for me to keep and create content about. However my thoughts and opinions are always my own and I’ll always tell you if it’s good or bad. This just happens to be that bloody good!
Totally agree with your review. I’ve been running mine since Xmas and it’s just brilliant. Love the head and line feed system whereas I’ve always run speed feeds previously. It’s the light weight and balance that sets this machine apart. It’s a pleasure to use all day. Great review.
Hey Wade, thanks for watching and commenting mate. Stoked you are loving it also. 👍🏻
Nice review, I have been telling people for years the best brushcutter I've ever owned is the 535iRXT but not everyone can use the bike handles, this machine would be a great alternative, cheers
Thank you. Yeah you are right 👍🏻
How is your experience with the Ergo Feed?
I am about to pull the trigger on either the 535IRXT or the Stihl FSA200. Any ideas?
Thanks
@@fastchill So far its been great. both are top quality tools ad you won't go wrong with either. If you already have batteries and charges for one brand stick with that. Cheers
@@fastchill Having owned the 535iRXT since they came out 4 or 5 years, the Ergo feed is great and the original is still working today, from time to time that it doesn't engage you can manual release the cord easily , generally the cause would be wrapping the cord to tight around the spindle or some cord can be a bit sticky or grippy which doesn't allow the release , a quick fix could be loosely wrap cord around spindle or turn the power speed up on the brushcutter , it has 3 speeds and I generally only need it on speed 1, can help release the cord , but in saying that it works 99% of the time and is a great feature of the brush cutter, hope that helps any, cheers
I finally took the plunger and purchased this. Had to save alot to get it but couldn't be happier. The balance, power and quiet operation is an unbeatable combo. Very happy with my purchase and glad to see the back of my two stroke!
Yes! Nice work mate. Best battery snippy on the market 🤙🏻
How long will it actually run for? Not the advertised, but the real amount of time
@mad4tar77 very hard to answer that question accurately. Depends on loads of different things. But on average you get about the same as a tank and half or two tanks for petrol in something like the 525LSt as an example.
@lovelawns thank you
Sound, filming, and editing are all excellent along with the review content. The technical aspects of this production give viewers a great understanding of how this unit sounds in use which conveys the applied power in several settings, and also the balance for the operator and is supported with good angles of view/light to go with the sound. Good to know the 300's are available again, I have seven from 2018 still running strong and thought they had been removed from availability in favour of lower Ah models.
Thanks for the high praise! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
The professional presentation of your channel its bloody awesome . Love the Husqvarna gear as all my battery is with them . With 525 it's a dedicated whipper ? so unlike the previous model where you have the ability to change form whip to hedge to pole saw to edger etc is not possible ?? but that's ok so I am going to get that and use my multi with the other stuff for sure .
Mate just love what you have presented thank you so much !
Thanks for the kind comments Geoff, really appreciate the feedback! Yes the 525iLXT in this video is the dedicated whippy, they also have the 525iLK which is the multi tool version of this with slightly more power than the 325 and iPX4 rated. However, I’ve done what you are intending to do and have this as my whippy and now use the 2 325s that i have for all my other attachments. One lives with the blade edger and the other has the pole saw / long reach hedger on it now, works great. Less swapping around etc. Thanks again for watching mate 👍
I have one on the way. It should be here within a couple weeks.
I bought a 320 iL but that gave out on me within a week. It seems like a factory defect. They did a diagnostic and it didn't turn anything up but it continually shuts down and sometimes won't turn on at all. I am confident the 525 will be good though.
This is in a completely different league. You won’t be disappointed 👍🏻
Thanks for the video mate. Brilliant as always.
I just picked the 525iLXT today and I love it. More torque than the 325iLK I was using as my daily go to. Just such a pleasure to use these machines. Can’t rate Husqvarna high enough
Good choice! 👍🏻
Great review mate. 5kg with the battery is very light compared to the other battery trimmers. I’ve got the Ego stx4500 and it is 6.5kg with a 5.0ah. I love the power of it but if I wasn’t so invested in the Ego platform I would definitely purchase the Husqvarna trimmer.
Thanks mate. I also have the Ego STX4500 and really like that unit too. But it is heavy, as you say. Great power tho. Thats a very close second to this being my favourite trimmer. Some days I think i prefer that one and others its the Husqvarna. It’s weird, both are top of the game.
@@lovelawnsI thought Ego was at the bottom of your list from the review oof the trimmers previously.
Eg the battery was situated low and balance was not great and the string is to high on the head of the trimmer making it to angle more?
That was the older model Ego. This newer commercial model is much better.
@@lovelawns
Glad to see they are listening.
I use a heavier one for work for 3 years love this machine that and for shaving hedges pellenc absolutely top noch
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Big fan of Husqvarna equipment, most of my current equipment is Husqvarna. Unfortunately, the prices for this year in the UK are ridiculous!
Same everywhere for everything mate. Just keeps going up and up.
Really excellent machine, I've been using it a few months full time, but mine broke unfortunately and sitting in a shop for who knows how long until fixed. Bent shaft allegedly but I can't confirm, there's a rattling noise and vibration coming from the top of the shaft or inside the head near the motor somewhere.
Husqvarna warranty are usually very good. Hope you get it back quickly. Cheers.
Great review. Not available in the United States. Maybe soon? I don’t know. Husqvarna doesn’t seem to think of North America as a big market. They make me shake my head with their marketing decisions.
Also my 525iLST has a steel plate on the underside but it’s pretty thin steel. And I’m on the coast. It rusted in less than a year due to the salt air. Took it off.
Thanks mate. Hopefully you’ll see it soon over there. It’s a great bit of kit. Interesting point about the metal cover. I didn’t really think about that. I’m by the coast too as most people are in Australia so maybe that’s the reason it doesn’t come with one here? Although the ones on my petrol trimmers have never rusted so don’t know.
It costs twice as much as a 525iLST. Seriously how can they justify that? What do you think? 🤔
Never seen a 525iLST..? Price is what I would expect for this in the current climate. Cheers.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Excellent honest presentation ✅
Thanks mate 🤙🏻
Thanks mate… great vid
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
What is the difference to the iLK?
Dedicated trimmer, geared at the full time commercial user with a few subtle differences and a bit more power. 325iLK still highly recommended though. 👍🏻
Good review mate
Thanks 👍
I bought a unbreakable wired trimmer can the stringcomw off to mount it
Not sure to be honest mate. Cheers
Is there a noticeable power difference between 325i and 525i?
Not much mate, to be honest.
Why does he wear ear muffs?
Stop birds from flying into my ears and nesting, of course. 🤷
What is the use of bluetooth?
Allows you to connect to the Husqvarna fleet services app.
You must have shins of steel, trimming with those shorts!
Haha, solid steel bwoy, solid steel 🤙🏻
to bad i just brought a 525lst i just could not go battery on my trimmers
525lst is a great trimmer mate! Thanks for watching.
Battery life ?
Excellent
What is the app called for the Bluetooth
