- what's up everyone so I finally got to try out a husqvarna string trimmer and compared it to an echo string trimmer. here's my thoughts on the two trimmers
Go check out my buddy Adam's channel here / @thestuffedcowlawncare... - Розваги
I bought an SRM225 off my sister that bought a bunch of Echo equipment from an estate sale of a friend of hers and these pieces of equipment were either brand new or used once or twice. I bought one SRM225 years ago and returned it for the SRM 230 because it was so underpowered. I got into modifying the mufflers the past few years and found they gain a ton of power and run much cooler when you gut the catalyst out of the muffler. This SRM225 I bought off my sister, sounded way louder and ran way stronger than the PE225 edger she bought along with that SRM225. I took the muffler off to find it was lacking a catalytic converter from the factory when it should have had one. The thing has almost double the power the SRM225 I bought brand new in 2009. I did this to my SRM266 also, and that thing is a grass ripping beast after gutting the catalyst and retuning the high side mixture adjustment.
Can't believe I have yet to watch this video🤦♂. Nice video brother. I am a stihl guy and for lightweight daily use, I find it hard to beat the FS94r, I have 2 of them. I used to run the FS90R (possibly the greatest trimmer ever), still have it after 9 yrs, has a brush blade on it now. I have held a 225 in the store and it feels heavier than the FS94r to me. Hope to see more videos soon man, keep grinding and be safe out there! 💪😎💯
I work with echo and Husqvarna trimmer and lawnmower love them
Thanks, man. I've always used Stihl for the last 30 years but all of a sudden, neither Lowe's nor Home Depot carry Stihl any longer and instead, some dedicated yard service company does....and the last time I got a new pull string on my Stihl ...it took them THREE MONTHS to get it fixed so no more Stihls for me.
I like the torque you mentioned on the Husq. I think I'll try that so muchas gracias (that's Thanks a bunch" in Spanish, which I'm learning at the present time. Take it easy and thanks again.
Hey I'm glad I was able to help, tbh this husky was a very good option to go with. Good luck on learning more Spanish me amigo 😁
535ls or the 430ls are probably thr best overall for power and reliability. The 525 is great for medium use. It's smooth, quiet, medium/high powered, and easy to start.
Try a redmax 260ts. Same weight as the Husqvarna 525lst and same high torque gear head also as the 525lst. I've used the redmax for three years now daily ad never been to a shop and so light . Like 10 pounds
Nice review 👊 That trimmer is around 6 years old and hasn't been to the shop except for abuse, we've dropped a tree on it one time and Caleb ran it over once, both times it did have to have the shaft replaced but it keeps going.
If you want bigger than I would try the ECHO 3020, that thing is a beast and it has the widest cutting width when you leave the guard on than any other trimmer out there.
It has 1.8hp. The 535LS has 2.15hp
If you have been using one brand for so long, it's hard to change it up. I like my echo's too. Have you tried the 2620T? That is my go to now and the 225's are back ups. Great video Jon!
I’m a big fan of the Echo 225 for everyday use. Would like to someday get a heavy duty trimmer brush cutter like the SRM-410. I believe the power head is 42.7cc.
Can I get a subscribe
Love the video!
Solid!! 🔥
I love my echo, but this looks like a good weed eater. Excellent comparison.
I have the echo 2620 and I like it a lot more power than the other one
Husqvarna makes great stuff. I have a husky weed eater and a backpack blower, and a chainsaw they all works great.
Good stuff bro
That’s a nice mustang homie
Great video!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Which husqvarna model were you using in this video?
I am echo guy and 2620T definitely way to go if you do commercially, unfortunately there some people don’t like echo because they are heavy so if you have problems with that then go with husqvarna 525LST it also good to go and would be my 2nd choose.
I did alot of apartment complexes solo, I needed the lightest trimmer I could get and my huslter dealer and exmark dealer (I ran both if those mowers) both sold echo so I just wanted to go to one stop shop and be done
I recently switched back to Echo myself. I also have a 225, which is stronger than the Husq 322 which I was using. So I prefer the Echo now. BUT, I also have a Husqvarna 535 at 35cc and that sucker has some torque! I'll be doing a video with it this year because I got an oversized brush cutting head designed for larger displacement trimmers. I'll let you know, or you can just watch that video when I make it. It will tell the tale on how that big 2 horsepower trimmer does the rough stuff.
I help my buddy cut some yards on the weekends and he's got a Husqvarna 122LK trimmer and I like this thing pretty well. It's not bad. Granted I've not really had my hands on a large number of different weed trimmers to really be doing any comparisons. I can't remember which model it was but some years back I purchased a little cheap ass Echo weed trimmer and honestly it was kinda a beast for the price lol(it was the cheapest Echo weed trimmer walmart carried at the time) It handled everything I needed it to and some of the places I had to cut required some extensive long periods of time I was running that thing wide open and dude held up like a champ. I've had some trimmers that after you get those things running so hot and then have to stop cause you ran out of gas or something they simply said NOPE when you tried to fire the thing back up until it really had a long break lol
Yep, I've had my fair share of those types of trimmers as well lol. I'm currently running a cheap trimmer from Walmart it's a hyper tough brand, and I absolutely love it. I've been beating on it pretty hard for a while now and still really impressed with it so far
@@JonsDailyHustle haha I swear that's the same one I've got at the moment too lol. I hadn't really tried out much of anything from Hyper Tough until I purchased this weed trimmer 2 years ago and honestly mines been great too., I think I gave like $118 for it or something like that.
@terrancepemberton4648 I did not expect the trimmer to do as well as it has lol. Thought it would last only a few cuts and be junk. I was just looking today and they are priced right at 118$ for me now as well. Still, 118$ is a very great price lol
@@JonsDailyHustle right lol. I really didn't have high expectations for my weed trimmer at first but it's been great. But yeah I'd definitely say at $118 it's a great value. Hell something at that price if you manage to get thru 2 to 3 summers just cutting your own lawn then I'd say you've more than gotten your money's worth. My only complaint with it(as well as basically ALL weed trimmers) is I wish my shaft was a bit longer...*cough...I mean my weed trimmer's shaft 😂 Cause I'm on the taller side(well I'm 6'1) and If they made the shaft a mere 2 to 4 inches longer my back would GREATLY appreciate it!! I have sciatica that flares up from time to time and swinging a weed trimmer around for long periods of time kills my back!! No way in hell would I ever buy one with a curved shaft either, but still wish the straight shafts were a bit longer.
You can see he difference in cutting power with the Huskvarna.❤
Just like my brother-in-law been landscaping for 35 years and his house is the last one to ever get trimmed. It’s like working at Carvel. Last thing you want is ice cream when you get home.
Lol that's very true, I hate mowing my own yard lol
Husqvarna 525l is by far the best I have a Husqvarna 525l and a 7 year old echo pas 225 and a shitty Husqvarna 128ld I tell you how to get the 525 to start up fast is prime it 3 times and if it's hot outside I noticed mine starts on the first pull
I love my 525 I been wanting to switch over but coming from a 128 to the 525L man I feel in love at first use lol hell if they have one stronger than the 525 L I’ll buy it but I’m kinda hooked on that husqvarna I want to try stihl or echo but I’m hell bent on the husqqq lol
The 525LS is way beyond that 225 lol no comparison. The 225 was the first weed eater I ever owned, but moved to mostly Husqvarna. 225 is homeowner though to be fair. A better comparison in power would be the 2620.
2620's are nice units but damn heavy. 525's are my go to for years now
Echos are more heavy duty with more steel in the engine I think, takes longer to warm up, tougher to pull, but starts right tf up on the first pull
Great video man you should try echo 3020 or Stihl fs131 there heavy tho.
Fs94 is good for a light weight trimmer but I love my 2620T great for everything
@Littles Lawn Care I definitely want to give the bigger trimmers a try in the future for sure. I don't necessarily need one yet as I don't do a lot of thicker stuff
@@JonsDailyHustle I would try the 2620T it’s not really heavy but it’s got alot of power and torque
Well this comment might take y’all a step backwards but here goes I bought a trimmer and it was the Husqvarna and I have a desk job but now I work from home 😢no big money so our governor in Floriduh Florida where everyone seems to think they where landscapers because they had trailers and lawn equipment and all you would hear from 7am to 10 pm was power tools lawn equipment etc.,now it’s normal for real I said that it wasn’t normal before all that being said 😮I found it easy and pleasurable although it’s so hot I feel like I’m walking on the sun 😅lol also people will be buying condos and houses put together with soaking wet moldy wood.
What. No Husqvarna.... lol. You will turn to the good side of the force ..soon. tip the Husqvarna had a 2 step cold start. Start up fast. Lift upbthe blue chok prime pull one time let die. Push blue tab back in pull one time starts right up. I still have my 225 ps echo. Was my favorite. Was... lol. Good show..
Echos are very tough, and super powerful with high compression ratios.
11.2 without guard on 225 and the commercial husky 525ls is 10.4. That small 225 echo is 1 lb heavier. I had to look cuz i feel that extra pound on my 225 over my 525ls. Echo are some of the heaviest out there. Then add the weight of ur gorilla on top of that. i have a small scale to weigh mine. u should get u one and compare with that gorilla thing . but yea the 225 has no power. it is a homeowner trimmer though to be fair. try 525lst or least echo 2620t. but 2620t is super heavy. sorry bud i can talk trimmers for days lol
Hey Jon.... Hope all is well I haven't seen you post in a year!
Hey brother, it's been an eventful last 2 years. I was actually thinking about making a follow up video. Alots changed since then. We'll catch up soon. Hope all is well with you and your family
@@JonsDailyHustle okay my friend … hope things are well! Would love to hear from you
Howd the hypertough strimmer do
So far it has done great, I will continue my videos starting tomorrow (Thursday) and then after that my long term review of it will go up in another week or so
Biggest is echos 410X. With handle bars
Need some new content. Are you still in the game and ready to go for 2023?
What's up bro. I'm probably gonna get back on youtube and catch everyone up with my life, alot has changed
You good man? Haven’t seen anything from you in awhile
It's been a rough 2 years. I'm actually planning to get back on and make a video update and catch up with yall. Alot has changed
@@JonsDailyHustle sorry to hear that man. Looking forward to it
I've used echo and want to try different brands
@Joey Glascook same, I like trying nee things. This husky was a descent one. I'm looking at changing things up myself this year
I've had my echo for 7 years and thinking about upgrading to the husky 130l
love my husqvarna and redmax i highly doubt ill ever buy another new stihl. love stihl but the weight aint worth it
@Hazardra Outdoors yea that's a big thing for me to. Ironically one of my sthl dealers here is my exmark dealer that I will no longer do business with lol
@@JonsDailyHustle lol dont blame ya
Upu lill the longevity of the engine and strain the gear in the end of the shaft when you run 30" of string out. Its like towimg 10klbs all the time when your vehicle is rated at 6k. You do you
Yep, time is money lol
How much are you making a year? roughly
Probably somewhere between $0 and $2.7 billion.
@@josh47807 spot on!
Not enough thanks to uncle Sam 🤣🤣🙄🙄😭😭😭
@@josh47807 😂😂... I just bought an srm 225 as my first ever weed eater and I love it so far!!!
FS130
I just returned my second Echo to HD, worked like a charm the 1st 5 times then would take enough time to dislocate your shoulder trying to get it started. Garbage at best!
I have the 525l and like it as it is light weight but they don't like to be turned up to edge sidewalks ... Other than that it's a beast..
I agree
WOW nice video kabayan hello FROM Philippines Walker 👣🏃🏃🚶📹🎥.
Brother stick with echo I have Husqavarna 525LS and the Stihl’s fs90 and fs110 trimmers I’m from Miami fla we beat our trimmers none stop here and our echos hold up much more we use Echo srm225 and 2320T and srm2620 all these trimmers echo trimmers break down way less.now the Stihl 4mix trimmers are a nightmare they start losing power you have to adjust valves just a real pain the 525LS give us alot of problems with hot starts when there hot or warm there a real pain to restart them throttle cables constantly breaking there just very flimsy trimmers they run well but when they run so my advice stick with echos.or Maruyama trimmers there just very expensive and heavy
What about stihl FS 56 and FS 70 ?
Ya that husky cut faster and stronger than the echo. Almost 7cc difference def can see it
