The MOST SATISFYING OVERGROWN EDGING Job EVER (4" Of Overgrowth But This Tool Aced It)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 вер 2021
- Today Rob and I are edging the curb line at our personal property and getting the edge back in shape! Normally you see sidewalks and driveways that are this overgrown, but out here in the country the curb is where you have to focus on!
We're demoing the Golden Eagle edger blade on the ECHO 2620 edger. We bought the edger blade online for like $40, and holy cow, it's insane. I think it really shines here with ripping through the overgrown edge and putting down that fresh defined line.
I do have my reservations with using it in a subdivision though (it throws rocks!), but maybe a follow up video will be in the words as we can see what it's like when using it for our normal lawns. Enjoy.

![How to PERFECTLY Edge a Sidewalk EVERY time! [Flip Edge VS Edger!]](/img/n.gif)
Have you guys tried this product before? I think there’s some potential for sure, but man does it sure kick up some dirt and rocks!
I would get some rubber matting or mud flaps and make a guard to keep those rocks down in Subdivisions.
We use it and love it! We generally only have to break it out on a property once a month and we string maintain the rest of the time. DO NOT use on muddy edges, trust me lol.
Also, to beat the shallow issue I have my string man knock it back before I come through with the blade. You would think that would take longer, but it actually speeds the process up quite a bit.
I've had one for a few years and it's still going strong. I bought an extra one and still haven't needed it. It's really hard to believe that it's taken so long for you to try one.
Top Notch was given one to try, it can be wonderful on terrible edges, goes fast, does throw extra dirt.
Besides adult activities, there is nothing more satisfying than a fresh clean lawn edge!
Amen.
I found that its easier, dragging the edger backwards like a bed redefiner. It cleans out, and is easier to keep from jumping out of the crack.
That is exactly what I was getting ready to say we're trying to go on backwards that way you'll have to keep trying to find your groove
Mud flaps gonna fall off faster
You do get a better cut but the clean up is more
Been doing this myself, forward them backwards. Super crispy edges
@@mrcrunhunt worth it
Just started my lawn care and landscaping company Mow Bros in Gladwin Michigan thanks to you I crushed it first month starting u grossed 7k starting from nothing
Great video Brian, I found them on Brian’s channel from Top Notch lawn care, which made me get one when he does his overgrown properties and they are a game changer when cutting over grown edges! I highly recommend them!
I thought that it looked like carbide and checked out the link and found that I was right, that will cut through anything! I would be concerned about throwing rocks and at that price the life span of the tool. Great vid!
Fun fact: those "teeth" are cutting tool bits used for machining metal on a lathe. They're called cemented carbide bits. Basically a big piece of carbide brazed to a steel shank which the maker then welded that to a steel disc. Carbide is extremely hard but also very brittle so i would avoid hitting concrete when possible. Itll chip the carbide and wear it out faster.
It should have a thin steel disc on one side to protect the edge, and to use this disc to roll against the concrete.
Exactly! From the mind of a machinist! An old school carbide turning tool. I personally think the width of that tool doesn't make it attractive to me. I can cut out at least 10-20 of the slim style OEM blades on our water jet machine out of one sheet of steel, and complete that job much quicker and cleaner, IMO.
The amount of lawn care channels I've seen lately are astonishing. Never woyld of thought something like this would be so popular. You obviously do good work and I'm happy for anyone on yt like you. Definitely amazed by the following though
Always exciting seeing these tests! Nicely done, nothing like a fresh edge!
I’ve been running these for a few years now. They last forever and the edges look great.
Dude... That blade is a beast man... I need a few of those and I like the wider chanel it opens up it looks so much nicer. Good video Brian.. thanks for your time sir!
I prefer a more narrow channel
I have never seen an edger like that before. It is dusty but does the job. thanks for sharing with us.
I did this exact thing yesterday and the original blade worked way better. Makes it much easier if you run the first pass a little high the come back through deeper
Great job!! I like the neat edge♥️
Brian in my experience using the golden edger if you walk backwards it doesn’t kick out as much versus walking forward
That thing is more like a rototiller. You can edge and plant a garden with it.😀
I started using the Ballard Sabre edger blades and they are amazing! Way better than the standard blades.
Very interesting blade for shur. I use the gator blades. It has fins and it kicked the stuff out of the ditch. And I haven’t broke anything yet. Great videos keep up the good work.
Nice video. That thing looks sweet
Been using mine for 4 years now and i still got about 4 more years of use left easily. I think it’s called golden edge. I’m in Michigan and it’s perfect for our grass type
Great video love the golden edge
Wow that was amazing
I don't usually comment, but this blade is so good I thought I had to. I am 79 years old and still enjoy doing our lawn. We are in southern Alabama with centipede . I have had one of these blades for about four summers now and blade still good. There is a learning curve, but it leave a real clean cut. People are always asking how I do it. I have a Echo pas 225 and have hit my share of concrete and rock.I have found it works best not to lean it either way, just straight.If I were in the business I would have one on every edger. No I don't have a dog in this fight,just an old cogger trying to make it easier on the young folks.
I keep a golden edge on a pas attachment and use it on overgrown edges but you have to be extremely careful whats behind you. Ive had mine for about 3 years and it still works as good as the day I got it.
Lmao when you said “there goes a lawn bro” 😂😂😂❤💯💯
I’ll bet that will tear up some sprinkler heads on the curb or sidewalks.😂
Nice job guys
I love this edeger blade use it 100% of the time and my customers love the thicker edge it makes
Nice! Any issues with rocks flinging?
@@BriansLawnMaintenance not really once the edge is defined you really dont have to give it all the beans but when you are doing an overgrown edge you do have to be careful 😉 and mine last about a year
Funny, for myself I don’t know how I feel about that thick of an edge gap. Definitely chews away that overgrowth.
I have tried the Golden Edge and definitely only use it on overgrown edges.It is overkill for day to day use. It creates more cleanup work on a normal property.
Golden edge blade works amazing for overgrown stuff especially. But have to becareful it does shoot debris backwards about an extra 15 ft.
That looks like it’s better for edging mulch and flowerbeds and not sidewalks
The land needed it bro lol
Looks Good Brian
I think I would use the regular edger blade cause that blade could cause serious damage to anything and you don't want that 🤔.
normal blades tear up concrete fast enough
Yeah looks like it's doing a number on the concrete
Wow that worked good👍
Wake me up when Rob gets down towards the end. I like the blade, especially when the property is maintained. Saw something the other day, it had teeth the full circumference. Kind of like a sawblade. Can't remember the name of it. I think you can find them on Amazon. I was wondering how those would work for edging
Renegade Blade?
A shorter blade depth may require less torque allowing it to work with more edgers. Larger CC head units like your’s which are rated to push a bed definer could easily handle a longer blade depth. So, as you suggested a Golden Eagle Pro is a great idea.
I’ve always loved Walker mowers, would be great to see your review of one. Thanks for all the wonderful videos.
You make a good team.
Maybe get an extended guard to cut down on the rocks being thrown. Nice job! I would be impressed with lawn edges like that.
Wow !
Would be putting HUGE strain on the gearbox and bearing of the brushcutter
Yep! Echo edgers do the best job in my opinion.
I wonder if you could put the old style blade on with the Golden Eagle. Put the old blade in between the center of the Golden Eagle teeth.
I have one for a few years. It actually improves the drainage of my poorly designed driveway. It is a mess in the dry it is dusty and if it is real wet it throws mud clumps. Probably the best thing is to cut when dry but sprinkle the area a little first to hold down the dust.
Nice video. I don't think I'm a fan of the blade but it does look heavy duty.
I may get one!
Is that how Brian's Lawn Maintenance does it. Edge lawn and kick the scrap into the road! Let mother nature take care of it! LOL. Just having fun, keep up the good content.
Hey bryan lawn maintenance love watching your channel alot every day u are awesome UA-camr u put out awesome content on your channel say safe and healthy with your family i hope this will get better soon so we can get back to normal life soon u definitely my favorite UA-camr how is lizz your baby girl 😀
I've been running it for a few years with the same motor edger just in a PAS. It'll help if you put the wheel lower and just move a little slower. Full throttle & let the edger eat up the grass don't try and force it like in the video. It's not as light as a regular blade so it spins a little slower. But like you say, it shoots stuff way behind you. I'm probably going to get a small piece of rubber to bolt to the flap on the edger to help with debris being shot behind me. I've been running the same blade for almost a year and a half & am just now about needing to put a new one on. One more thing, be careful when you come up to the end of a sidewalk, it'll chip out the concrete if you're not.
Crispy or crunchy?
Just ordered this even though I won’t need it till next spring
What would you rather go with a 21 cc or a 25 cc for a weed eater if you’ve been mowing your whole life and want to start a business I just want a opinion or your thoughts
I know you didn't ask me. But i just went through that myself. I started with a srm 225. And it was great but having the 2620 now.... wish i wouldn't have wasted money on the 225
Always go for the bigger one if you can afford it. Especially if it's for a business
I love how much you guys love lawn care. Gets me excited to get out and work!
I use a serrated bread knife with a comfortable hand to cut back overgrown curb edge. It actually goes pretty quick. Then I'll run the edger with the flat blade as long as the soil is dry. Over time I will widen the gap.
Have you ever tried a walk behind edger?
Eh, I can't say I noticed any better of a performance from the Golden Eagle. Looks to be about the same amount of effort and time it'd take with a standard blade for edge transformation on something like Bahia. Granted, most of my yards in Florida are St. Augustine and grow more up than out, but I have difficulty imagining this product working at all for my purposes. I'll mow at 5.5", edge with a regular blade, and oftentimes still have to clean it up by "soft" edging with the weed-eater. That said, some of 'em are so fibrous that I *do* wish I could get a wider edge; I'd just need quite a bit more length than what this offers.
Golden Edge
Looks like you could use it for a bed redefiner too.
Any tips on edging asphalt?
Did you notice the engine bogging down? How was the wear on the teeth after doing that?
How waterproof and durable are those shoes?
Nice new product, nice to see traffic giving you room to work. In Florida you have to watch out every second for traffic that is just barely missing you! No one cares about the guy working on the side of the road
I'm wondering if that works for
Edging the flower beds ? 🤔
Mulch and grass ...
A Bed Edger Has 5 to 7 Of Those Carbide Tipped Fingers On It . So You Could Possibly Angle The Edger To Make That Work 👍
I have been using it for 2 seasons. I broke 3 windows with that thing it throws debris 40ft easy especially with a high power edger
In my opinion, when you have an edge thats overgrown like that you have better results with a walk behind edger.I don’t think it’s worth the money and it leaves an edge like you just ran a ditch witch through there. If you had a walk behind edger you would’ve been done with the job already,you’re working too hard with the stick edger.
Yeah for sure, a McLane edger with a 3HP Briggs on it would rip that a lot faster and cleaner. Put a star blade on it and rock it. Way less operator fatigue too. I had one with the optional set of curb wheels on it. A walk behind edger would do that in 1/2 the time or less. Really.
Which walk behind edger would you recommend for over grown properties like that?
@@johnmiller9602 any walk behind edger will do. If you watch the video they are really working themselves and the tool on cutting a new edge. If you have a walk behind edger there’s more weight to it and more control. And you don’t work as hard and you have a better result because it is not jumping around
@@jbsservicesllc8336 yes very true .but some had different blade designs so I didn't know which blade design is best for overgrown edges?
@@johnmiller9602 I use a regular single blade.
my toro has a angle lock so i can set the shaft at an angle and just hold it regulary
Definitely think it needs to be extended out but it rips....it would be great for those initial edging job that are bad....$40 that's a lot of regular blades.....part 2 after a down poor.👍
Wonder if it would b better to use a brd (bed redefiner) guard/shroud instead of the pe (edger) guard.
Edger for edges. Bed redefiner for bed edges.
@@BriansLawnMaintenance I mean the shroud on top of where the blade spins
You would have better luck with a straight shaft edger and a shindaiwa because they have the driveshaft not an overgrown speedometer cable drive. Interesting piece, would like you to try two std blades to compare to the golden edger.
I usually put 2 or 3 edger blades together
Rob’s comments were a bit confusing to me. He said the cutting bit needed to be longer as it wasn’t long enough to get through on the first pass and you had double pass on the way back! The bit didn’t grow between the forward and the back pass. Maybe slowing and allowing the blade to work on the forward pass would solve or help. Thanks Guys! Good Job!
He just means the carbide blades should be an inch longer, that’s all
Where can I get a blade like that?
We love them . Save you big money. Be very careful they dirt every were...
How many edgers have you had
How does the golden edge compare to gator blades?
I didn't get a chance to use the gator blades, but the Golden Edge is amazing for thick stuff.
@@BriansLawnMaintenance ok. Thank you for your reply
Rob needs a gift card to black rock for that one lol
Black rock is way over priced for mediocre steaks.
Damn, need to up my liability insurance to run this blade
Problem I'm seeing is I have several accounts with sprinkler heads too close to the sidewalk. If it were my first edge I would smash them.
How do you like your ear buds? N do they fall out I think that would be my biggest fear lol
At first I didn't think too much of this. I especially didn't like how it was hard to keep it in its track. I'm also wondering how well would it hold up with hitting concrete constantly. This is not a dig at you or your boy I know both of you know how to use an edger. I think it's more because of the width of the blade that was contacting concrete.
At the end seeing what you accomplish I was impressed. So I have already gone over to the link and ordered one. What I might do is try to match the metal of a tooth and fine a short piece at the metal yard and try take welding to be existing one that's on there and keep it as long as I want as long as it fits in the head of the trimmer. And then play around with perhaps cutting a little bit off here and there to see what might work the best. This will make a final winter project.
I enjoyed watching you show off a new product. I cannot believe you guys use snow shovels just like I do. I always thought I was unique in that way. The first time my wife saw me doing that she was laughing until she saw how well it worked. So now I have snow shovels for yard work and snow shovels for snow work.
Look forward to your next video again thanks for demonstrating a new product. You should try to work out a deal with them since a lot of people in the comments look like they all bought one.
I love mine, every customer i have loves it compared to the normal blade. Makes their driveways and sidewalks pop just a bit more. And you dont really notice rocks/debris after the edge is established.
Why would I want to make a kerf that damn large when edging?
My thoughts as well
So not a grasscutter here or in any way professional I just understand physics so!! 2 things... It's working better with dragging back than digging forward.. second is it possible to fit it opposite in the machine (I don't remember what they're called or how they work if possible try that that would solve the 1'st problem!
You guys are cracking me up. It's a Golden Edge Edger Blade lol. Once you learn to tame it, its an amazing tool. I've been using mine for 4 years now.
The issue is the longer the blades tips r more torque it would take and the bigger the rooster tail of debris behind u. Ive had these blades for years now and ive got one on a edger thats been on there for 3 years later today ill take some pics and send u them on fb so u can show people how well they wear and owe was going to say its the "golden edge" blade not eagle lol. They r so worth the money and mess for the amount of time savings
Maximum edging. Maximum mess 😂
Maybe a little less thickness on the cutting teeth would stop alot of the rock throughing to, along with 1/4 to 1/2" longer teeth?...
That's what I use
I think I saw a bigger dust storm from the movie Dune but yours is close.
When you need to edge the road and the grass in one swoop lmao that's overkill af
Fun fact, they were throwing rocks 20-30 feet but they didn't care when cars went by
Hi Brian. When you breaking ground?
a saw blade works great to,Godbless
Ventrac with Edge/blower option would make short work of that
No way that’s making one hell of a mess
I prefer to use a brush cutter inverted and without the guard.
Edging? Sure. Low voltage wiring for patio lights? YES.
I'll bet that edge would catch a bicycle tire pretty easy, but the edge itself is very dramatic.
Hey brian you might not see this message but can you do more POV cuts like you did with the Cub Cudet pro 700 I love watching that video and I love watching meowing videos like that. Or you could make second channels to put your Longer POV videos on there Thanks mann Hope you read this
looks like you will get allot of weeds in that trench your cutting there. i also agree with other comments old McLane edger wich spun a longer blade was superior for that here in Florida were the st Augustine grows like something out of a Si fi movie
How's his arm not get hot holding the edger that way ?
