Good informative video you made, thank you. Few things you could consider doing. 1: you could flip the line cutter around so it has a 16 inch cutting path instead of the 14 inch you have it set on now. 2: you could step up to a 12ah battery, it has a night and day longer run time in a trimmer, and has noticeably more power too. 3: order a trimmer guard for the early model 2725 grass trimmer, it's way smaller and long grass doesn't bind up in it near as much. Or option 4 would be the best option, just run it with no guard at all. Food for thought anyway. 🤔 Ps the line in the replacement head is some cheap crap .080 line too. Get yourself some black diamond .095 and you will fall in love with it too. 👍
Thanks for all the suggestions! I normally run an 8.0 and it last me enough to trim and leaf blow afterwards. The 12.0 I usually reserve just for the chain saw because the added weight to the trimmer isn’t necessary. Might look into the trimmer guard swap!
I have that old 1st gen trimmer that is not the Quick-Lok version you have. I actually think it's a better trimmer then the Quick-Lok one is, but the trimmer head is that crap one with the bump button yes. I switched it out years ago to a Echo speed feed 400 but it sucks too because it uses an adapter to make it work and it leaves a big gap between the trimmer head and the gear case that always jams up with long grass. Luckily though it also takes the same Milwaukee replacement trimmer head that he bought for his Quick-Lok in the video that fixes that problem too, so ya 😍 problem solved!!!
I always find it hard as hell to get the oil filter housing off on both my Toyotas. I have the correct tool and i do my own oil changes and I don't over tighten the housing, but they are still hard as hell to remove after 6 months. I am glad Toyota went back to canister filters and stopped listening to all the tree huggers out there!
Change your Engine oil every 4000 miles or 6month if you're using full synthetic oil . If your car uses conventional engine oil then change every 2500 miles or 3months if you want the best from your engine
I swear to God, it looks like the crush washer is still on the oil pan from the last oil change, so now you have two crush washers after tightening the drain plug.
I agree it looks like the old gasket is stuck to the oil pan and the new gasket has gone on top. Just did the oil change on my RAV4 yesterday - that's the 2nd one I have done. Both times the gasket has been stuck to the oil pan - you remove with a screwdriver and lever it off from the inside of the hole. If you have left the old gasket on and it's not leaking I would just leave as is and sort it at the next oil change. Nice video - good to see a DIYer in action.
