Echo GT 225 - Replacing the Trimmer Line 

Thank you for this! There are 9,000,000,000 videos on the speed-feed trimmer head, and I had to do some serious searching to even find one on my little Echo GT225 trimmer, but I love it, and it works fine for me, at 73. Just needed to get those mechanics of one way feeding of the precut trim line down. Great clear video!

lol 😂 I thought I accidentally clicked on Info Wars for a second! Anyone else see the resemblance?

I've been landscaping for 10 plus years and my company gave me this Echo weed wacker head to use to clear the property and it confused me so much lol never in my life have I seen a one way system haha, thank you for the help, I do prefer the wind up feed heads. No need to keep using 8 inch pieces.

Man you're a great reviewer. Super clear, easy to understand. Thank you for doing this!

Thank you for this video! I just bought one used so this was very helpful.

I am hoping to see your video on changing the factory string head on the 225 to the speed feed head.Thanks

For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. ru-vid.comUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.

I'm waiting on that next video. This type of head is not efficient for me. I'm looking to replace it with one that holds more line

Thanks for this I was confused as heck

Thank you. So simple and to the point.

The strings on mine are stuck and can’t get them out. What do I do?

Man I was like how do I replace it, I have so much pride it took me 3 weeks to look this video up lol smh but thanks

Right to the point, thank you

Thanks for the help homie!

EXCELLENT VIDEO

Just bought a refurbished Echo and the shop gave me some extra line to cut on my own. Thing is, the line stays curved, so I tried to line it up with the grain and the level of the spin. I might have cut the lines short but it will suffice til next time.

Thank You!!!

Thank you sir !

Thank you very much sir.

I accidentally took the screws out of the weed eater head and now I don’t know how to put the screws to get the string to stay in

I was hoping to see the video you referenced about changing the head. The stock one is junk and I eat through line way too fast.

So I took mines apart because I didnt know how to reload it. Now when i push the plastic through it doesn't hold it. I only used it one time now I'm stuck please help

Thanks

I thought I must’ve replaced the string wrong but after watching this I realized I done it correctly, but that trimmer head just sucks

i put the line through and when i went to replace the one side a=had the line and came out like always but the other side the line somehow wasnt there to grab to pull and i tried to push it through wouldnt go i took head off and saw the little teeth i fell and not sure if the both go on bottom of the head or one on top one one bottom the model #ispb -250-ln curved shaft

Thanks a lot

The one way feed system isn’t working for me. I’ve tried just about every troubleshooting method possible. Any ideas how I can get the teeth to grab the string so it fly out during use?

I bought this p o s and the line flies right out every time

Ur a life saver I’m sooooooooo dumb!!!!😂

thanks

Yes I accidentally took it apart and two little pieces fell out . Not for sure where it goes. HELP !

I just bought the head you're showing and got it working, however I placed wire on both sides and on one side I cannot no matter what I do, it won't come out , any ideas ? I did trying to pull it out like you show here , I got that small length out but I still have a small length of wire where you put it in that I can't remove, I even tried using a vice grip no luck at all , so I can only use one side , any thoughts or ideas as how to yank the other side out ?

Will that work on a a PAS-225Vp ? I have the speed head and would prefer this one. I hate the bump one ! Where can I buy it ?

Im on a job site and did this and it just keeps shooting out

Have you dropped the video on how to install the bump head? I came up on this trimmer when I moved into a new house, it was left behind but it’s practically new- I’m missing the screws that hold the head together for the 8inch stock feed head (however you say it) - was hoping if I bought a bump head speed feeder That would solve my missing screw problem or should I buy the bump head and a few (not sure what size) screws?

My string is stuck I can't pull it out.. so IDK how to change the string any clue?

So I did this, and my stream came out of my weedeater and I don’t know how to keep it in my weedeater

😂😂 thanks

I did this but the strings keep coming out

Uhhm the strings feeds all the way through both ways I'm not sure what's wrong and why it's not a one way feed system anymore

String won't go trough enough and now stuck. How do I get it out

Can you put a brush trimmer blade on the GT 225???

Next video please

What do you do if the line will not stay in. Mine will not lock in place anymore

My lines keep falling out and I can take the line out from either side

My string doesn't stay in it comes out from both sides. How can I fix this

Replacement speed head for gt225?

I just got mad af😂 I alr took it apart

I’m not sure what I opened it up. : |

Si destape el cabezal por error para sacar el hilo y ahora no puedo meterlo que debo hacer

This head is crappy. I replaced it with a Speed Feed head.

These heads are junk don’t get one with this head or replace immediately

I have this head on my echo weedwhacker. I think it is very stupid and pointless. i find myself throwing away half the length of each string when it gets short. Also i have to handle the dirty head every time i want to get more string. I would much rather just load up a bunch of string and get string on demand as it gets shorter. I think this is the dumbest head ive ever seen in my life.

I bought one of these. Horrible. Your always trimming with a short string instead of a ckntimius feed. Have to replace so.often, its very in- efficient. Not at all impressed.

Garbage
