I use my speedfeed head on my Honda gx35. Easily the best trimmer head design out there hands down. Edit: also for anyone who reading this and is interested in the speedfeed and have a Honda trimmer it is literally plug and play it fits the Honda trimmer gearbox out of the box so no need to use the added compatibility bolts and screws super easy to install.

@GarageGear Год назад

Good to know on those Honda trimmers! Thanks for sharing Shorty!

@pafrazier56 Год назад

Great tips, getting ready to swap my head out soon. I finally got smart and started carrying extra line in my pocket - trimming stone walls in old pasture fields in VT can be a hike. Now, if we could find a SAFE way to carry gas/oil mix in a hydration backpack, that would solve having to shlep a gas can as well. Trimming Rambo style! I combined your video with one from a guy showing how to put a bolt on the trim head to make it last longer. . .I won't get home until dark! Thanks for the video!

@GarageGear Год назад

Thanks frazier! That’s a good idea with the bolt! It got my thinking how we could carry a mini attachable gas container 🤔👍 thanks for watching!

Love the speed heads saves tons of time. An extra back up line in your pocket is a must, it never fails it will run out wherever your the furthest away from your truck! Lol Also if your old line becomes bridle and breaks easily, just soak it in water it will rehydrate the line and make it less bridle. Good video brother

@paulmysliborski4832 Год назад

Those SF heads are cool, but quite honestly I have never had a problem with my standard line head. Twist off, do your centering (like JB's wing step or other method) insert the middle into the catch, wind up and re-insert. I guess too many people ate lead paint chips as kids to get how this works, so they came up with an even easier way. 🤣 Keep on rocking, JB!!

You know what Paul? I agree with you! Those old heads were not that complicated to figure out! I used one for quite a few years without an issue! I still see them from time to time. Hard to kill a classic! Anything cool happening this week?

I love how they now make trimmers auto feed like this. Not long ago, they were all manual feed where you had to take the head off and string each side separately. This saves a lot of time and headaches. Great video JB!

Good video.. quick question.. on my echo speed feed head there is an L on one face side of the inner spool, and on the other face is says R. They both have arrows pointing in different rotational directions. Is this to change which was the line can be wound onto the spool, depending on if you have a clockwise or anticlockwise trimmer ?

@GarageGear 10 месяцев назад

You are correct jd! Thanks for watching

@whitieinvermont Год назад

Great video JB. I need to replace my line on mine. I don't know what brand mine is but I'm sure that they're all pretty much the same. I like the wingspan idea. It takes the guesswork out of how much. I think I have 2-3 extra spools of line that I'll never use.

Would you do a video of your personal opinion of best trimmer line and brush cutter blades? When I use to use a bump head, I liked the square line. Echo uses .095, the speed feed head can use .105 and lasts a lot longer

@kirkthebeerslinger Год назад

not trying to hijack anything on your excellent video JB. to the comment of the poster about having some extra lengths of trimmer line. I keep mine on a spool, but what I also have done is taken about four or five lengths and coil them up and I leave them in one of the map pockets in my truck in case I am ever without my school or it runs out before I get a chance to replace it I have some backups. so for the homeowner I might suggest peeling off a coil or two and sticking one somewhere different than you normally keep your line trimmer container maybe if you're lime trimmer container is in your shed with your trimmer keep an extra coil in the garage so if you run out and you go damn! you have enough to get your yard done and go get a replacement spool or package

@adamthelawnguy228 Год назад

Actually if both lines are not even from the head, dont need to cut unless one is way long than the other(I'd start over, cuz it hardly happens), as you use the trimmer just like this itll get even(by feeding the next inch or so), husqvarna trimmer head is one example and ofc echo one is simple and better
