STIHL vs ECHO vs HUSQVARNA The TOP 3! 

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use ru-vid.comUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

lmao! "The real winner is me because I have them all" good one man!

Thanks ... I had my own property management, maintenance (repairs and lawn) and remodeling business of commercial and residential for 32 yrs ... back then Stihl controlled the market I need one for around the house now That it was time to retire one of those trimmers I kept when I sold the company. ( can't complain it was 24 yrs old) I have heard all 3 of these are good and am willing to give others a shot also at my age weight has to be considered.

The Speed Head on the Echo 2620 has a wear indicator on the bottom. That head cover can be replaced. Refer to page 38 in the operators manual for the SRM-2620 Grass trimmer/ brush cutter. just a response to your minor complaint. :) I love your reviews. You are very thoughtful and sincere. Thanks for your work.

I have an Echo SRM 4600 a 46cc beast with aluminum body not plastic rubbish. A little heavy but i love it . Easy to start and just runs like a dream. Have run 4 tanks of fuel through it one session running it at full throttle 98% of the time and it didn't miss a beat! Had it for 5 years and only replaced a starter rope and spark plug.

Really great honest review... not a people pleaser, just real as can be. I appreciate it!

I have a 22 year old husky and it has a lot of hours and runs great

Used many strimmers over many years and I have to say that my Husky 535LK is my favourite, nice weight and well balanced. Not as powerful as a dedicated brush cutter but still enough to use a clearing saw, plus all the attachments available. Pro combi's are a great if a bit expensive option but it literally does almost everything but mow!

I loved the little whisper of "that's what she said" when you were talking about the heads. Made me crack up! Thanks for the video/reviews! I'm going to be watching more of your videos

Can't go wrong with either trimmer..i like using them all.. but prefer echo all day

I have used all three brands and the one I stick with now is echo. Husqvarna has good blowers,

Best trimmers I ever owned was my Shindaiwa T242, lightweight and the engine was like a formula 1 engine, and my Stihl FS110 for brushcutting.

You are the winner because you got em all, and a new one on the way. I do not like rubber handles especially in the heat.

Here in SoCal, a lot of us use TMC weed whackers. . If you can ever get your hands on one, I recommend the TMC KPW2750V weed whacker.It uses a Kawasaki 26.3 cc engine and the best non intrusive guard on a weed whacker, and best trigger in my opinion. Cons I would say is vibration and the weight, other than it is solid and reliable. Having said that, the 2620t is an amazing machine.

Husquvarna also has rubber grips on those plastic handles as well just have to order it or specify when you buy it is all my 326LX came with them but I've seen many 326L without the rubber grips

Great video I have 2 echo trimmers I got rid of every other brands plus now I am replacing everything with echo tool's

I've never broken nor seen one break a trigger Husquvarna always wins on low vibration in most cases

Echo and Husqvarna are good trimmers I had Husqvarna used for 25 years and died it ran good. Now i have Echo SRM 2620 trimmer bought it brand new 2 years ago I like it

I own 11 weed eaters now,and all 11 of them are husqvarna's.that I use in my lawn mowing business,my favorite is the model 322l now and I have 3 of the 322l's for just me to use.the husqvarna 322l models are light with a 22cc motor and a shaft length of 84 inches with aluminum shafts,and they are not cheap I'm price to now.but now a days it what you pay for in most and anything anymore!!!!

Last time my wife went into the garage she asked me why did I have 4 weed eaters and I answered, I don't have 4 weed eaters, I have 2 weed eaters one for light duty, 1 for tall grass, 1 with a blade and 1 with a chainsaw blade four branches and then I proceeded to ask her why does she have so much makeup and shoes and clothes, end of argument.

I just purchased a Husqvarna 525 and love it. I just mow and trim my own yard so I'm hoping it will outlast my old butt.

Got a buddy's Husqvarna 525 rx to fix, ignition coil should not be dead after only 3 years semi commercial use! Replacement should not be $85 to $100 either. Moved to Echo myself and have not looked back, love it. I used to run stihl but when I looked at replacing my stolen old stihl trimmer to find 25% price increase but 25% less quality I walked away.

i just purchased the husqvarna 329L on 8/2/2020 from lowes. last year 2019 i purchased the craftsman 4cycle 30cc model; it worked good and i even bragged to my neighbor about the power and less noise with the 4 cycle engine. after storing it at end of season i pull it out in may of this year and the starter string would not pull out no more than 2 inches, finally after maybe 100 something tries, the string extended out, put new fuel in, new oil, 200 pulls no start. sat 8/1/2020 i go to lowes and get the drill bit to electric start it, after many tries with the drill and the machine seeming to want to come on i decide to go purchase another new weedwacker, thats how i ended up with the new husqvarna... i hope it last me more than one year, and i wish the plastic housing around the motor didnt look and feel so flimsy. the plastic on the craftsman felt a little more substantial.

I run 2 Husquvarna 525 professional model and i also have the 18yr old Powerhouse Kawasaki 27cc if ya Wanna talk Torque. All the lil things you dont like about Husqvarna are also the reasons you had to say it has no Vibration. If you try the heads that come on Maruyama ,not sure the brand but i have them on all mine. I promise you will throw them Speed Feed out 4 sure.Trust me yhat trigger is tougher than you think.

Thanks for posting bro thanks for taking the time out of your life 2 post that video that was information that I needed

Just FYI, the Husqvarna 525LST has a 23:12 gear ratio which really is 1.92:1, slightly lower than a 2:1 but not by much.

appreciate your view,, I'm 52, all my life, had shitty trimmer's, n a tough back yard with a steep hill, being a Moving industry driver, few year's back, probably 2015, a shipper (an old old guy), gave me an Echo, 2501s with brush cutter, n trimmer n I ordered the new 400 bump head easy feed, put on a new bulb, n changed line's, ,, 1990's beast model, but she cut's n cut's, never stop's, a true Animal !! did also put in an E3.12 spark plug, n sold on Echo !! ,, noticed here, long ago, all landscaper's, use Echo, n understand why, woulda saved much time n $, if spent the extra for better brand yrs ago !!! appreciate your honesty, n love my Husqvarna chain saw, but Echo, wow what a trimmer !!

Put a Darwin's Grip bar on those edgers then you'll have 3 comfortable, back saving trimmers. Your back will definitely thank you.

I like how light and smooth the motor is on the husqavarna is, but I did break the trigger on the husqavarna from them trying to save money on the trigger and housing assembly. Cheap plastic. Only big factor that keeps me from being team husq is that.

Husqvarna just has issues with carburetors have a Sthil 91R and 131R love them both 91R is 5 years old no issues gas and go. Use mechanic in a bottle few times a year keeps carbs clean. 131R is a beast runs all equipment wonderfully!!!!stihl has a good speed head.

If I had to choose between Stihl, Echo, or Husqvarna, I’d choose Honda.

I'm wondering if I'll ever get answer back from this question, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PREFERRED TRIMMER LINE, and what is your favorite blade wheel, I really mean if your gonna trim heavy thick grass, I've been doing some research on this topic, I have already have notes, I'm just wondering what your choices might be,

They all suck unless they have the shoulder straps for them :) I only use one for 7hrs a day the vibration and always useing one without strap ( i never used strap and id rather have it ) that shoulder strap takes so much weight away. Yes there not heavy really but it help your nerves out. Thanks for sharing man.

Visit my Amazon store! Everything from my boots I wear to trimmer line I use!! Will add more soon! goo.gl/L1xZjm

You said virtually the same as the other channel. The winner is the public!!!! Competition between the three companies has produced three very very good machines at very competitive prices! It boils down to personal preference and price for the consumer... THE Consumer WINS. THIS IS CALLED CAPITALISM. OUR SYSTEM OF MARKETING WORKS THE BEST TO SUPPLY THE CONSUMER THE BEST PRODUCTS AT THE BEST PRICEs. Have good products on the shelf where they are needed... capitalism works. Go to any socialist country Cuba Russia or Venezuela they don’t have the products for the people. You must seek what you need on the black market. The people in Russia, Cuba and Venezuela are good but the socialist system fails.

Very honest review! Very helpful thanks :)

I think I would say I liked the free one best ?

Great reviews man. My all time favorite is the Stihl FS100RX with an Echo Speed Feed 450 head.

I got a fs 94r I have been cutting brush with it cuts it down good and it does not bogs down I love that trimmers also have a fs 130 r used it for 4 seasons still runs

Redmax Best ever!!!! No doubt

I'm on my second husky... the first one had it for 5 years. It wont stay on and sounds like a clattering wrenches. Idk if the rings are bad. Or if I need to replace that rusted spark arrestor or carburetor... it also got flooded it was under 3 feet of water for 3 days. Ever since then... it hasnt ran right. Dumped the gas changed the plug let it dry for 2 days... most likely the flood killed it.

husqvarna 430 LS is my best one no bulky move fast

I use Husqvarna,STIHL and echo 2 stroke oil for my Echo equipment I don’t see any difference from 3 different kinds of 2 stroke oil never had any issues with my echo equipment

The 525 LST has a 2:1 head reduction as well..

Husquvarna all day always for me

I've always been partial to Echo but I'd take any of these brands without hesitation

Boy I'm a echo guy true and true but I have seriously been thinking about getting the Stihl r 91 or 94 wich ever it is or like the one in this video I'll probably get one at the end of mowi season ol hazzadra just raves on on about it so thanks to you and David I'll probably be getting one very soon awesome video holms

Honda, Sthil, husqvarna

We love the echo srm2620 they have been extremly reliable in our company.

Man some people could tear up stainless steel ball. they will tear up their own stuff and sure as hell won't take care of your stuff. I have one buddy that I put on a weedeater every now and them and he will go through a full spool of line in no time flat in yards that i would just bump out line a few times.

My Husqvarna 128LD smokes but I think it's from the cold weather because when it warms ups it don't stop

I have 4 stihl FS85's, a stihl FS56RC, a Husqvarna 326LS, and a husqvarna 128LD

What about Shinidawa?..I mean I'm ah Sthil guy..I got a 94R and a FS38..Echo is nice..very light.. Just got get use to..the angle of the head is more flat..so u have to be relaxed with it..I also use to have a Shinidawa..kind of like Echo.. very light..good for trimming..not so good for brush..lacks the torque..but very reliable machine..I definitely don't mind a Husqvarna.. have used very balanced..it's like Sthils little brother..they also have have a great self propelled mower..the HU700 or 800..The Honda moter...not Briggs and Stratton..I could talk equipment for days brother..but thanks for video.. keep em coming!

I have an old pioneer weed eater and it still runs great

Useful commentary. thanks!

Really enjoy your channel man. Lookin forward to more videos. Question. Does the 525 have a solid shaft or flex shaft? I need to clear some light brush and my dealer told me i can't use a blade on a trimmer with a flex shaft. Ive seen numerous people use blades on trimmers such as a fs56 but they have a flex shaft. Thanks in advance

My poor opinion is qvscarvana number #1

Husqvarna is best

Echo is indestructible

GOING FOR THE ECHO......................WHY?????????????????{PRICE} PERIOD.

New Husqvarna have 4 stroke now but it’s heavier and not much power as the 2 stroke Husqvarna make both 2 and 4 strokes

Have you tried any of the newer 4 stroke? Say, for example, the 324L Husqvarna. It has a Honda engine and is super light, 11 lbs. Echos SRM-225 2 stroke weighs 12lbs. I would like to hear what you think after you try it. It does have the crappy plastic handles though. Let us know what you think of the 4 strokes, the newer ones.

Nice review 😀👍

get a 225 echo its lighter and more quiet i have a echo and toro i use the echo more cause nun wrong with the toro its up there but its just the echo has more power.

Echo gets my vote!

If you left guard on it wouldn't roll. If your employee gets hurt in any way with trimmer...your insurance company will drop you and not cover injury if that guard is off. Even flying rocks.

Been a stihl family since day one for personal equipment, saws, trimmers, blowers,... name it, used it except REAL 070 and 090 saws. (Got to use chinese knock off 070, was still fun). Have always found the job gets done faster with stihl in my hands. Used echo and husq working landscaping, and they all are great machines if you take care of them, right fuel mix, proper servicing and there no reason any one of them wont last you 10 + years. Nice video my man, keep it up.

Why do so many people take the deflectors off, do you like the feeling of little pebbles

Which would be the best for a beginner, budget and long use/ low maintenance wise....Also This is for a buisness

im even on the shut off/ dont matter too me! echo seems always more basic ! i like basic! less plastic

The new Redmax 230 t solid steel drive shaft ,steel on steel clutch ,10 lbs

Forgot Makita which has been winning all the 2020 comparisons.

Husqvarna wins in my heart.

I dont like how Echo has all the internals exposed. Stihl keeps it enclosed with Husqvarna keeping it completely exposed which is better than open. The Husqvarna trigger is flexible and can be bent all the way backwards without breaking it. Personally I think the 525LST is about 10-20 percent more powerful than the fs94r when the string is out longer you will notice. Husqvarna doesnt require as much warm up for some reason. Overall I think they are all durable but power/weight ratio goes to husqvarna. The 535LS has same weight as Echo and loads more power, but thirsty

So I can use speed feed on my 94R I see u mentioned it in you Vid .thank you

You should try husqvarna 430 LS not heavy some how I can move fast smooth I bought FS94 by watching you lol

I would like to get one product for regular weed work and brush up to 2-3" thick. Would a 128LD with a metal blade work for this? If not or if you have a better idea what would it be?

Echo is the king

Huqsvarnal, echo, stihl.what kind of machine is the strongest?

With vibration on the Echo, you said it was an early model before they were even available. Are you sure it has a cable? Since the early ones came with a solid hollow shaft that Echo replaced due to vibration issues.

Your not going to break that husky trigger

Any addvice on Makita brushcutter

Husqvarna I have the 430 ls which is29.5cc almost no vibration

I think echo is best

Where do you live at looks just like my Virginia mountains in the background?Enjoy the videos they are helpful as I am in the market now to buy a new weedeater and really like the Echo myself.My max to spend is 200 and just want one to hold up for quite a long rime.

Sir, these product where market i could get kindly tel me .

Great, I mean great review! I have all Husqvarna trimmers, hedge trimmers, edgers, blowers, and lately I've been second guessing my line up (as in should I sell and invest in Stihl) This video reminded me that all have pros and cons, I'll stick with the (yes harder to cold start and flimsy triggers) Husqvarna. Until they fail, I won't bail! 👍

That husqvarna lst is the torque model I have the lst and the ls non torque model.

Hi eXterminator et. al. Could you or someone comment on which is better; a 4-stroke like the Husqvarna 324L or the 2-stroke 525L and why? I'm just a home owner and sure either would be OK but would rather get the better of the two for performance/longevity. My local big box stores no longer have the Echo 2620T, only the 2620AA. Much appreciative to hear from those actually in the lawn care business vs. numerous everyday opinons from a google search. Thanks! Mgrimess

Nice commentary... Now wheres the demo of them in action?

But the Stihl has a better gear head and bigger clutch witch gives it the power of most 27 cc

Where can you get the actual Husqvarna products nowadays? the ones at Lowe's and home Depot and Sears and Ace hardware all have junk motors in them with no commercial warranty

Thanks for making this. Why do the pros remove the brush guard? And, without it, how do you cut the twine?

How do you feel about the Honda trimmers? I thinking about getting one of the Honda’s or the Stihl FS 111 R

I see your sulky hanging off your scag, how do you hang it, I've been wondering how to hang mine off the mower

I just bought the fs111 31.4cc not broke in yet

Exterminator.. I have 3 models of trimmers I'm considering. All cost the same amount of money and will be used on my 3 acre property non commercial use. Some overgrown thick weeds and brush from time to time. All models are 319$ each and after tax around 350$ which is my budget. Husqvarna 525LS, Stihl 91R, and echo 2620. All three models seem to be about the same in power. My main concern is which model of the 3 will have the least amount of vibration?? Local dealer let me demo a shinadaiwa 242 and the shaft and head shook and vibrated so bad that I returned in less than 10 min of use. I'm not really too concerned with noise levels, weight, or fuel capacity. Just want the easiest starting, less pulls the better, and least vibration model there is for my carpal tunnel wrist. What do you suggest

I had a husqvarna and. Their heavy compared to the other 2

Will any of these take a heavy blade ok? I use a 2000 model echo srm2455 handle bar with an 800gram flail blade for heavy brush. Need to eventually move to a loop handle for manuverability but wondering if these new guys can handle the same abuse my old echo goes through with zero issues. Thanks for the video

U have all straight shafts is that cause u have a lawn service anyhow y don't u have any curved weedwackers
