Wild Badger Power 26cc String Trimmer unboxing, review, first start and test.
The company (Wild Badger) provided both machines used in this video, though this was not a paid review. I am in no way paid by Wild Badger or Husqvarna (lol, duh).
In this review I discuss the merits and detractors of each machine and ultimately determine if they are comparable units or not. Additionally, we determine if each power head will accept the other's attachments without damage.

Love the honesty, you could tell you did not want to like it, but did in the end and that’s an impressive feat for the Badger. Also props to Badger for actually sending you a Huskavarna to test, that says a lot about them as a company to be honest.

@DEInTheGarage Год назад

Thanks bud. I admit I tried everything to get out of this review ( I do NOT like contributing to the “one way trade problem”, but every now and again I find a genuine golden nugget. I believe this Wild Badger unit may be. They have done the R&D to properly clone the Husqvarna so to me it is like the Predator engines at HF. Solid budget option

@zoofkush23 10 месяцев назад

Have the Echo PAS string trimmer unit and Wild Badger attachment unit and have used the Badger commercially on mowing routes to test its durability and noticed it overheated more quickly and is a bit on the heavy side but all in all it made it through a full week of mowing with no significant issues and held up well. Good buy for a home owner with a budget looking for a multi attachment unit

@michaelletvinchuk5721 Год назад

I have a Badger, and use it with a 12" carbide tipped brush blade it will go through 3" trees plenty of power for all attachments

@theed365 4 дня назад

Been using some old TrimmerPlus attachments my across the street neighbors left on the curb when they moved out on the Wild Badger. Whatever works, works.

Awesome comparision video. Good to know that they share the same attchement shaft size.

@curtissheppard1996 9 месяцев назад

Perfect video man. Great info and testing. I was really looking at the Badger set up. But was like ehhh. Till now. Thank you man. And the attachment swap!!! Totally threw me. That is gold right there.

I researched a lot of trimmers before my pocketbook decided for me and I bought the Wild Badger 4 cycle brush cutter. I have yet to be disappointed.ive had mine for abiut 2 years and it still runs like its brand new, or better. Of course I take great care of mine. Tool neglect will hit you hard eventually. Great video. 💯

@timh515 11 месяцев назад

I'm impressed! My 10 yr old Murray died 2 days ago.(not the power head, gears died) Watched this video and a wild Badger is being delivered tomorrow. Good Video!

@featheredfriendshomestead Год назад

Looks like it held up really well. Love the blade trimmer would be nice for all these little trees coming up everywhere. My husband will have to look into one of these he really needs one. Great honest review.

@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 11 месяцев назад

Yep, definitely need a blade, perfect for blackberries. Don't go too crazy with it though, they can put a good shock load on the drive shaft. I learned this lesson the hard way, twisted the end out of my clutch.

The Chinaman is quite good. I wanted a battery drill last year but the top brands were much too expensive so I ended up purchasing a brushless Worksite battery drill. The first set of batteries were garbage so I returned it and got new ones. Since then this thing is working like a charm. A technician came to install an Internet box but his electric DeWalt burned up in the process of drilling a pure concrete wall. I lent him my worksite battery drill. He fitted on his drill bit and it went through like butter. Chinese brands are getting really really good.

@iowafox2206 Год назад

I have a Stihl Fs56rc I've had since new in 2019. My blower is a Stihl I got from my grandpa for $100 runs pretty good for me. I'm hoping these will last me a good long while but time will tell. This wild badger looks ok I don't think it will be around in 10 years unless you baby it alot.

@danhambrick6331 Год назад

I think I will just keep my 13yr old Stihl FS40 that is all original and runs like a top....💪👍👍👌

@DEInTheGarage Год назад

Probably a smart move bud. That is a classic!

@razor_wuff Год назад

Honestly I think she's a keeper, don't know how long she'll keep up, but it runs and looks pretty sweet!

Really helpful video for me to make up my mind about the Wild Badger.

@donlum9128 Год назад

I usually run my 2 strokes out of gas out of fuel after each use. Always use Ethanol free gas in mowers. Saves a lot of grief.

@DEInTheGarage Год назад

Amen to that!

@bdmenne 3 месяца назад

Ethanol free is everything for small engines!

@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 11 месяцев назад

Really like the Wild Badger, gonna see about picking one up. I've seen their attachments, they look well made and have spline drive on the attachment head? That said, I'm still rocking my two used and abused Ryobi 790r's I bought new back in the day, and "rebuilt" one that got roasted from using stale caster-bean premix.

@MrTBoneMalone Месяц назад

Thanks for the video. One question about the Wild Badger I'd like to know. My Craftsman trimmer has plenty of power, but the vibrations from this thing are off the hook. I'm a strong guy, but at nearly 60 years old this tires my hands out fast. Hey, we get what we pay for, I know a more expensive unit would most likely be better in this area.

@danielborth7753 5 месяцев назад

I'm impressed by it but can you get parts for it when the time comes to it for every machine

@matth1851 11 месяцев назад

Hey big question? Are you running the badger with the Huskey gear shaft/head? Because I’m gonna do this. If it’s the ultimate combo. Please respond.

@John-cj3ve Месяц назад

While I DO like the smell of 2 stroke exhaust; (with several large Stihl chainsaws in my past); I have jumped ship and gone the battery route.

@rjftransport2682 2 месяца назад

After 3 20v Dewalt trimmers stop working i went to a 4 stroke 31cc wild badger.. reliable and tough as nails. More.power than needed. A bit heavy but not horrible.

yea i'm on my 4th year with the same 31cc badger and NO problems ever and i trim a good 1 1/2 acre land as my father does the mowing(he's 77 yrs old ) got tired of 2 stroke and battery ones always breaking down but i can fix them, just tired of them.

I pulled the trigger on one of these. It worked great-the first time. The 2nd time, it wouldn't start-no spark. I'm guessing bad ignition coil. I tossed it into a corner and bought a Husqvarna from a pawn shop.

for what you paid for your Huskavarna i got a wild badger power 4 in 1 multi tool with edger and it fit all my john Deere attachments with pole saw..and it works grate..

@nrnoble 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the video. I decided to switch back to gas powered engines for some outdoor tools, such as lawn mower and weed eater because they eat through batteries that need to be replaced at $100+ per battery. It becomes more cost effective to buy a combo tool\battery just to get the battery, but then it means spending more money than just buying the battery. Battery tools are great, but not for every tool.

@Kyle-ve1zs Год назад

I've had the bolts that hold the exhaust on shear off from vibration once now. Also experiencing excessive vibration after extended use and has been that way since it was brand new.

@phoenixrising1087 Год назад

yes! Mine too!! I was thinking I put it together wrong, but it's not complicated. Really bummed cause wanted to like it.

@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 11 месяцев назад

Check and make sure the internal drive shaft isn't bent if it's a solid shaft and the flex shaft support tube isn't broken if it's a flex shaft.

I won't waste my money on a Husky. At one time, Husky was a good brand. Echo or Stihl for me.

@DEInTheGarage Год назад

I am a stihl man (when I can afford it), but I have a curved shaft Echo GT225 that is the most loyal trimmer I have ever used. I’ve had it almost 10 years and never even changed the spark plug! It just starts and runs every time. My blower is the same story. Echo is still made in Japan, which I think is a VERY important distinction

@tonydowd8566 Год назад

@@DEInTheGarage at one time I ran a lawn service, and I must say Echo outperformed them all, including Stihl and Black Max. Although my 20" bar Makita (made by Sachs Dolmar) chain saw is a beast. Yes, it's a gas hog, but will outperforme about any saw I've ever used. I worked in the logging industry 40 years ago. My favorite job ever was operating that little Timberjack skidder. BTW, thanks for the video. I actually enjoyed the comparison. Have a blessed day.

Tip All needs: cut 4 inch trees by remove that blade and use DULL carbide 7-1/4 skill saw blade! prefer 36 tooth but 24 is ok.. 2 inch tree in 1/10th second! 4 inch in like 3 seconds... fs56r- homeowner stihl.. i had 4 yrs each.. im on my 3rd... over 300 blades each machine @ 6 hr cutting each.. crazy.. i cleared 2 acres 3 inch woods property .. once.. they r amazeing.. brush blade is terrible.. 10 min .and small 1/2 inch stuff .. 10 min and it trash !
