One of the things I noted when I was looking for mine was that a high percentage of landscape companies seem to prefer Echo.

Echo are really good for the price. Redmax are some of the most powerful Weed Eaters.. But, they are 600$+. For normal residential use the PAS 225 is fine.. Some times i wish i would have gotten the PAS, which has a larger motor.. But, that machine would have been another 150$.. i edge,weed eat, and trim shrubs with my 225.

Anyone have a Hitachi trimmer. It has a commercial rated motor, albeit a bit small, and gets pretty good reviews.

It's on sale, Adrian.

You can't afford NOT to buy it.

Adrian, pretty much all of the landscape guys around here (Dallas) use echo stuff.. keep in mind these guys are running these things for 8 - 10 hrs a day for about 6 months... This would be the equivalent amount of about 5 - 10 Yrs of home owner use.. there's a reason they use echo stuff.. they don't wear out. A lot of guys use the pas225, which is not a commercial rated piece of equiptment...

Food for thought.

Re. they don't wear out...
They do if you don't mix oil in your gas. Of course, nor should they survive that. I'm just a bit bitter that my Echo blade cutter I bought to keep clear an area where we planted some young trees was destroyed by my Dad who borrowed it and poured the wrong gas container into it. No warranty of course either for that.

Anyways' I'm just happy to still have my Dad at this point so I can forgive his mistake. I am losing my never ending battle to my stupid neighbor's bamboo though. So I may need to reinvest.

If you ever see a neighbor planting bamboo, thinking it would make a nice privacy line, DON"T LET HIM! Do whatever it takes short of gunfire. I lose about 2 half days a month from late spring till late fall getting rid of the stuff. That valuable time adds up over our limited summer season.

Hmm where is that rant of the day thread again?


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
