Just bought the srm-222es for light lawn trimming. Had a stihl fs50 but it was a bow head and did my back in! Occasionally I might benefit from a pole hedge cutter and was wondering if there's anything aftermarket or original to use with my echo 222? It won't get hammered, just occasionally used for wide topped hedges and hard to reach bits.

Yea it's safe no that's not a cut on my hand from it.

Hi all, I just got this pas 265 and so far love it. The trimmer head is the old style and looking for a speed feed head. Will any fit, they don’t specify my specific model but otherwise looks the same.

Myself and a few other guys cannot figure out what this head is, or what is used with it. It’s attached to an Echo 2620 weed eater

I want to buy a top-of-the-line blower, and a lot of reviews talk about the PB9010. I see a 7910 "coming soon" - and the specs seem very similar.

PB-7910H | ECHO-USA.com

Also, hip-mounted vs. tube-mounted throttle - which is better?

Advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Is there a spec anywhere on the ratings of the main motor on this mower?

Torque/speed curves, nominal power rating, that sort of thing.

Thank you!

Anyone done this yet? I found some reasonably-priced replacement LiOn cells and am able to recharge them in the OEM charger, and they supply 58V...but the tools will not run for more than a second before some overly-protective circuitry stops the party. Batteries can handle the load per my out-of-tool testing. Ideas?

Hi new to the page. I recently had my echo blow up on me long story short is I got the cylinder honed, new piston, connecting rod, ring, spark plug, air filter, fuel filter, I put it al back together it wants to run for a second or 2 then it dies no matter what throttle position choke on or not it doesn’t stay running.. and also when I pull the cord a few times it will back fire through the carb.. I’m assuming a clogged carb issue? I have checked spark and I have spark. I am getting fuel.. so I’m a little stumped. Anyone?

Hello all I have a echo backpack blower my dad gave me. He's had it for a good while but I know he takes insane care of his stuff, he only gave it to me because he bought a new one at a good deal he couldn't pass up.

But for a while now it's had a problem.

When the motor gets good and warm it bogs out and won't start again for hours so I only get some short use out of it, otherwise it runs great.

Any help?

So, I've recently got myself a job as a landscaper after spending most of my adult life working in kitchens. And I am loving it, but I could really make my own job easier- and probably get a bigger raise sooner- if I could teach myself at least the basics of how to fix small engines, string trimmers, leaf blowers, etc. I was wondering if anyone here could suggest any good websites and/or books for this?

This is my Echo SHC-225S extended reach hedge trimmer.

Features:

• Rear mounted 21.2cc 2-stroke engine

• 20" shaft

• 20" double sided, double reciprocating blades

I have been using this trimmer professionally for a few months now, and it's great. It will power through fairly woody stems without bogging down. I've taken 6-8 inches off in a single pass on large Photinia, no sweat. The forward mounted gearbox has a standard grease zerk for easy lubrication. It takes a simple pump or two from the grease gun after every couple days of use. The balance feels a little awkward at first; not as comfortable as a standard hedge trimmer but not as unwieldy as a pole-saw. During use though, the SHC-225S functions as any other hedge trimmer, and the added reach is a huge bonus. You can easily reach over the tops of most residential hedges with this trimmer, eliminating the need for a ladder. This is also a great tool because it's not so long that it can't be used in place of a standard trimmer. It can easily be maneuvered around waist-high shrubs and is not clunky to sculpt with. With my experiences so far, I would give the SHC-225S an "A" rating.
