Stihl vs ECHO vs Husqvarna The Top 3! 2019

Stihl , ECHO & Husqvarna. Which is Best?

Stihl 94r
ECHO 2620T
Husqvarna 525LST

I Prefer the Husqvarna 525LST String Trimmer

[JenkinsMowing]

I've owned all 3 and I say overall the 525's are my favorite. I just picked up a Echo 266 and to my surprise I like everything about it over the 2620. It's has about the same power, much better balanced, and doesn't vibrate the hell out of you like the 2620!

I've seen a few videos with the guard removed, how do you keep the line trimmed? Do you cut the line manually?

I have the 535LK and personally find it excellent!

Husky 525 series is a beast, plus best stock head and good anti vibe. My understanding in looking at the parts is it’s a Zenoah engine from Redmax.

I had just ordered a shidaiwa 262 which to th best of my knowledge is a echo 2620...but with a solid shaft instead of braid...i hope i made th right choice..i mainly plan to brush cut...and i didn't realize there's a T(torque) model...you think it'll be ok?? Or should have went with a T model for brush cutting?? Thanks for any info

Do you have a recommendation on the best commercial grade handheld blower from Husqvarna / Echo / ?
Thanks much...

I’ve got a Stihl KM94r and just sold a 2620T to buy the 525lst. I’ve got very little time on the Husky so far, but it’s my favorite. Feels much more refined than the other 2. Seems to have comparable power to the 2620T, maybe better usable power. I think it’s supposed to have a 2:1 head like the Echo, but it seems to spin the line up a little quicker. So far, so good. No regrets

I like the deeper rumble of my Stihl 131. I think a string trimmer is pretty loud and annoying to most people regardless if its a 2 or a 4 stroke. Its a loud small engine that barely has a muffler and fairly high pitch either way. Its fun for us guys pulling the throttle though. I liked your video and its really cool how much passion you have for you work tools. I really love my gear too.

My wife has been liking my long shaft for 23 yrs yet absolutely no complaints what so ever😂🤣😂🤣

What do you think of the Husqvarna 129lk string trimmer ?
I'm trying to decide which one to buy 128ld or 129lk.🇺🇸😎 👍🎥

Echo 3020t is my personal favorite but I can get the job done with anything that has balls no problem. I like the 2620t and the Stihl 111rx also. Never run a Husqvarna trimmer but I know there chainsaws are 👍

[scottsquires]

What about shindawa i have a t350 it a monster but a little heavy as I get older the things just don’t die

[chrislawrence]

I have never cared what others think anyway...you have to use what makes you or your employees happy. I personally prefer Echo over Stihl in all of their products. I can't say about Husqvarna the only equipment I have used from them was a chainsaw... Which that was excellent. I just prefer the ergonomics and ease of maintenance and fast starting of all my Echo stuff. I love your insight on equipment or 2cycle oil. Keep making your videos your way and thanks I would like to see a price comparison between the 3

[keithcannon]

In my opinion Echo is much better than the Husqvarna...I've had both.
I have a Husqvarna Rancher 455 20" chainsaw and I have used it for like 8 years and runs awesome!
The Stihl commercial unit is quite good but I think for the money the Echo is the better unit.
Sounds like the only problem you have with the Echo unit is it is heavier. I believe heavier is typically stronger.
My Echo is super smooth...never get any vibration. Maybe your head is out of balance...lol!
Like you said...all of this boils down to personal preference.

[dawnsimental]

Do they still make the Husqvarna model you listed above? I don't see it on their website.

[nicholaskolomiets]

I know this is a week later but I’m going to also get a 2620 this weekend and I don’t know if I want to try the regular or t version. I know the gear reduction differences and most the yards I’m doing are taken care of so I’m not cutting really thick grass all the time. I’m just wondering if I should get the t version just to run my line further out. Anyone have a suggestion?

[strykerv]

Tried a darwin grip? get you one and all three will probably feel great. Changes your back posture after just a few yards.

[alias-_unknown]
