We are installing this trimmer head on a Stihl FS 111, but the set includes adapters for most common string trimmers.

So I watrched the "Echo" youtube video, and a few others. They act like we all do this day in and day out and have a ton of experience. This man showed it like this was our first time. And of course it's our first time. Why the heck would we be watching this if we knew what we were doing. This was good and covered everything. Echo should pay you. This is better than anything I watched on their tutorials.

Now I feel like a moron. This is my first year in business and I have an echo 2620T trimmer came with the speed feed 400 head. I’ve been disassembling the head to run my new line through. Never even noticed the arrows 🤦🏻‍♂️ going to be a lot more productive now. Thanks brotha for the tutorial

U R Good! Thank you. Yesterday I attempted to use my 400 for the first time, unsuccessfully. Drank a beer and called it a day. After watching your video I know it will work for me today!

Thanks Jay; I bought an Echo Speed-Feed 400 Universal Trimmer Head, but I didn't know how to replace the line; this head and your tips are game changers. I really like your chill presentation that gets right to the point from a guy who isn't talking theories but it out there using the tools in the field. I just got back in after changing the line and applying your tips. Thanks again.

Those heads are terrific. A few years back I worked a whole season without knowing it was a speed-feed on my echo 225 so I was always refilling the "archaic" way until a dude from another lawn service pointed it out to me. Felt pretty dumb but shoot, now it's speed feed heads on all the whips at the shop. Great vid. 💪💯

Wow! I've had the speed feed 400 for almost 2 years and when I originally bought it, everything worked fine as it should've. After I decided to replace the original trimmer line with the thicker diamond line, I must have reinstalled with the arrow facing the wrong direction because the string would no longer spit out when bumped. I figured it was a bad unit and would normally disassemble and pull more string through manually . I never knew of this simple and easy to follow instructions. After watching your video, I went out and relooked at my trimmer and sure indeed, i had reinstalled the line assembly with the arrows in the wrong direction . After correcting the issue, It works just as the day I bought it! Thank you so much for the video, I feel like an idiot for not knowing this.

Thanks Jay ! I’m just a regular dude in Kansas that benefited from your video. Thanks for being a great human being 🤙

I just got my Speed Feed 400 yesterday. It kind of fell apart in my hands and gave the instructions a look. Threw away the instructions and just fiddled with the parts. Installed it took it out in my back yard fired her up and about 6 minutes later I was about half way done. There isn't any kind of positive click to let you know you've let line out. The only way to tell is the swishing of the line gets louder. What a great purchase! I've learned to be patient with the old head now I'm back to enjoying trimming again.

I cant't thank you enough for clearly showing how to load the echo trimmer. You brought the trimmer head close to the screen so that anyone can clearly see and comprehend how to line up the little notches. No one is as good and clear and thorough as you. Y should become a teacher, because you both show and explain everything slowly and perfectly.
GOD BLESS YOU ! AND A BIG BIG THANKS!!!

I love how, at 11:16, when you were describing cutting the weeds, you were also singing the blues a little bit. That's what I call enjoying your work.

[davidpadilla]

Awesome. Straight to the point and explains why he does and doesnt do certain things, for example, not trusting the provided string in the bump feed, rather, replacing everything clean and fresh having complete confidence in your machine before you begin the task at hand. Gave this first time weed wacker user some confidence. Here we go, lets do it. Thanks, brother.

I just bought the Echo SpeedFeed 400 for my Stihl FS 91 R String Trimmer I love it. Its so easy to refill with line.

[scoutmasterruss]

This is why I love YouTube! Thank you for your video. The directions were not easy to follow that came with it. You literally simplified the process.

[tomginger]

Jay, I too went through the cover on my 1st speed feed, exposing the spring. On my second one, I used a washer and a short self-tapping screw in the center of the cover. I have now used that one head for three seasons. I installed the washer and the screw on a brand new head because I wanted all the plastic I could get for the screw to grab. Try it. You will love it.

This line string trimmer head has to be the best thing on the market! I have an Echo and it is the best ever! Great video and explanation!

[noexcuses]

Not in the Business, just a home owner but, I keep coming back to this video to remember how to load my speed feed.
Great video and what a time saver.

[johan-zsnc]

Never seen a gangsta lawn care dude before until now! Great vid man.

[ScottRidinger]

Jay....THANK you for the outstanding knowledge you have provided. Last Saturday I was reloading the spool and cursing the entire time when it would slip and I would have to start over. It took me almost 25 minutes to get the line on the spool and put it in the case. And you just did it in maybe 25 seconds!!! I had not clue and it does not tell that anywhere in the owners manual that I could find!! THANK Oohrah!

[gvyberv]

You amazingly made this feel like a documentary. Man I truly appreciate this and definitely will be subscribing. Please keep the videos coming.

Little late to your video. Been looking at this head for a while. My Stihl head (parts) disappeared in the weeds a couple of days ago. Almost went and bought a replacement at the local Stihl dealer, then remembered the 400 Echo Speed Feed head. Finally picked one up at Home Depot. Really like the "400", but I think Echo should send you some bucks, the enclosed "instructions" suck! Your video is really a great help! Concise and no B.S., outstanding job! Thanks!
