The husqvarna doesn’t have less heat, it has the same heat but it hides it from you with less venting. The echo has a lot of venting while true makes you hotter, but its better for longevity. Heat is the silent killer for any engine and the echo does well with venting that heat. I would rather my arm cook a little than have to replace my equipment every few years

Heat destroys all. Still using same 2014 husky 525lst. Nothing worse than imense heat radiating from the trimmer whilst workn in immense heat. It already in the 90s and high humidity here in Tennessee. But I moved on to the iLST. Now I have no heat

What you say is absolutly true about needing a powerful trimmer so you can go fast. I got a 525 to replace an fs55 and it made a huge difference.

I've tried them all and most are quite good, I was using the Husky 525 and the previous 326 and even earlier models for 8-10 hours a day, 6 days a week, steep hillsides, heavy brush and tall grass and never missed a beat, even in temps north of 95 degrees. I would just carry an extra spool or two with me, mix the gas at 45:1 and tune accordingly. Take care of lubing the head and air filters and you're good to go.

Get the Husqvarna 525. You will not regret it at all. It is a beast. Fast starting, Lots of power, light weight, well balanced comfortable and not loud. I have the 525L and I love it. Professional series and it has proven it through years of heavy and hard use. Believe me it's not just a sticker that says professional series. It takes care of many yards, clears thick heavy grass no problem and mows occasional slick hills that would be risky and or dangerous on a mower. I don't regret a penny into the purchase of the 525L. If it can run with the stihls and survive the crew it will handle anything you can put it through and survive through generations to come.

I have been using a Husq 535 LS for 4+ years and a lot of heavy tall weeds. The other day 5/4/23 the shaft failed. It’s cylindrical but the ends are square. Probably fatigued. For same amounts of material cylinders hand more torque than tubes. Not sure why Husq engineering didn’t think that through. Shaft is $76 in California and Husq Reno warehouse is out of them until 5/25/23. Seems COVID plandemic still impacting supply chain. So do I buy another 535 in the meantime or get the cheaper Echo SRM 3020T? 2.15 v 1.85 hp.

Echo is just not balanced. They are too heavy at the motor. A few days ago I was with Stets and from Stets Lawn care and we was comparing an echo trimmer to a red max trimmer. You should set the echo on the ground and said the Husqvarna on the ground and start from the motor and work your way down and just lift with one finger. The Echo trimmer will quickly tilt toward the motor side but other trimmers will stay balanced as you move your lifting finger down the shaft. Even if the echo trimmer was a little bit lighter , it wouldn’t matter because it’s so imbalanced. The trimmer is not balanced and on top of that the motor area is just so big and bulky and ridiculous. They are just not comfortable

I'm a mechanic where I work but had to fill in on the mowing crew one day. I also mow on the side. Anyway, we have probably 15 Stihl FS100rx trimmers. I was using one for most of the day but then decided to try out the Echo SRM266. I used it for about 5 minutes. It was so heavy and unbalanced compared even to the Stihl 100rx. The Echo just felt clunky and slow. Felt like I was trying to race an overloaded grain truck. Sorta like a tank. BTW: I use Husqvarna myself. I actually just use a 322L for my weekly trimming. 9.1 pounds and then I take the guard off too. Does great. Doesn't weigh much more than a gallon of milk. I was using a 522LS but it was just way too much for what I needed for weekly trimming. Honestly the 322 sorta is too but I just got it because it's so light. The 322L and the 522L are the lightest trimmers Husqvarna makes. It's true. Look it up. LOL!!!

I live in WV also,I got both the 322l and the 525lst. The 322l is so light but also underpowered for the bi weekly wet grass the lst is for sure the best trimmer I've ever used. I just keep the 322l on stand by if the lst has an issue but going on three summers now of hard wide open throttle used commercialy it has never let me down.

Всем- доброго летнего дня! Терзают муки выбора: какую комбисистему купить: Husqvarna 525lk или Echo pas 2620 ?? Кто что подскажет??? Спасибо 🙏 большое за помощь!🤷♂️🇺🇦🇮🇱

I’ve been really concidering the 525ls but the more I look at the husky the cheaper made the husky seems u don’t get lightweight without the cost of loss of quality I feel but I do wish echo could loose a little weight I curntly own several sthil 55,56,66,74,,75,85,110 and several old robin and sthil brush cutters and my newest srm 3020t I went and got the standard gearbox that I run on it 99 of the time kinda on the fence want a light trimmer kinda want a srm 2320 and you can run a blade on the cable drives wish the srm had the spline solid drive line the cable drivereally takes away at any trimmer IMO
@exterminator12 жыл бұрын
u get lightweight by using solid shaft unlike echo braided cable.magnesium casing etc. Just built better. ever hear or carbon fiber on high end cars? lighter is better sometimes.it is also redmax engine(why husky bought redmax). echo is good and feels good.so does stihl. i like them all. but husky is the way to go
@livewithnick3 жыл бұрын
I have both also and the Husqvarna is a little lighter but it just doesn’t have the power the Echo does. I wish it did. Maybe it’s just mine but the Echo works better for heavy duty trimming.

Do you have the torque model? They are almost identical with the husky actually having a better power rating. Echo is great though.the weight and vibrations hurt it.

To answer my own question, it seems like the 525LK is basically the combi version of the 525LST/LS. According to the Husqvarna website, 525LK, LST, and LS all have the same HP engine while the 525L is about 10% lower in HP. I have both the 525LK and LST. The trimmer included with the LK looks to have the same gearbox as what comes with the LS.
