Renegade Brush Cutting Blade with Echo SRM 225 Review

[@UhBuddy1976]

Man, I will tell you! The SRM 225 is very underrated. It is a residential/commercial/whatever you need it for! Always starts easy! Best trimmer on the market for not paying more than $230 on average. Thank you for the video. I may have to get me some of those renegade blades. I bought the universal kit that you showed in the video, but I am not a huge fan of the large tooth blade that comes with it. I want something that has smaller close together sharp blade teeth that just slices through wood like you were showing.

Thank you for this detailed review. To the point and covered everything that's needed and relevant! Ordering the universal kit-

The Echo Srm 225 are little work horses and very reliable at least in my company they have worked very well and have hold up commercial work really well.

[@UhBuddy1976]

Yeah, it kills me. Everybody revfers to them as residential machines or “middle of the road” machines but they are $230 new at Home Depot. That is a commercial price. Anyway, I’m sure there are much more expensive ones but I have one of these SRM 225s and I got it for $140 barely used And I got one of these kits and put on it and I’m telling you it is a work and you can’t really hurt them as long as you use the right (non ethanol) gasoline and synthetic two-stroke oil

For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. kzbin.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.

I have an Echo PAS-225. My brushcutter attachment came with a blade with a lot of teeth. It cuts saplings and small reeds, but it didn't cut the thick weeds enough. I have been looking around and I keep coming back to the Echo 3-Tooth Grass & Weed Blade. The only thing that I don't like about it is the price of $31. I wasn't sure if I should do the three tooth or try out the blade you are showcasing.

[@Mixwell1983]

I got the Curt blade 2 pack. For $20 and have it installed but i think im going to wait until fall to clear brush by my treeline. Im using a 25cc hyper tough gas straight shaft weed eater.. Its either that or renting a billy goat walk behind brush hog

[@leebennett7126]

Great video! Running the same setup for small brush cleanups.

[@michaelparker5640]

Long time Tanaka pro user switched to the 225 cheaper to maintain take the factory carb off by $30 carb with a high low adjustment on it that's the way to go ✌️

I like the Echo 410U better. More power and can get through some of those trees you used you chain saw on. I have cut 6" trees down to the ground with this setup.

[@troxelservices]

Good info!

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

Yep, great blade for job👍

[@timanderson8393]

I bought the universal kit and thought the blade that came with was not to bad for small brush. I do have the renegade blade otw though so thanks for the review.

[@zealandwylie489]

Where can I get just the adapter plate???? All I see is the kits. I just want the adapter

[@jremeee1599]

Good luck. I had to buy the whole kit.

[@terry6181]

Very good video. I will buy one. Thanks

[@MrJas6477]

Thank you.

[@snakeplissken2963]

Will the universal kit be able to utilize a regular circular saw blade?

[@troxelservices]

Good question but I don't believe so

[@gta5grindzxb145]

No, arbor on skil saw blade is too small plus they are brittle, easy to break.

[@Forged407]

Do I need to buy any type of adaptor or is it plug and play?

[@troxelservices]

As long as you have the model weed eater that is on the adaptor kit in the video then it will work. If you re-watch the video you should see it the models listed.

[@HabitatDave]

Looks like used 8 inch blade or is it 9 inch?

[@troxelservices]

You got it. It's an 8 inch blade here is a link to it: a.co/d/j1VVfN4

[@abrahambaker5085]

Update the kit is now close to 80.00

[@troxelservices]

I found one you can get on Amazon for under $40 instead of Home Depot: a.co/d/buId4bk

[@heathalford4721]

I bought an echo srm-225 recently and even for standard trimming found it to be very weak

[@troxelservices]

Try the Shindaiwa T235. Its only about $50 more than the Echo and it is perfect for everything we do. You will need to go to a store that only sells lawn equipment. Not the big box stores.

[@heathalford4721]

The echo came from a shindaiwa/echo dealer. He only has echo in stock. I bought the 3020T. I much prefer the stihl 131 As much or more power at less weight and the trimmer head doesn’t clog up with grass and have to stop to be cleaned. Wanted to try echo bc I hear good things. So far not for me.

[@troxelservices]

@@heathalford4721 We have bought probably 15 Shindaiwa T235 over the last 3 years. They have been great but would love to try a I would love to try a Stihl. We love our other Stihl equipment. See our review of the HT 131 Telescoping chainsaw. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoCtpWh_r9Rre8k&ab_channel=TroxelServices

[@heathalford4721]

@@troxelservices I work at a sawmill and they use that 131 telescoping pole saw there. They are abused and destroyed here. They have a very hard life but I’ve seen them cut logs with them bc they don’t have to put on all the ppe as with a chainsaw by company rules. They are tough. I have the standard stihl 250 pole saw personally. It’s powerful

Great Job

[@dekklin5517]

Is this part of the PAS and echo system?

[@troxelservices]

I don't think so my friend. Sorry for the late response.

[@ellisonbenson9882]

Just purchased the kit from Home Depot and installing on my PAS 225

[@troxelservices]

@@ellisonbenson9882 That is great!

[@eddiemiranda469]

It’s come to install edgers?

[@charusheelamarawadi2195]

Is it heavy to carry?

[@troxelservices]

Its no heavier than a medium size Weed Eater. The blade doesn't add any noticeable extra weight and the ECHO SRM 225 is not the heavier model.

[@Lg1969]

You didn't add the link to where to buy one
