Review of The New Husqvarna 525LST Review 2022

[@naps3386]

Bought the 525LS this week, used it the first time and WOW…nicest trimmer I have ever used, very low vibration and nice engine power. Just a great experience. I bought it off your recommendation, thanks!

[@heidyshomestead9852]

I got the 522L yesterday from a local hardware store in my town. They lowered the price down to what the Husqvarna site had it listed for. It is by far the best trimmer I have ever owned. It idles smooth, but really screams when you need it to. At $255 I am totally satisfied. I can also see that I am not the only one who likes these weed eaters. Must have a good rep.

[@rowdyreviews6530]

I tell ya what I use which was made in the year 2000 is a robins and it weights 8lbs and been commercially used for 14 years straight and is as good as they ever made!!

[@jriggs285]

Buy you some 2" metal foil tape (used for HVAC) and use a short piece to cover those housing slots added over the muffler. If the engineers didn't really need those new slots, you'll never miss them.

[@sethparker4012]

Get rid of the rapid replace head! They are heavy and slow down the trimmer! Slap a speed feed 400 on it and you WILL BE AMAZED at how much better it feels

[@panzerkiller13]

Between the 525LST II, 525 LS II, and a 525LK, do you have a preference? Is the torque head worth the extra money? Is the Mark II still a lot heavier even if there's no gas in it?

Wonder if you tried using a Darwin's grip I want to see if the hotter would still hit your elbow I just bought the 525 LS and I'm going to try taking the Darwin strip off my RedMax 260 TS and see if the hot air still blows up on my elbow

[@E.L.C.]

I love my new 525lst mark 2. It's got some bite !!! I use darwins grip with it no hot air hitting me 😉

[@jaygill0331]

Got one on backorder now in my area … any quick fixes for the elbow issue? I think we may have the same style of use and that definitely will be annoying … unfortunately I watched this after I ordered and it literally was a LS in the store 😅

[@benaiahreid3291]

I have a 525LS and love it. Is the 525L at Lowes truly the same machine accept for the guard under the engine? I get 20% off at lowes so a 525L would be $280 out the door I just don't want to regret it.

[@exterminator1]

525L has a diferent engine than the ls and lst. Same engine from the 223l

[@justinking4394]

All 525 models are the same engine the L,LS & LST but they are geared different.

[@benaiahreid3291]

@Justin King I dont think they're geared differently. Pretty sure the bevel gearheads are the same. Husqvarna lists significantly different hp ratings between the L and the LS. Gearing is irrelevant because it's rated as hp at a particular RPM. Not sure if it's a typo on husky website or not.

[@justinking4394]

They all 3 have 1.55 cu. inch engines. Look at the difference in transmission on site.

[@justinking4394]

@@benaiahreid3291 you are correct on the LS, and LST having slightly more hp. The engines might be slightly different somehow but they are the exact same size.

[@michaelbarrett1914]

Have you ever owned or used the Husqvarna 324L model with the Honda engine? If so, what are your thoughts?

[@davidjaskiewicz3461]

Does the 525LST mark 2 or redmax bcz260ts have any issues running .105 line, or do I have to go to a larger cc engine ?

[@exterminator1]

I run 105 in both often. No problems with it

[@BigMike-Soetoro]

What’s crazy to me is that the LST is suppose to be light. That’s one of the main reasons why it’s so popular. Now after hearing you say it’s heavy, I’m not so sure about it.

[@harryerhart5978]

I bought the first rapid loader head it's gray not orange it vibrates does the new orange rapid loader vibrate less ?

[@rowdyreviews6530]

Can you run the trimmers and check how hot the plastic gets where your elbow is setting at with a infrared thermometer?

[@jamesfarmer2748]

Man for real I was wondering the same thing my old husky 327 would leave a bad burn on my forearm.

[@IanDennis-gr6ud]

There still selling 525 last in Australia mark 2 not available here at all I'd say Husqvarna listened to you and dint bring them to us

[@BioHazardra]

My biggest complaint with the regular models was that spout on the gas tank I never could time it just right to keep it from overflowing once it gets to that neck it fills up so quick it just overflows and using a sure can makes it that much more difficult. I'm still not even put gas in my mark 2 and I'm not going to no need to this year it's hung up waiting for next year

[@exterminator1]

Get a real can and throw that one u got away lol.

[@harryerhart5978]

Fs85rx the best trimmers hands down but you can make one from a fs111rx and a Fs94 just switch the shafts now you have a light trimmer fs94rx and a fs111r no rx😚

[@exterminator1]

Old 85 has redmax engines why they were so good. Why husqvarna boutique them in like 2004. Husky has the best trimmer hands down. Also I HATE my 111. And all 4stroke stihls. I do like my 94r. But has broke down so many times on me as seen in my vids.

[@harryerhart5978]

@@exterminator1 l thought you were talking about Stihl trimmers in the 90/s sorry 😔

Enough of these husqvarna videos, we get it, your making money from them. Now im looking for a none bias video's, may have to go with a different format 😮😅😊

[@exterminator1]

Enough with your comments ugh. Gp get a job

[@JeffCarsboatsatvs]

Also I switched the head out I run the echo 400 head way better cuts lower to the ground also .

[@knightimusprime25]

lol ive never burnt my elbow usin a weedeater of any brand ya just gotta know how to hold it those vents over the muffler is actually a good thing it expels more heat away from the machine and helps keep it from overheatin so much so dont get so wound up about it i sometimes have to one hand places even then i dont get burned what ya gotta do when ya one hand it when ya lock your arm keep it moved over to the left towards the air filter slightly that way you'll avoid gettin burned as for string try their trim force in the square variety cuts damn good but the durability kinda sucks due to the string bein soft if they hardened it up just a bit it would be alot better i wanna get the new version of the 535LS it seems to be half again less weight than the old version we both have i think i could get used to runnin one of those on my big jobs i have

[@exterminator1]

Well again you don't hold yours the same way. And I said blows hot air.also the old models did burn many people. Not a good thing to my elbow and face though. Mine still hasn't roke down in 7 years from over heating. So try again on that.

[@harryballz6358]

Oh hell yes, a 223l burns your arm. Most people don't run one long enough to feel it. I cut the bottom of a sock to slip up my arm on larger jobs.

[@joshuabush2569]

That's fully synthetic Husqvarna oil does smell good 👍🏻😂

[@scorpionking4lyfegenesis264]

Now I'm trying to decide on the 525 mark 2 or echo 26 20T someone please help!

[@exterminator1]

Redmax 260ts is my recommendation. But either of those are great machines

[@cookiemonster3979]

The people who designed it with the vents at the top obviously don't use trimmers all day

[@michaelbarrett1914]

This is May 2024 and our stire has one 525 LST...no series II.

[@wayneessar7489]

Doesn't that LST make you hallucinate?

[@exterminator1]

Yep amd makes my wallet lose weight

[@kennyslaughenhaupt3839]

Yeah I have converse with you before on KZbin you know I have a 128 LD , or hopefully not had a 128 LD it got to where it wouldn't idle it ran great it just wouldn't idle so the carburetor adjustment wouldn't fix the idle and the throttle screw adjustment would not fix the idle so I put a new carburetor on it and it would start but not run and the more I try to start it the less it would run so I took it to my guy and the guy said the Piston it's completely scored and the ring is shot and I thought hell it's only 2 years old if this is what I get from Husqvarna even for a residential model and I don't know if I want to go with Husqvarna anymore and I hate sthil, I wouldn't buy a sthil product if you tried me up and drug me behind a truck. Look I'm going to have this weed eater rebuilt but, the fact is I only do five lawns, it's not like the old days where I did huge apartment complexes so right now I don't know what product to use I bought a Ryobi jet fan blower that lasted a year and the mower blew out am I using the wrong two-cycle oil I'm mixing my fuel right in California it's all 50 to 1 maybe when I say 50 to 1 I should go 30 to 1 but then people driving by in a car see your machine smoking and they stopping good hey that's smart you're creating smug you're polluting the atmosphere blah blah blah because that's how California's are so I replace my blower I bought a really nice battery powered blower and it's going to cost me about 70 75 dollars to put a new cylinder ring and piston in this trimmer because I know a guy. My question is what the hell has happened to the quality of these products in this country I barely had this thing two years and the Piston already blew up and my guy said that's what these models do they have really cheap Pistons so I don't know where to turn now I hate going battery but I'm afraid I'm going to have to

[@knightimusprime25]

what ya need to do is get rid of that 128 and go with one of their 525's they're waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy better than those junk 128's they're lighter they feel more comfortable usin em they put out more power they're just an overall way better machine than those junk 128's

[@exterminator1]

I would take a bora sccope and look inside the cylinder walls. I have made videos with mine doing the same thing. Check air filter, fuel line, replace fuel filter ? Check diaphragm for over stiffness. Even a crank seal leak. I have 128ld amd have fixed many for that exact reason. Buy a brand name walbro carb and try again.
