Best Weed Eater 2022 | Husqvarna 525LST String Trimmer

[@darkwar12345]

I’ve used stihl and echo. My buddy is a landscaper and has 4 on his trailer and I asked to let me try one and I gotta say it’s a great trimmer I feel like I have nothing in my hands it’s that light compred to my 2620t and fs91

[@90Davidea]

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.

It's just like my Redmax bcz260ts with shock absorber. I might buy 1 tomorrow if they got 1 in stock. My Redmax acting up. Which is my all time favorite since 2017. My stihls sit on the wall. I use them as backups

[@tpires3024]

Soooo, LS or LST??? I know the T is for torque, but I've never seen a side to side comparison. I know it's probably splitting hairs, but I would like to get your opinion on it. I'm about to buy one and I'm sure either will be GREAT, but I am curious. 5 acres, not cutting corn stalks or anything. Feedback would be very helpful.

[@SANCHEZFLA863]

I use the ls at my job this thing is abused ran over dropped cuts pond banks six plus hrs of non stop cutting and these things turn on and perform every time I'm thinking of buying one my self also wondering what's the difference between the ls and lst but what I do know is that the ls is a true commercial trimmer

[@tpires3024]

@@SANCHEZFLA863 Right on, I Figure both are excellent. I hear GREAT things about both.

Can I order this online

[@thecuttingforce]

The best one ..but I love the 322l.. they don't make any more it's light. But good video Husqvarna puts more thought into the product... yep cabels all covered... . I've been running Husqvarna for 10 years or more .. I can't I trying but can't use anything eles.. and the t 35x head is the best

[@JerryMacHomes]

Curious.... ever since I have been researching a new trimmer I have loved watching the new EGO 16 inch electric. But I am concerned that after 2/3/4/5 years the battery will be dead. Seems $300 plus for a battery..... anyone have an opinion? Please

[@gardenofseeden]

SOLD will be buying this soon!

Did you end up buying one and if so how is it?

[@bigsonslawncare]

Either you're short or that trimmer is longer? I'm 6'1 that's why I ask👍🏽

[@hunterjaybird_1191]

I recently bought this model. And wow! I also have the 525L which is also a great trimmer! The 525L doesn’t even compare to the 525LST!

[@zachariahz9832]

What's the real difference?

[@skittykitty1000]

I have the 525LS. Love it. The LST has to be outstanding.

[@travis10ist]

@@zachariahz9832 525l is long straight shaft with flex cable rod in it and have standard gear on, LS long straight shaft with steel rod in and still use standard gear on it then LST is Long straight shaft with steel rod in it and Have high Torque gear on it 2.1 Same way with echo, redmax and shindawia including maryuama

First let me say, I love watching your reviews! Your second to none! I'm a diehard Stihl and Husqvarna fan (the brand depends on what I'm buying). This trimmer seems to be top notch with awesome features, but I hate to say, but I've given up on gas trimmers. They're mainly too costly, noisy, leaky, and heavy. I'm guessing you haven't tried some of the lightweight rechargeable weed eaters? If you don't carry them yet, you should because they are the future for sure. Since I bought one 2 years ago, I've concluded that I will never go back to gas trimmers. (I live in a rural area with a 2 acre yard with vines etc., not a perfect manicured city yard) I'm sure not all of them are great, as for anything you buy, but the one I have is awesome (I'm not trying to take away anything from this great review, so I won't say the name). It's lightweight, it lasts a long time on one charge, it's quiet and you can hear everything your doing (which is amazing), which also saves on string. When needed, the battery will recharge pretty fast, so that's a non issue. Even if I was running them commercially, I would still go battery power, just with a bigger battery of course. The base models are also perfect for residential use.

[@noladude5046]

As a landscaper, battery powered trimmers and blowers are insufficient in providing the power I need to get me and my crew through the day! I understand the narrative you’re pushing lefty but put something in place that allows us to function as a landscape company before eliminating fossil fuels.

I have heard the lst.2 is a newer emissions engine which doesn’t have as much power as the regular lst.

I just bought the 330lk and I have no regrets. By far the best trimmer I've ever used.

[@JenkinsMowing86]

Should of got a 525 if you think that is good the 525 would really impress you

[@JenkinsMowing86]

330LK just a homeowner trimmer

[@bearing_aficionado]

I'm thinking of getting one of those. Still undecided about that or go battery.

[@E.L.C.]

330lk is a decent combi system 👌 but 525lst is the best trimmer

[@alwaysapplypressure2477]

How much for this

[@aronziegler1814]

I had a Husqvarna trimmer for 12 years. It worked great until the day I gave it to my father in law. He still uses it. The thing is 16 years old now. I just switched to electric for less maintenance and never needing to get and mix fuel.

[@letstalkwithandrewlove7880]

What did u switch to

[@aronziegler1814]

@@letstalkwithandrewlove7880 I am already knee deep in Makita tools and batteries, so I thought I'd give their 36v lineup a try. It's been very good. If I didn't already have many batteries for other tools on hand, I probably would have gone with the Ego line, but I haven't been disappointed with the Makita tools. In addition to the trimmer, I've added the edger, blower, pole saw, and chainsaw to the collection. All have been solid tools.

[@stevew3978]

The interviewer pronounced it wrong. It's not pronounced as "huskavarna." There is no Ka sound at the K. It should be pronounced as Husk varna.

I once has a Husqvarna Royal 52S lawnmower. I believe it is used by Mossad as an interrogation tool - because it will drive you crazy - it's just a matter of time. Utter SHAIT!!!

[@southernokie3430]

Well I got news for y’all that a shindaiwa will do as good or better

[@harryballz6358]

I own an original Japanese made Shindiawa T230, excellent trimmer. Recently I went to buy another one but discovered Echo turned the Shindiawa into a homeowner line. It's all they are now. The cheapest part on one is the gear head so whatever you do don't run one without the shield because their gear or clutch one will fail. Echo won't cover either under warranty if they suspect its been ran without its shield. Compare the parts break downs, you'll learn how good/bad a trimmer is built. Look at pics of the parts too, some are beefier built, some look fine in drawings but are plastic. Gotta look before we leap now, clearly buyer beware. Compare old Shindiawa breakdowns to newer youll see Echo picked out the highend Shindiawa's and put them in their Echo line & degraded some down to homeowner specials to sell a cheaper line of trimmers. Its Shindiawa in name only sadly. Some are much heavier and really differ as some were old Echo homeowner designs just Echo added in.

[@harryballz6358]

Btw, I own this Husqvarna 525L too, my Shindiawa never cut like this, the things a beast. It cuts way faster than you can walk. I think I owned umbrellas heavier than this trimmer weighs. Crazy light, crazy smooth, you can one hand this thing while it wastes 3ft tall weeds like its nothing.

[@timw6281]

if they are so great...why are they number one trimmer sold...also a stihl 4mix engine is way more environmentally friendly with a 4 stroke engine vs a traditional 2 stroke with up to 30 percent bypass gas oil mix unburnt...

[@angelisone]

Zack failed to tell you that this is very heavy well over 8 lbs with gas installed. And overpriced trimmer. FYI, Husqvarna died in the self propelled mower because Honda killed it. So much failures on their push & self propelled lawn mowers.

[@angelisone]

@Birdman I was hoping someone do a review or make one for sale that is 8 lbs or less made and designed for cutters. A fancy word for cutters = commercials

[@JenkinsMowing86]

Heavy? Not at all. This trimmer is all around the best out there

[@angelisone]

@@JenkinsMowing86 It's over 12.5kg

[@JenkinsMowing86]

@@angelisone have you used one?

[@angelisone]

@@JenkinsMowing86 Yes, all of these trimmers are way too heavy & dated that pollute the air. Many of the maintenance crews (aka landscapers) are forced to use them working 10hr/day for under $95. While the owners of the maintenance /or grass cutter companies are making a killing.
