These things are EXPENSIVE!!!

But this one telescope’s out to 16’.. runs great.

I’ve got their 535lk weedeater it’s a beast. Best money I’ve spent on lawn care equipment in a while.

Went to town to buy an Echo, but they were closed...

So got the next best thing.

I bought my Echo PPT 2620 from Bruce last year when he had his 15% sale. It’s a good one.

Husqvarna weed trimmer is superior to Sthil as well IMO

Older echo stuff was DAMN GOOD , haven't fooled with any new stuff .

Best saw on a electric company service truck I ever seen was an echo , I forget how old it was , riding around in that bin bounced around, looked like hell but started and ran perfectly, he had worn out several bars , I believe he still has it and he's been retired 15 years

Get the air bags... you’ll not regret it..
and go with the more robust ones. So you can adjust from the cab,

That's pretty slick. I like the idea of these type of campers, compared to a pull behind. I'd be curious how it makes a pickup handle. How much does it weigh, do you know?

Oh, that's a lot lighter than I thought. It looks huge. That shouldn't be bad at all, as long as it isn't windy.

My auction buy ($40) Stihl's doing fine in spite of how bad it gets treated. There was something about hi prices?

Nope, I get mine for free,

People get pissed off at them for bad carb and they just give me them .

All my sting trimmers are freebies other than new carbs or a part, clutch sometimes.

But all in all I like Husqvarna better.

But I sold every one I had, have 1 Sthil, 1 echo

The outer shell is 2 pieces of laminated fiberglass,

This one also has turtle shell storage on top , that adds weight but not sure how much

Mostly parts not available from the aftermarket.

‘Igor the Hunchback’ got a new fuel tank.

And, ‘The Dip’.

Stihl waiting on a new wrap handle. Borrowed the one off the 034.

I ran across one in VGC! recently from a local buddy $75, scored piston, low compression.
VERY GOOD condition & I told him I'd take it.
I'll meet you in 3 days to grab it, yadda yadda...
He changed his mind in those 3 days!

I dont blame him a bit.

I went out on a limb for ‘Igor’. But, he was a willing runner & cutter w/bar-chain despite the damage.

I'm gonna start naming my saws.
Mostly female names.

I named a 55cc Craftsman once..
"Ben Dover".

I'm not a big fan of working on weedeaters.
I compare working on them like working on a Minimac. (Carl knows what I'm talking about).
So I've always went the cheap route on weedeaters. Still had to work on the things so I went to Lowe's and bought an expensive Husqvarna, got it home, pulled the limiter caps and fattened it up. That was 5 years ago. I got the one that would take attachments. It runs a weed head, a chainsaw head, a blower head, a saw blade head, which is NOT OSHA approved and a tiller head. Let me tell you that tiller head is brutal and the power head has operated flawlessly despite the abuse. I like this one because I don't have to work on it.

That's what I like about my auction eater. Fuel it run it set it down in shed come back repeat.
