Echo 266 weed wacker.

My stihl does still run but has cut a lot of grass for me.I went with a Echo this time.Upgraded on power some 21 cc to a 25cc.My first Echo product.

 

Think its lighter than my Stihl and Echo has a little bigger engine

 

Man the salesman that helped me today said a lot of his comercial guys are using the 266 instead of the 280 because 266 is so much lighter.I aint gone lie I bought a Hitatchi blower last year and I sware I believe you could piss in the gas tank and it still run.Its light,as light as my dads electric maybe lighter.It got real high reviews and after using it ,I see why.

 

They dont make the 266 anymore either.I bought the last one in the store today.Echo changed the 266 to something else but all my research was based on the 266 so that's what I went with.

 

Lmao^

I don't like my Echo, it turns counter clockwise and beats the shit outta my legs when I'm in shorts. Other than that no complaints, my echo blower works great also!

Got a turd Snapper 52 Zero turn....something breaks on the deck once a year. Not real sturdy for an acreage.

 

redmax or shindaiwa as far as weed whackers for me, though I have not had to use a weed whacker for business in a decade, LOL.

 

My Stihl weedeater still runs fine but I have cut a shit ton of grass with it .Im gone service it and retire it for a back up.

 

We have a John Deere weedeater at work which was actually made by Echo and it's prob 15 yrs old.It has caught hell and is still in top condition.This is why I decided to try Echo.

 

Snapper use to be really good .My dad bought one probably been 30 yrs ago .It came with a Kohler engine and my uncle has it now and still cuts grass with it lol.About the only way now days to ensure quality on a riding mower is go comercial with the welded deck.The comercial is just made better and made to last .I mentioned my dads Snapper ,it was just a home owners small riding mower but they just don't make home owner mowers like they use to.Cub Cadet is another example ,and John Deere.Shit you can go to the big box stores and get about any brand and they just aren't made like they use to be.

 

It was supposedly commercial but with a cast deck. I should have spent the 1500 more and went with the Ferris, lesson learned.

 

This is our John Deere weed eater at work.Its about 15 yrs old and still a beast.It was made by Echo!

 

Ok if I'm looking for a chainsaw I want to make sure it has a adjustable oiler and not Automatic oiler.Most of and maybe all homeowner saws have automatic oilers and I havent saw one that I liked.

 

John Deere .Home owners model its about 15 yrs old and runs good.We use it at the shop to keep the grass cut.We have had to fix it a few times but this machine represents a quality home owners mower.It was actually used as a demo when we bought it

 

It sure is bud.
