I have owned both of these trimmers and they are both great professional trimmers. The husqvarna is more powerful than the stihl however it goes through fuel a lot faster and has a smaller tank than the stihl. I have found the husqvarna a lot easier to start as well. The husqvarna has much better anti vibration and has a more comfortable handle. I find the stihl is much easier to feather the throttle compared to the husqvarna and the trigger is much nicer on the stihl. Both great machines but I personally prefer the stihl as it has enough power for me and is comfortable to use.
I mow 30 residential yards and 3 apartment complexes and a trailer park the only weed wackers thst have held up other than replacing buttons or the weedwacker head is the redmax 3060ts. There feel more balanced than any steel or husqvarna. Taking the guards off shortens the shaft life and clutch i was even blowing out the fs 91rs after 3yrs. Ive owned 3 3060ts never had an issue after 6 yrs of heavy duty use. I can say redmax carbs gum up easily even with rec fuel. But hands down stihl blowers best on the market
That "plastic spungy feeling" on the Husqvarna trigger, is very nice when you've been weed eating for 10 hours. The harder everything is, the more punishment you take.
Hello I've been using strimmers/brush cutters for 40 years,ive used many makes McCulloch 21cc MountfieldZenoah63cc Husqvarna 45cc and Stihl 27 2 now I'm on a Stihl FS 460 46 cc I have a Stihl FS 400 40cc its semi retired but does a bit of blade work when required, I've just recently got hold of the FS 86 that I took my strimmer test with,I'm rebuilding it it might get a bit of light trimming work,keep up the good work
I recently purchased the Husqvarna 525rxt here in the UK. I'm not sure if you have the same or a similar model over there but it has the same engine and runs so smooth... Much lower vibrations than the Stihl equivalent and a bit quieter as well.
I’m my opinion husky is the go, much stronger in thick grass and also is built very well. It’s also lighter than the Stihl. Cons are smaller tank, flimsy throttle and not as well balanced.
I have husqvarnar 4 stroke 324R more than 15 years ago .. then fuel line broken , left in garage about 10 years , using many different trimmers .. I have bought Stihl fs94 less than 16 months ,under warranty , I change the new Star plug ,air filter ... At last go to service !?!? They charged me 185 bucks !?!? , Get back to husqvarnar .... more than 10 years in garage ... Change oil , some fuel ...1 lightly pull ! It stars straight away ...😂😇So I change New fuel line ..and working until now ... Victoria Australia...😇😂
True statement! I have a Husqvarna 323L I bought in 2012 that still starts 2-3 pulls cold, 1 pull warm. Its had one primer bulb, 1 air filter & a spark plug since new & I trim 3 acres & two reg size lots weekly with it. I just bought a new 525LST for future because all 2 cycles are going away pretty soon & 4 cycles are too damn heavy. I'm old enough to never need another one. Peace
@@legendarylandscapingaustra6477 Nice man, I’ll think about what I choose. Check out SB mowing if you don’t already know him, he’s actually doing a giveaway on a multi-system. I’m hoping I win 😁 Keep the vids coming man, love em. They do certainly take some time to film and edit though
@@danielslawncare these have been ok as just filmed on the phone and not much editing, whereas when I do action ones with the go pro a full video can have at least 50-100gb of data to edit
Been using both in the States for about 4 years commercially , the Stihl has way more power than the Husq. even though both are rated about the same CC engine size I can do more in less time with the Stihl. Plus you cannot beat the Stihl Warranty, 4 years compared to the Husq. warranty which is I think 6 months
I really like the husky trimmers. Have the 535 LS now. Love it but man it sucks down the gas. The 525 LST will be my next trimmer. I’ve been running echo for a couple years but the vibration on it is a lot compared to others and build quality seems kinda cheap. And echo doesn’t seem to want to stand by their product.
Love my LST, it kicks ass! Easily cuts small trees, thick woody brush & everything else in its path just using Rotary black twist line. True it loves the fuel.
@@adriangaiu2908 : I have a 525lst and give it some pretty heavy duty work. I love it. I have just bought a second hand Shindaiwa line trimmer for lighter work. I like the Brand. I have two of their chainsaws. A 488 and a 352s which have given me sterling service. Not as well known as Stihl and huskies, but they're well made serious tools.

Yeah for sure! Great units. Sorta reluctant to sell the Stihl for the husky but I think my mind is made up 👍
I use 2 Husqvarna 535LK's, and in my uneducated opinion, they are unbeatable!
I agree

i run husky 525rjx and stihl 131r strimmers . both good machines.❤
Great video mate. Thanks for taking the time to make it, with really helpful info 🤙🏻 both awesome trimmers.
Cheers mate, I often go off on tangents but I think I am improving slowly but surely! Cheers for watching mate.

Great comparison, I'm actually looking at giving both these trimmers a try. I currently run echo and love it but always looking to try new things

the head on the 94 is stihls standard auto cut 25-2 head
Yeah, I wasn’t a big fan
Nice vid mate 👍🏼
My trusty stihl finally gave in after 3.5 years and we’re giving the husky a go.
You call 3.5 years trusty? I have had the same husky for 10 years man. Keep up on maintenance and that shit will last forever.
True statement!

you might cut 20 minutes a week. He might cut 20 hours a week. Who knows 🤷♂️
I’m thinking of getting a multi-attachment system. Either Stihl or Bushranger, I’m not too sure.
I cant go past my Stihl km94 check out some of my videos on that. I’ll have to chuck up a review later today on it 👍

Hey Mate, where can you get the kawasaki handles from please? Intersested in trying one out. Cheers

I’ve been running echo for a couple years but the vibration on it is a lot compared to others and build quality seems kinda cheap. And echo doesn’t seem to want to stand by their product.
I went and got the only 525LST in the area yesterday
Love my LST, it kicks ass! Easily cuts small trees, thick woody brush & everything else in its path just using Rotary black twist line. True it loves the fuel.
Another Great Comparison Vid mate 😎
Go the Husky 👍🧡
Cheers mate!
Good stuff man 👍
The reason why the Husqvarna has such a flimsy trigger is there not really breakable you can bend the trigger almost all the way forwards
Nope the sales guy showed me because I had the same statement about there Geiger being kind of Flimsy
You are right. I have owned and run both. Softer for many reasons. Comfort and less vulnerable to breakage.
Husqvarna 525L is the best I like it I own one
525 Husky all day
Whack a 12v torch on it and you could go all night as well 😉
Where's the Echo against these toys?
Nice vid
Husky seems like the better machine overall but it just looks cheap
Not cheap at all
If my 94r gives me problems I'm buying a 525lst
james its brad
k
I totally disagree your way of on quality and engine repairs
Both are junk
And wich ist good?

Well if it aint a poor brat who can't afford nor start an engine chiming off no doubt.
Probably should go take care of all your acne first Jr..
