Currently taking apart a 128LD my inlaws gave me. It sat in the yard for about a year. The cylinder and piston had internal rust from moisture sitting in there, got new cylinder and pistol kit for $45. We'll see how it goes once parts come in.
@@djancak yes, I got it installed and I managed to strip the key way that holds the flywheel in position after I got it to crank for a few seconds. Now waiting for the new flywheel to come in haha. But it did run for those few moments.
As i used to use a weedeater everyday working at my grandfathers landscaping company(summer lawn maintenance) the 525lst was the best weedeater i ever used. Lighter and more power then anyother weedeater. Take the gard off and let a little string out. Makes work alot easyer.
I use my 128 LD with stock attachment for trimming taller grass. Like fescue. I have a straight shaft attachment with a steel head, or pancake head and I use it for edging and trimming hybrid and or Bermuda lawns. Also have a curve shaft. Just so everyone knows. The reason I bought the 128 was because all and I mean ALL old Craftsman , Ryobi or click link attachments work with this trimmer. Expand it, and click link are the same thing. I have attachments 15 years old and the all work in the 128 LD
I retired an old Stihl trimmer that had served me well for many, many years and decided to go to the local big box store and bought a Husqvarna trimmer. Thus far, it has been a disappointment. It's heavier than the Stihl I had before, and somehow the string head doesn't spin as freely - it takes power from the motor to muscle it into motion. Feels like a brake is being applied to the head assembly. I've also struggled to get this Husqvarna to idle correctly. When it started going dead on idle, I adjusted the idle up and it didn't take long for it to return to the low idle again - going dead the second I let off the throttle. This, of course, is just one man's experience but I'm going back to Stihl ASAP.
Over here in England husqvarna actually makes attachments for there combi systems, planning on getting the husqvarna 525rjx or what you call the husqvarna 525lst
I've have used a friend's Husqvarna string trimmer 323l I think it's called that has so much power that my arms flare up bigger and show my veins every time i squeeze the trigger now That's a weed eater with some power and it's lightweight it's a flawless trimmer I've used I wished I could owned one of them my self alone with my Stihl fs56 RC string trimmer side by side
Why is the 128ld less expensive if it has more CC than the others? I’ve always wondered that. Use my 128ld for my business and love it. It’s gonna be a back up for next year and used for attachments and mainly use a STIHL trimmer of some sort.
Husqvarna 128LD combi tool is a bargain for those 220$ but the problem is that the attachments cost almost as much as a trimmer itself. For example edger is 170$. Hedge trimmer is 160$. That is way way too much...On the other had that 525 is a beast. I use it commercially for years now. I used it's predecessor 323 R-II for 7-8 years professionally without a single service.It was the same spark plug, the same air filter.. Incredible...Of course the 525 is even more powerful... Husqvarna earned my respect and trust so I'll be using their trimmers until they disappoint me. And that would have to be a serious disappointment. .
I just bought a 128ld and I love it! Also what is your opinion on the pas-230 and what is your opinion on the pro attachment series and the kombisystem
PAS I dont have an opinion. As I dont own one.I hear bad things but who knows. Anything stihl or husqvarna will be great! Husqvarna has a 128ldx as well.It will use the husqvarna brand attachments.525 has a kombi version as well.I will get the 525 kombi next.My 128 ld has been great! Actually has over delivered on my expectations!
I used to have a 223l It was my first trimmer, and I instantly liked it Unfortunately, it was stolen out of my garage I just dropped on a 525lst mark ii, and a 336fr
I’ve got a Husky 324l that is awesome. I’ve also got an Echo 2620 which is okay. I’m thinking of selling the 2620 and replacing with a 525l. My question is which is your preference 2620 or 525l based on your experience? Thanks!
I have the 525lst.I love my 2620t and my 525lst.So I am keeping both.Now going forward I will be getting 525lst from now on.As I love my dealer.the 2620 is so much heavier then the 525.the 2620 has way better handles and more comfortable.Both have a good head angle.525 starts easier and better on fuel.There is roomers of husky changing the handles.If they make it more comfortable then husky will be hard to beat.
eXterminator I’m fortunate that the Husky handles are comfortable for me but I’d like to see what they got coming. I agree the Echo 2620 is hard to pull especially after a long hot day. But they do always start on 1 or 2 pulls. The Husky though is ridiculously easy to pull and unbelievably smooth and quiet. My 324l is 12lbs like the 2620 but feels lighter to maneuver and use. Can’t imagine what the 525 must feel like being 2 lbs lighter.
324 is a 4 stroke with a honda engine. so cant really compare with a 2 stroke.my 2620 is easy to pull usually starts cold in 3 pulls.echo handles have rubber padding as huky has just plastic.525 and stihl 94r are super similar in weight and power.I prefer them but echo is more comfortable.husky needs to change the antivid handle on their commercial trimmers.hurts my wrist.my new 525 pole saw has it even.just whatever you like is all that matters.the top brands are all good
I have the 128LD with all of the attachments. Been working great, I have no complaints. How do you compare the 128LD with the attachments compared to the much higher prices Stihl Kombi system?
commercial grade ones are of course better.128 has been good to me though.when it goes out i will get the husqvarna kombi 525.Stihl of course makes high end stuff , so good choice as well.
I use a 223L for my business. I really like how light weight it is however I have never been burnt by it but I have been really badly shocked by it. I have used it extensively beyond what it should be and it hasn't let me down. This year I am looking to buy another trimmer and of course everyone is directing me to Stihl but the Husqvarna has been so good to me it almost has me wanting to buy Husqvarna. I also have a backpack blower of theirs and it is really good.
If I buy the 525l from Lowes can I putt the higher torque gear box on it to make it the lst , or should I buy the 525 to replace my 128ld and then get the echo2620t for the heavy stuff or even the 3020t
Also I agree with you the 128 is a bit short but it has made me a lot of money I run it right alongside my Milwaukee trimmer (which is phenomenal using the xp force line .105 it will cut through dime sized brush ,even the woody stuff highly recommend you try it out if you do pop a Stihl autocut head on it or a t35 it definitely adds to the cutting power and the machine handles it nicely ) and I also have the Stihl fs55 which is currently having the carb replaced that I got for free cause someone was gonna throw it away after they couldn't sell it and let me tell you what that thing destroys Whatever is in front of it love your vids as a fellow power tool addict I have the same addiction for trimmers as you but I've also got a bad itch for chainsaws ! Let me know if you wanna trade a saw for a trimmer !
It may have a smaller motor, but it's a better motor with more power. Plus it's a professional machine vs a residential machine, builtwith much better and much lighter materials.
How's the 525 l works, I have a Stihl 560 ,it's a beast, know 110 r good ,redmax don't like ,but my favorite believe it or not the Hitachi trimmer ,to me better than Stihl 110, and redmax but been thinking of a husky 525l,heard the torque is awesome you recommend
I am thinking about buying a husqvarna mz series write now they got a deal like if you buy a mz series you get 2 pieces of equipment with it 125b blower and a 525lk multi purpose trimmer
128ld works with mtd labels and husqvarna's poulan brand.128ldx works with husqvarna brand ones.so those are dif.unless your talking about stihl and echo being compatible
I know nothing on echo. And stilh kombi excepts ryobi and whatnot but those power heads dont take stihl i believe. But my poimt was husqvarna has 2 diffent setups. Gets very confusing honestly, thanks for doimg videos on them. Wish i had money to buy all multi tool setup and test them all on each other
I was just talking to a Husqvarna rep the other day about the 535(see my new video).I can not answer you unfortunately. Sure my echo 2620t is basically the same trimmer as the shin.Never owned or used a 535.However the 535 is on my short list.So I will have one soon hopefully. I am sure either trimmer will serve you well!

Why are there not many videos of the 535LK? I've had one for while now and it's excellent, 2.2 HP and shed loads of torque. Highly recommend one!

if you put those three trimmer in a race which one would win. how you compare in power and clean cut
Can you tell me witch way the head turns clockwise or counterclockwise
with a bevel gear it always turns left
It sept me I've haven't used it yet
Time to add a 224L to the line up!
lol If i got one for free.
I'm trying to find a brush cutter for my 128ld. Did you say the Kombi system attachments work on the 128ld?
MTD attachments work on it. called 'trimmer plus'

yes they r really good

i have 3 yard machines y26cs and 1 cub cadet ss418( 2 troy Bilt tb590cs and 525) same just different color 4 stroke .
just checking this brand out .
Has anyone ever looked to see is a 128 trigger will fit a 525?
The 128LD has a 28cc engine, Yet the 525L has a 25cc engine. Why is the 525L more expensive?
astonebrook91 because it’s a 4-stroke engine

I know what blower you are talking about. That new echo blower even smokes all red max models
I have a 128 light but has lost some power after 4 years
I am thinking about buying a husqvarna mz series write now they got a deal like if you buy a mz series you get 2 pieces of equipment with it 125b blower and a 525lk multi purpose trimmer
sounds like a good deal!
Does the echo gearbox fit onto the husqvarna?
Probably not
I like my 128
do the stihl attachment fit the husqvarna trimmer head ???????????
i think the 128ldx will but not the 128ld.the 128ld wont even fit husqvarna attachments only trimmer plus/mtd attachments. so get a 128ldx not ld
Where do you get you bottom plate on the engine
They come with the 525ls and 525lst
Thanks. I'm looking into buying my first trimmer can't decide between 128ld or 535LK. Need a multi tool for power broom and cultivator
how to Stihl and husqvarna compare ?
i like em both tbh.cant go wrong with either
From what i have seen stihl kombi works with all the others and husqvarna "comercial"multi system is reversed and cant be used on the husqvarna 128ld.
128ld works with mtd labels and husqvarna's poulan brand.128ldx works with husqvarna brand ones.so those are dif.unless your talking about stihl and echo being compatible
I know nothing on echo. And stilh kombi excepts ryobi and whatnot but those power heads dont take stihl i believe. But my poimt was husqvarna has 2 diffent setups. Gets very confusing honestly, thanks for doimg videos on them. Wish i had money to buy all multi tool setup and test them all on each other
meant echo 280
I’m debating between the Husqy 535lst and the Shindaiwa T262.
Which would you choose?
I was just talking to a Husqvarna rep the other day about the 535(see my new video).I can not answer you unfortunately. Sure my echo 2620t is basically the same trimmer as the shin.Never owned or used a 535.However the 535 is on my short list.So I will have one soon hopefully. I am sure either trimmer will serve you well!
Sorry, I meant the 525 LST. Do you reach for the Husqy or the 2620t more often?
Like i said in a video recently,I almost always use the 525lst.But when we do over grown lawns I use the 2620t.2620t has more torque.
Did they happen to mention a soft touch handle? I like the anti vibration but if they could make it soft touch it’d be amazing.
nope.i wished they did
or for light duty a 225 or 266
i have a echo 225 and a 2620t which is basically a commercial version of the 266.
324L
get a stihl 280 way better
these are trimmers.280 is a chainsaw.
Stihl for chainsaws not weedwackers husky 525lst is the best echo 266 next in line period 25 years of working them commercial grade last 15 years and still runs
