    I have had a 225 since1988. I put a saw blade on it from day one. I use it to keep the brush trimmed back from my driveway and small nuisance trees. Goes thru them like crap thru a goose. Never rebuilt.

      I'm impressed with how well this thing has held up for me, they are built like tanks!

      For supposedly an entry level “home owner” model from Echo, it can really take a lot! Thanks for watching!

    its crazy how some people knock this trimmer for power. they usually have the gaurd off with a foot of string on each side too. i think people rely to much on brute power instead of technique. the price points are usually over a hundred dollars on comparable models. thank you for showing what it is capable of.

      Its been a great trimmer for me, and more than capable for any average sized yard...or farm house in this case lol.

      Dude bc it does have less power... a stihl fs 131R, fs 250, fs 240R, and so many more wont even have to cut this from top to bottom, itll just go straight into the bottom. I have both srm 225 and stihl fs 131R.. the 131R is just simply so so much more powerful, its just way heavier lol

    Do you think 2 of these would do well on weed control of 12 acres of land?

    • @DIYDad1
      @DIYDad1  2 месяца назад +1

      That's a heck of a lot of land to clear lol honestly though, throw a brush cutter head on one of them for the thicker stuff and keep the string line head on the other one for the lighter grass. Echo makes a few models with larger displacement engines as well, more for commercial use and heavy duty use. The srm225 here is 21.2 cc engine. Something like a 2620 will have a 25.4cc engine and give you more torque for tougher jobs they cost almost twice as much as this one though.

    You need to pull the brass plug out of the carb by the way, there is more power to be had, yours is running to rich.

      Considering it’s the smallest 2 stroke that echo makes I’d say it handled it just fine 😁. Thanks for watching!
