Thank you, nice to see reviews of used products, gives an honest quality look. I use my machine in hot dusty environment with trimmer line, so I carry in a pouch my line cutter, ear protection (big headphones sweat my ears) and a spare air filter. In a big toolbox also pliers, spare line and other tools, along with fuel mix canister and lunchbox. Greetings
Great review. Tried mine for the first time yesterday and it is brilliant. The brand new Hyundai one that came with the machine is rubbish. I am 60, and worked for 3 hours with the XT yesterday doing HEAVY brush cutting, and felt perfect after I’d finished. I could only do 30 mins with the original before needing a break. Brilliant harness
@@machinesdequalite No problem Herve. I love honest and down to Earth reviews, and yours is spot on. I just subscribed my friend, and I’ll be back (As Arnie once said 😳🤓🤣🤣🤣)
Excellent video Hervé. I hadn't worn mine for a couple of years and couldn't work out what the spare "Ladies' snap connector" was for! A quick view of your video jogged my memory....... how could I forget! Merci beaucoup.
@@machinesdequalite Aye! I have two weed whackers (brush cutters) but use the smaller STIHL more often, because the heavier SHINDAIWA came with a very poor (cheap) shoulder strap. I am looking forward to use the Shindaiwa for extended periods with this harness, as it's a great machine.
Really great and in depth review! I was looking to get a Makita one, quite a bit cheaper, but the Husqvarna seems to have more adjustable details. Might have to look at the Balance XT2 instead. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the harness! ❤
The Pouch is for strimming chord. You should be able to get a couple of head changes worth in the pouch. So if your doing a long footpath you only need a small 1lt fuel can as an extra slung over your shoulder.
Thank you for your comment. It is universal, but I have noticed that the harness steel attachement for the machine get worn fast when using a Sthil machine and need replacing from time to time (Sthil are hooked on metal, Husqvarna on plastic). Hopefully Husqvarna will fix this soon
All good, it seems they gave a lot of thought to the design except one thing - there is no way to move the hook padded support from right to left! I am a lefty and I would like to have the machine hooked on my left side. Bet there are more lefty using the machine out there but is not only for the lefty - let’s say you have a medical problem on your right side and want to use the machine on the left side. Having a movable hook would be much nicer than having a pouch I would say on this expensive harness.
@@machinesdequalite Me either but I don’t see a reason why not have this option of having a movable hook on this new one. I am not advocating for a lefty harness - just want the hook being movable from right to left if someone wants.
@@mihailgfaina I know, but it is like chainsaws, they are made for right handed people. Maybe one day, there will be the other one. This needs to be submitted to the brand.
@@wartem If a shredding blade where to brake at 10.000rpm and hit your leg, do you really beleive that an aid kit of approx 5x4 cm would help you? I am glad you are Swedish, maybe over there you have different ways of doing things, but as long as it work out, it is perfect.
@@machinesdequalite In Sweden you're required to carry a "first aid kit" by law if you work with a trimmer professionally. And by that it means the gauze padding. It can cover quiet a lot of wounds, but yes, by the time the 10.000 RPM blade of doom comes and makes you a leg shorter, then a tourniquet is required over some padding. I have the same harness and the bag is clearly too small and cumbersome to have anything useful in it. I simply carry a large gauze package and tourniquet combo in a pocket instead.
@@machinesdequalite not fully tryed it yet lol i had a shoulder one and my backs been getting very tight i do a graveyard strimming . Rearly hopeing this helps
@@machinesdequalite Im just wondering, Ive had this harness for two years but I got bored of loosing that nail (sorry for bad english) it seems to be made for quick and easy drop of trimmer but its so easy to lose it... I got xtreem just to month ago and the design makes you drop trimmer faster without a vory of loosing it... and its just as comfortable to be in as this maybe even more, but that depends on user I guess
@@dragonmerchant this harness has a security feature that others don't. If for instance you have to run away because of some wild animals or a fire, just with a quick pull the entire machine is out. When this is removed you have to place it back properly if not it will come out of it's place again. I work with an entire forestal brigade and with have no problem whatsoever with these harnesses.

Yes I know. We try to have vehicles always near by to avoid having to carry fuel with us, water, etc. But sometimes we have no choice

GREAT review.
I was looking at this harness on Amazon but was initially put off by the price. This video made me buy it! :)
If you will have a good use for it, you won't regret it 👍

Hey mate, hope you are doing well, I'm just searching for a harness and your video has helped me a lot. Thanks from Brazil.

Thank you very much for your useful review. Brilliant harness.

Awesome video! I just ordered one for working with weed eater and brush cutter
Thank you for your comment 👍
great video, thanks. greetings from Brazil
@@bmandrakeeee8378 thank you for watching my video. Your country is beautiful
Fantastic! Thank you for explaining how to use it for women!
Hi, so far this is the only harness I am aware of that is adapted for women
@@machinesdequalite Yes, I agree. Just bought it!
Very helpful review THANK YOU!
Many thanks for your comment
Yes i got the harness i bought it and also i bought the 525 rx works great never bought this brand but it really works
Always nice to buy quality tools
thanks a lot for this really good review !
Thank you for your kind comment
You should have hooked it up to a weed or bushwaker for better demo. Thanks good job,though.
This will come in other videos, no worries
Is this universal or has something that only allows attachment to husqvarna trimmers?

Very informative, great video!
Thank you - that was very helpful!
Gland to know that 👍
My favorite Harness also!
This it is very nice
Can you switch the hook up plate for the machine from right to left so a lefty could use it?
No it is not possible

Would a small first aid kit fit in the pouch?
The bag is for a first aid kit.
I usually have marking bands in it when thinning so I don't get lost.
😳 A first aid kit, do not fit! 😅. But now thinking about it, it is to fit wires for the ones that do not use the blade.
@@machinesdequalite The kit I'm using fits perfectly. Husqvarna is a Swedish brand and I'm from Sweden.
Yes, another commenter told you that before.

Can you attach it to any trimmer brand
Yes you can
Where can you buy this in Sri Lanka?
I don't know... I don't live there. Can't you buy on internet?
BALANCE XT Very good!
Yes it is excellent
Nice video thanks
