    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

      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. 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 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

    Can you switch the hook up plate for the machine from right to left so a lefty could use it?

  • @mihailgfaina
    @mihailgfaina Год назад +1

    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 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.

      @@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.
