I've got the 224L I bought 17yrs ago and still use it today. Just picked up a 324L for my son. So far these trimmers have never failed me. Love the 4stroke trimmers.
I own a 525 L, and it’s a fantastic trimmer. Starts quick, super snappy, tons of power for a small displacement engine, and it sips fuel! And it’s quiet too!
Thanks for the shout man! Yeah we all getting old! I still love my 224L or whatever they call it now days, 324L maybe. It's bulletproof and so quiet! That display reminds me of how Echo displays their equipment at Home Depot. Whatever zero turn is at 10:13 is clearly who manufactured cub cadets zero turn, look at the frame. I graduated college earlier this year, and now work as an engineer at a major tractor and turf equipment manufacturer. :)
Got to love the Husqvarna 130bt backpack blower. Best blower that I've ever used for residential use. Don't use cheap oil on any good quality equipment or else it won't run right and that happened to me. Use high quality oil like echo red armor. You would not be disappointed
That how I started with Husqvarna. Its nice that lows is caring the pro line now. Have you seen the chainsaw display. Crazy. . And they cary 570 and 560 blowers.
I like watching your videos of you looking at new equipment your like a kid on Christmas,now you got me looking at equipment at Lowe’s and Home Depot anyway keep up the videos
They are merchandising by price point, not by similar item. Minor but easier that way for most shoppers. I cant wait to pick up my new trimmer! Thanks for the video bro
My 525 L broke after 2 months, no compression. Took back to Lowes but the only thing they can do is sent it in for repair. Lowes is not for Pro`s, pro`s can`t wait.
the 233l and the 128l not ld and i just got the 129l i think there great for residential yous that 523 i don't like its design with the handle my uncles got the 4 stroke model and the throttle is not so variable you have to run it on full out you can't got lite with it just over cuts
How is the 128 ld with the detachable shaft? Looking for something for light too heavy duty farm work, mainly y’all weeds. Would the 128 ld from Lowe’s that’s on sale for 199 be a good pick up?
What is the difference in the 525L and LS? I hear some say, the drive shaft, but what exactly is different and does it matter? Is the 525L good to go? How does it compare to something similar in RedMax?
@@danmac1827 the reason they bought redmax was for the engines.stihleven used redmax engines in the old fs85s.but husky told me that.cpurse u can take em apart or look up part numbers to further prove
@@exterminator1 hey thanks for the info. I knew husqvarna owned redmax, but I wasn’t for sure they were the same engines. I don’t know that I’m prepared to spend the LST $$, 300 is about my max. When I started shopping I was just going to get a $200 echo at Home Depot. Now here I am looking at $300 RMs, Stihls and Huskys. Thanks again, I’ve been enjoying the videos.
I just picked up a 128 CD curve shaft at Lowe’s for $40 on clearance, can I convert the curve shaft to a straight shaft? Also will it take all of the same trimmer head attachments the LD does? I was told curve shafts spin counter clockwise or something, I’m not sure if that matters
the 525L belongs in Lowe's its under powered in my opinion. I always grab it though because its light but I still like Stihl more so far. I havent used a 525LST or anything bigger yet though
i have the 150bt , 725awd, 128Ld and i will be picking up the 525L today, guess im the newest husqvarna fan boy lol. I have a hustler raptor with 35 hrs so that will be around for a while before a husky replaces it tho! I think the 150 and the 350bt are the same blower.
@@exterminator1 you are absolutely correct. While I was at the dealer today and they where installing my speed feed head I read the specs in both blowers and they are different
How do you find the 125bv? I hear that the 125b have issues like the engine wearing out quickly leading to engine failure. I wanted to buy one but after i seen the reviews i was a bit reluctant.
I was in Lowes the other day looking at the new lawn care equipment displays. Strange seeing all the Craftsman stuff, thought I was in Sears lol. Also I realized, no more Troy-Bilt.
I bought the Husqvarna 525 LS from a dealer in Clintwood I got it for just a little more than the 525 L I can't wait to try it out this Spring. I love the metal plate at the bottom of the gas tank.
I just purchased a 128 cd for my girlfriend she wanted the curved model she 5'2" .I was wondering what's wrong with the curved model .I don't know squat about trimmers
I love husqvarna! With that being said echo is listening to their consumers far more than any other bran including husqvarna, and stihl. I don’t think stihl cares what people care or think about their trimmers because the think they are the best. I think they are great but best? That’s questionable what do you think?
Rogers’ Lawn Care Kawasaki all the way they make most of the motors for the high end stuff like tmc shindawa ect you get all your bang for your buck with kawasaki i got a weed trimmer going on strong passed on from my departed uncle i had to do was change some seals lines and clean the carb and good as new
Lowe's has the same display in my town and I checked out the Husky trimmers and I don't like the handle, how it moves around. Is that normal for their handles on the trimmers?
@@exterminator1 Yep I do have a Lowe's but I prefer to deal with a dealer went it comes to lawn equipment. Those folks in my Lowe's....well let's just say that don't know much about lawn equipment.
real? I spoke to Husqvarna reps and knew which was releasing.Its real of course.Lowes replaces up to a year and after you take it to a husqvarna dealer for warranty work.Never had to with mine though.Any of the top brands usually never need warranty work.Unless end user leaves ethanol fuel in them over winter.
@@exterminator1 i jusy know lowes buys tons of items and sticks them in storage before putting them out. I was looking at kitchen appliances and when i compared lowes to hhgreg... the lowes appliances were a model year old. Not the current line. That 128ld in your video i have from 6 years ago had the 129ldx newer model and thats 2 years old
@@strykerv1620 ldx work with husqvarna labeled attachments and the ld has the residential square connector.not a newer model.Just a dif trimmer.They have a large selection.Most are through dealer only.lowes will outsell most so they will have the newest stock.again only dealer has the complete collection.kitchen appliances are sold when needed.maybe some models dont sell well or you was looking at the floor model? I do not work for lowes or have any affiliation.So i am not defending them just saying.
I actually just bought a justrite 5 gal can (rural king $30), I like it better because the handle is metal vs the eagle can , it has a nylon handle. I trimmed the end of the funnel , so the gas comes out faster. One thing about them , you don't have to worry about them swelling up or collapsing. Plus they last a lifetime. Made in USA. I think you'll be happy with the metal can for sure. Pretty sure they make a 2.5 gal for the 2 stroke stuff..I'll throw a pic up of my cans today on instagram and tag you in it. www.ruralking.com/justrite-5-gallon-safety-can

What is the lightest straight shaft commercial grade trimmer for just home use?
150bt and 350bt are basically they same. I love my 150bt runs like a champ starts every time! I think the 350bt is built a bit better then the 150bt
I just got a 525 L I had a 128ld the 525l is a monster compared to the 128ld omggg so far the bang for your buck 525L is the power house
It's once you go to the best it's hard to try the rest I love you dude lol
I love my Husqvarna Combi 128ld but I wish it had a better handle than just a Loop style & rubber grip
Here in Australia we have a 522L is it comparable to the 525L ?
My 525 L broke after 2 months, no compression. Took back to Lowes but the only thing they can do is sent it in for repair. Lowes is not for Pro`s, pro`s can`t wait.
What I did was buy another new one and return the broken one for a full return within 30days
the 233l and the 128l not ld and i just got the 129l i think there great for residential yous that 523 i don't like its design with the handle my uncles got the 4 stroke model and the throttle is not so variable you have to run it on full out you can't got lite with it just over cuts
I got the husqvarna 525L and I love it I put a speedfeed 450 and it's even better.
I have the 450s on my 525lst and gonna be on my 535lk.Love them!
I have the 324l and it’s worked amazing for me
Love watching your videos. Thanks for making videos bud.
How is the 128 ld with the detachable shaft? Looking for something for light too heavy duty farm work, mainly y’all weeds. Would the 128 ld from Lowe’s that’s on sale for 199 be a good pick up?
It's a great trimmer.mine has lasted 5 years so far.I prefer the 5 series husqvarna. 525lst would meet your expectations and then some
you and me gots the dame sickness. love it HUsqvarna !. yep they got the 570 bts blower too. . crazy about time right.
Bought a 525l earlier today!
What is the difference in the 525L and LS? I hear some say, the drive shaft, but what exactly is different and does it matter? Is the 525L good to go? How does it compare to something similar in RedMax?
metal guard and lower engine hp. L is the entry level commercial. I recommend the LST
Also Husqvarna owns redmax. They use same engines in both and gear boxes etc.
@@exterminator1 Do you know for certain that they are using the same exact engines? Because I’ve been very happy with my redmax, 14 years old.

I noticed that they don't have the Husqvarna 522L, i just purchased the 522L in Australia, its a very nice machine.
522l and other husqvarnas are dealer only.Lowes isnt a dealer just sell a small amount. I get mine at a dealer.
How is your 522L trimmer doing?
do they make a cutter head that fits the 525 lst for cutting heavy brush and small trees ?
I just picked up a 128 CD curve shaft at Lowe’s for $40 on clearance, can I convert the curve shaft to a straight shaft? Also will it take all of the same trimmer head attachments the LD does? I was told curve shafts spin counter clockwise or something, I’m not sure if that matters
all trimmers spin clockwise. the straight shaft gear box reverses it
Tht husq trimmer line is the shit ive tried everything its #1
Wouldn't swap my 535LK for anything! Very easy to use and a shed load of power & attachments!!
I dont see why u would though.i like mine as well
Ive never been huge on the 455. Its a wonderful saw, but it seems like the oilers fail annually. Awesome engine tho
no probs with mine
the 525L belongs in Lowe's its under powered in my opinion. I always grab it though because its light but I still like Stihl more so far. I havent used a 525LST or anything bigger yet though
Excellent - Very helpful advice.
Many thanks......all the way from London !
glad u liked it. thanks bud!
@@exterminator1 I am obsessed with trimmer line too
Nice I got all husky but my push mower will be soon. I got my stuff from dealer over lowes

I am not a fan of them. Get the 525 blower.
I can't say anything I've got the 525l and all Husqvarna accessories chainsaw everything everything I got Husqvarna
Does Husqvarna still make the 525 series?
Of course they do.it is their top line.525ls and 525lst.
I was in Lowes the other day looking at the new lawn care equipment displays. Strange seeing all the Craftsman stuff, thought I was in Sears lol. Also I realized, no more Troy-Bilt.
watch my last vid.I discuss that :)
What cutter do I need for brush??
depends on your trimmer
Does anyone know if the 128ld is made in Sweden like the 525ls?
Does the Husqvarna 525 L have a solid steel drive shaft. And where is the closest Red Max dealer from Wise Virginia.
I am sure it has a solid shaft.My 525lst does.I believe most of their trimmers are except of coarse curved shaft one.Kingsport Has a redmax dealer
@@exterminator1 Thank you.
I bought the Husqvarna 525 LS from a dealer in Clintwood I got it for just a little more than the 525 L I can't wait to try it out this Spring. I love the metal plate at the bottom of the gas tank.
