How to Bullet Proof Your Echo Speed Feed 500 Trimmer Head

[@davids9139]

Thank You SO MUCH!!!! I have the generic Chinese speed feed 450 and I used a lock nut and a 3/4" bolt along with the fender and flat washers. It works perfectly!!! Thank you so much for this, you're a blessing!!!

[@thurm101]

I am going to order a cheap one also. Where did u get it?

Great video great idea always wearing out bump and feed with still 25-2 auto decided to echo feed speed and bullet proofing looks really good

[@brokedownsuperman]

Thanks for making the video! You helped me! Take care!

[@NealVio]

Brother! Thank you. That will definitely solve the main problem, especially when you have idiot workers who DON'T LISTEN and slam it down on concrete.

[@appleztooranges]

This is a good idea. Going to wait til I have a hole in mine than do it to it.

[@glennanderson5335]

Thanks for the video. I’m gonna try that with mine

[@tomyousch7070]

Excellent fix!!

[@Krumholt]

Does the 500 load a different direction?

[@AllanB-c6j]

Russell, you like the speed head ? (On the Echo and Shindawa)
easy to re-load trimmer line ?

[@GwinnettLawns]

It’s an excellent trimmer head.

Bullet proofed a 400 off this vid……Thank you!👏🏻🇺🇸👏🏻

[@harryberry474]

I'm going to do this and I'll be using Loctite Red making it magnum bullet proof! haha

Always preferred the 400 over the 450. I liked that the 500 was a little taller than the 450. Same height as 400?

[@Justthemow]

Ok but I still don’t understand what it’s for why put the bolt threw the head is there some sorta advantage to it what’s bullet proof about it. I like the speed feed 400 for the weight I run my string trimmer all day I like to trim I let my employees ride the machines I don’t like sitting down all day.

[@GwinnettLawns]

Basically, the bolt will make the cap last almost indefinitely. When you tap it on the concrete, it hits the bolt instead of the plastic. I’ve never had to replace a cap since I’ve put bolts in all mine the wait is negligible it’s a few grams.

[@Justthemow]

@@GwinnettLawns ah ok I get it what about the eyelets wearing out though usually my eyelets wear out before my cap does.

[@GwinnettLawns]

@@Justthemow i’ve never had eyelets wear through. What type of line do you use?

[@Justthemow]

@@GwinnettLawns shindawa super twist

[@patrickpk6299]

throw some locktite on it too

[@rodneybradleyii890]

A carriage bolt works better. Every thing else stays the same....
