When I was growing up we always had what we called "The Man Eater" mower for fence lines and trimming. It had an actual lawnmower blade out front and was self propelled. The first thing we did was remove all of the guards and shields so it didnt bog up. Spent many a summers running them between fence rows and fields. It was a hot and itchy job!👍
hi handsome, I just bought a etoro 58620. I love it. I just bought 5 lbs of Culparis round 0.155 string and Oregon 22-570 Round, 5 lbs, Black 0.170 string. I also bought Yello Rihno from Homedepot 0.155 I'm soaking that for 24 hrs. I will give you my honest reviews once I use them. I'm cutting trying to cut through 2.5 thick, Fennel.
Great little trimmer. I bought arens several years back. It don’t have much clearance on back. Wish bought something different. So can roll over rocks little better. If that’s all it take to buy something like that to not have to do it all yourself it’s definitely worth it
I agree the walk behind trimming is an awesome piece of equipment that really saves time when trimming tall grass. I’ve got the DR brand and it’s works awesome.👍TCT
Great buy 👍 We have Husky's version. Great for fence line trimming. What I don't like about it is if you have to change the drive belt, you have to basically tear it all apart to get to it 😡 I hope Echo's is not the same. We found that the square shaped trimmer string works best and lasts the longest. Weed eating will always suck, but this machine will make it faster and a little more fun.
I think it will have to be taken apart to change the belt. They do that, so you aren't getting grass and debris in by the belt. I feel belt should last a long while.
You could look up the motor that is on it to get the location of the spark plug. I would guess it's on the front mabey under plastic cover. Hard starting could be from a dirty air filter or fuel issue. I run ethanol free fuel in all my small engine stuff.

The guards do catch a lot of stuff.
@@BertsCustomCuts Yours is pretty open compared to what I had.

I have heard soaking them helps. I still have to pick up some extra string yet.
That thing is wicked good!
You should try it out and make a video.

That thing is useful!!
It sure is! It will be used a lot.

LGB and Super FJB!!!!!

Hi Bert look very good and fast love it ( Ty Ron
It works great and will get used a lot this summer.

Much better than a "Scythe" that what my grandparents used!
I have used them before as well. Fun dangerous tools.
Wow! That thing is no joke. It didn't slow down a bit, even in the tall thick stuff.
My only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner.
They are the cats meow Bert I have one and love it, the string is very durable and it cuts most everything including small trees
The line that came with it isn't the best but works. I will get some good stuff and add a tube on machine to carry them with.
Bert just like a lawn mower, but useful close to fence lines and long grass😁
Enjoy Gavin😁
It would work good as a mower.
Neat tool. Lots of power. I’ve wanted one of those to cut my ditch at home. I think it would work good. But never got one.
It works great and is easy to push around. They also make it with a self-propelled option.
👍🏻👍🏻
seems like a win win to me
It works great and will be used a lot.
What an effective tool around the farm. The Echo is nice also. Sorry Gavin
It would even be nice for homeowners yards as well.
String definitely outlasts regular weed whip string!
It should last longer since it's double the size.
Nice piece of equipment / serious weed wacker.
It sure is.
I call em 5 timers.
For anyone that wants to mow no more then 5 times a year.
I like it for getting in where the mower doesn't fit.
Great little machine Gavin to make a summer buck or Benjamin 😊. There more money 💴 cut grass them into the firewood 🪵 business 🧑💼. 😊
I dont think he will let me use it. He has fun playing with it.
I have a hard time starting mine. Can anyone show where the spark plug is situated in this machine, manual is useless. Many thanks.

Dang, did you give Gavin a "grow pill"? Seems he grew a foot since I last saw him in a video. 😃
He's growing like a weed.
So DR Trimmers still are a thing?
Yup, and they work great.
