- In this video I go over the Maruyama brand of string trimmers, including what I think might be one of the BIGGEST, BADDEST trimmers on the market. Check out Maruyama's website to find a dealer near you -

Very good video. Nice to see a professional talk about a quality trimmer. Thank you again.
Thanks for watching!
Partly because of this video I searched out dealers in my state that carry Maruyama, I have a few dealers in the area but only one stocks the trimmers. I stopped in a demo’d a B27L Turbo and left with one. It’s too bad that such a good brand is so unknown, even in the lawncare industry. I’ve only put a couple tanks of gas through it so far but I absolutely love it, my Stihl FS94 is now up for sale! Thanks for the review!
Awesome! They are a great machine. I think they just need a better marketing team to promote their brand in the US. Thanks for watching.
Is this the same as Proyama ?
How much did it cost in your local dealer?
Great video showing the features and quality of these machines! Played a key role in helping my decision to purchase a new Maruyama B300L Turbo. Machine is a real performer! Anyone looking for a quality machine will not be disappointed.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Matt. I have a Lawn Care Buisness and i am in the search of purchasing two new string trimmers. I am have been in to Echo this las 3 years, but i will like to change. Is Maruyama a good brand for business?
@@pell2211 I am really happy with mine. Starts easily, excellent power and minimal vibration.
Great review video, thank you. Maruyama are a top quality built product. I have one of their blowers, never an issue with it and it has ran for years.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
We have 2 of the 27L turbos, as well as a stick edger, pole chainsaw and 2 bl9000 backpack blowers. Love them all!
Awesome. Thanks for watching
Well presented and informative video on a great product that is not well known.
Thanks for watching!
Some of the best equipment I've ever owned. I love their products.
Awesome! Thanks for watching
i got a maruyama let230 from 2006 and it still runs and cuts amazing( a few months ago) asides from needing a new clutch ive used it since i was 4 never bogged down in tall grass and was extremely light and easy to start even when i was 4 ! im 14 now so its been 10 years and have never needed to replace anything until now
Awesome! Thanks for watching
4 years old weed eating? Lol you better be in sports 😂
@@Zx14rrrrrrrrrrr no i wasnt allowed to play sports :( but yes ive been on a lawn mower since i was 4 months old and my dad bought me a toro zero turn when i was 6 months old even though i couldnt drive it but ive seen pictures of me trying to push the bars, and then he gave me the weed eater at 4
Bought my first Maruyama in 1996, still running to this day. I will only buy Maruyama until I or the company dies first.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
I own a B30L and love it , lots of power . Bought mine at Pittsgrove Power , Pittsgrove , NJ
Awesome. Thanks for watching
Good review thanks mate. 👍
i bought a b42l a few years ago and i love it :)
Awesome. That machine is a MONSTER!
@@PowerEquipmentMan sure is :)
I bought a 23l today and its frickin bad ass
Glad you like! Mine has been a great machine.
What size cut swath does this have? 17", 18"
Definitely a hidden gem in the industry...
Thanks Duane!
I love mine. I have a commercial and residential one. The power speaks for itself. But yeah it has a lot of power. I recommend a strap to put around you. I found mine at Tom’s lawn mower shop in Thibodaux La. He recommended it and I gave it shot. They might be pricy. But worth every penny.
Awesome! Thanks for watching
Maruyama are are awesome tools! 🔥
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for brand introduction! Nicely done!
Glad you liked it!
I had a John Deere XT140 for years and loved it ...had to replace it after theft ...bought a Stihl FS130 to replace it ..I hate the Shihl ..slow on throttle..and I hate the way you have to load string!! These remind me of the John Deere ...will check one out...thanks for info
Thanks for watching!
My pulley is working but not turning the engine over. What is usually the problem when this happens
Theres no dealer for these anywhere near me. Ive always bought the commercial shindawa 350 but since echo bought them out I now buy the echo 410u. That one weighs less than the 42 cc one featured here and has 42.7 cc.
Looking best products to which market will available now.
Thanks I found a store that is local to me and I am going to get the small Marryama weed whacker for my house, I have a small yard and my 10 year Echo I am tired of pulling on the rope, time to get a new unit while I still can.
Thanks for watching!
I've been wanting to buy one but waiting for my Redmax to quit might be a while.
Need to fix my b c 3021 pulley not engaging the engine to start it
The b23l you have there , is that the “consumer” or the commercial model? There’s a considerable price difference.
Good review. Thanks!
All of the Maruyama straight shaft trimmers are considered commercial models. The B23L shown here is commercial.
We have multiple maruyama tools. Trimmers, edgers, blowers, hedge trimmers, pole chainsaws. Love them all.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I got the B30L Turbo
How is it any different
What’s the max cutting width?
Hi cual es mejor sthil 560 o maruyama 240?
I purchased a second Maruyama (B30L) last year to replace a previous Maruyama that I had used for over 30 years. They are such a reliable machine that I searched for a place where I could buy another when my first trimmer wore out. Like you say, they're not readily available. This is my first experience with the head that you can thread and wind. I like this feature but have found it to be very hard to remove the head when necessary. Your video made it look easy, but I have found it to be quite hard to press the 2 tabs and have it come free from the head. I don't know if there is something I am doing wrong, but it almost makes me regret buying this new Maruyama. Do you recommend applying WD40 or something similar to the internals to make it easier to remove?
I have never had any issues getting the head apart on these, but then again I have fairly strong hands from being a mechanic. I would not recommend spraying any lube on the head. The only reason you should ever have to disassemble the head is if the string gets stuck inside, otherwise these is no need to remove the cover just to rewind the head. You could also try a replacement head for it, one I use from Oregon is 55-985 amzn.to/3vvSvDU
@@PowerEquipmentMan Thanks for your response. Maybe I just need to do some hand exercises to get these old man hands a little stronger. Question: is this replacement head (the Oregon 55-985) similar to the Maruyama head? Does it feed and wind in a similar fashion?
@@kentheaps2115 It is a "quick load" head, but you feed the line in from the bottom first then twist to wind.
@@PowerEquipmentMan Thank you very much. Between the Maruyama head and the Oregon 55-985, which do you like the best?
@@kentheaps2115
The Echo - Speed-Feed 400 and the Shakespeare - MAX Load PRO Trimmer Head (Available at Lowes & TSC) are both very popular universal trimmer heads which use the same line loading concept. Personally, I'm aiming on picking up the Shakespeare item soon, myself. Not that I need it but spares are good to have.
I've owned a B30L Turbo for four years now. I'm 44 yro, 6' 3" and even I have a hard time reaching my fingers to push both tabs. It seems ironic, because one doesn't imagine Japanese hands being very large either, but what do I know, I'm in Kentucky.
I have the echo speed feed head which is very similar and I just turn the top part and hold the bottom then that way the string doesn’t get all tangled up as I am trying to feed it into the head. Great video! Maruyama seems to make a solid product. I don’t have great dealer support around me however.
Thanks for the tip!
I would have added the Maruyama name to your title. It's hard to find information on these online for older models, especially in video format. I bought an older one but stickers are all worn off except the emissions one with a 2016 date on it. Tech support said to look for the serial number off the block if it's the older model.
Good idea. Thank you
Could I retrofit another card for these that have high and low needles?
Sorry but I don't have any experience with that.
I like Echo! Tanaka, Sthil, Shindaiwa, Redmax, Husky...but I like my Echo. Never failed me and the x series is the Best!
Thanks for watching
my echo sucks
Echo has a 5 year warranty mine is used commercially and on its 11 year
@@JeffCarsboatsatvs I just bought a Echo 3020t about a week ago. My Sthil 131r kicked the bucket on me with a cam gear failure (4 mix) and I wanted to get away from a 4 mix system. The 3020t blows the 131r out of the water on torque. It does seem to take more fuel though. But that's a great trade off when it comes to the less failure points and more reliability and more power.
What brand is this? I need to do some research thx
Maruyama
Since Tanaka went south with Hitachi, Maruyama is a great substitute.
Thanks for watching
How are the prices compared to other leading brands?
About the same. You will have to check your local area.
Reminds me of the original Red Max/Zenoah/Komatsu machines
I have heard that a lot before.
I'll buy a mx27e. Maruyama are true japanese quality, like mitsubishi.
Awesome! Thanks for watching
I am almost certain these are the old Tanakas before Hitachi came and ruined them.
What's the price point on them?
You will have to ask your nearest dealer.
These are extremely popular here in Hawaii.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Is it light weight?
I believe the B23L and the B30L each weigh 11.2 lbs. The B42L is pretty heavy though.
My Husqvarna did the same way on the line
Advertisment very interested where is the outlet your products ? I would like to buy your products.
We do not sell these products. This was just a review video. Check the website link in the video description to find a dealer near you.
Made in Japan and simply the best!
Thanks for watching!
I purchased a B27L Turbo string trimmer. Everything is good except the fuel tanks have a manufacturing defect. The fuel tanks begin leaking at the seams where they were fused together. I just dropped it off at the dealer where it's repair/tank replacement should be accomplished under Warranty. I owned several Shindaiwa weed trimmers and NEVER had an issue. Maruyama needs to investigate the fuel tanks on this model.
This will be the 2nd fuel tank in 2 years. I own 1.3 acre property so it's not overused
@@Gomoboo Sorry to hear you are having an issue. I have never seen any fuel tank issues before. I hope they get yours taken care of this time!
@@PowerEquipmentMan - Well, FYI the local rep acknowledged that the gas tanks are problematic but he was able to get his hands on a more robust fuel tank. So far, I have had no issues. 🙂👍
@@Gomoboo I have a BT23L. I too had 2 fuel tanks split and leak. Original tank and replacement tank. Finally I plastic welded the tank up with a soldering iron. Took about 15 minutes to weld the tank up with a soldering iron. No drips again.
@@Gomoboo Still love my Maruyama trimmer. It's a freaking beast. Barely get off idle is so powerful.
There echo carb/muffler’s on opposite side just like a Chevy-Buick-GMC-Oldsmobile-Cadillac
Thanks for watching!
I just got a B 270 L turbo. So far, I am very disappointed. I’ve been in business for over 20 years. I have a Maruyama blower that starts on the first or second pull. This thing takes 8 to 10 cranks to start whether it’s cold or hot. I haven’t checked the spark plug yet for the gap to see if it’s correct. And the trigger handle is held on with springs so it’s constantly rotating very weird design. There’s no way of tightening it, so far I give it a fail.
It definitely sounds like yours has an issue. I would take it back to the dealer and have them check it out.
If you ever get to use one of these you will NEVER settle for anything else! Pricey, but well worth it.
Agreed! Thank for watching!
Better than shindawia? I doubt it
Hi how much...
You will have to find a local dealer to get pricing. Thanks for watching!
Im telling you, this Maruyama B23L, crank handle is so painful to pull, because it angular rather than little bit smooth and concave handle. The fuel is leaking through from the cap. You better try even 3 times, you can feel the torture.
I've never heard of anyone having that problem before. It wouldn't be difficult at all to remove that handle and replace it with any handle you want to.
Easy to start...Stihl needs to take notes.
Agreed! Thanks for watching
Are you still using this trimmer?
Yes, I still have several Maruyama trimmers. They all still run great.
@@PowerEquipmentMan I just bought a B300L last fall but not many videos on anything Maruyama. It’s a hidden gem for sure.
Other then the 42cc one its not different than a kawasaki that i used
I actually have a BL30Turbo, and it's an amazing machine.
My top 10 trimmers are:
1.Maruyama (he's a RAMBO warrior but the marketing is very poor)
2.Sthil (same as a Yama in performance, good for makes expensive quotes, but more expensive to maintain)
3.Shindawa (variety of models for every jobs )
4. Eco (does the job well done, and spare parts easy to get.)
5. (Hitachi / Metabo, Tanaka are the same, they are fast, they do not weigh much, and very capable, they are the underdog)
6.Huskvarna is like Hyundai, they have good technology but sometimes it is a risk)
7.RedMax had a good quality and is a balanced trimmer but I don't see professionals using them)
8.TORO It depends which model you buy, to get the job.
9. Ryobi (excellent only for residential uses)
10. Craftman (Ryobi competition, and rookie pro headache)
Great list! I agree
No Honda on the list?
@@abelcarrera2949 Honda only comes in 4Stroke but are awesome machine too.
I take a b42l
Thanks for watching!
I prefer torque over rpm. My echos just do everything I need for less and less CC and weight even on their 3020 X series. I'm not saying mairanna weed trimmers are bad products but they look to heavy and I have to pick trimmers my back can handle which echo not only fits my budget it also is easier for me to carry around for long periods.
Thanks for watching!
Your eyes are an amazing judge of weight, sir.
______Echo SRM-3020___ - Dry Weight without cutting head - 12.1 Pounds
Maruyama B300L Turbo__- Dry Weight without cutting head - 12.2 Pounds
However, if you're truly after the torque, the Turbo Maruyama models' gear reduction is 1.9 : 1. Echo's SRM-3020 is only 1.62 : 1.
The best machine in the world is shindaiwa c350 and B450 case close
Cool. Thanks for watching!
My Husqvarna would last 2 hours in one tank
Thoes look just like the old toro trimmers
Interesting..
And Echo trimmers appear to be Fisher-Price toys.
Going at half throttle burning less gas is actually not good for your trimmer, too much carbon build up, which will cause you to lose power, and will drive you nuts cause everything you diagnose will check out, so many people don't know this, they're designed to go at full throttle, thats how they run at their peak performance
I have been running mine at half throttle 95% of the time since 2014 and it still runs like a champ.
Not necessarily, I use my 18 Year old had from new, Alpine brush cutter, 43cc Mitsubishi engine at approximately half throttle, the majority of the time, never had power drop or muffler issues / whatever, but from the getgo I use(d) Castrol power 1 racing fully synth 2 stoke oil, I think / know from experience with my motorcycle s, that paying extra for highest quality 2 stroke oil really does pay off.
@@jezztech never said it won't run, it just won't run at its optimal performance, talk to a shop person, that works on them daily, Chicanic on youtube is awesome, she has a video about it, plus you ask any landscaper, a weed wacker is 2-3 yrs tops then they throw them to the side, give them to family, keep it for back up etc etc and they buy a new one, so for a lot of guys it doesn't even make a difference, cause by the time it gets to that, they're buying new ones
@@stevescott1962 Yep that's as maybe, the power equipment man, sums it up, but I'm talking about my experience, not a generalization, and specifically to performance drop, due mufflers coking up etc.
Out of stock😢
They're nothing to brag about
Thanks for watching!
Y'all look up the Husqvarna 130l 28cc that's exactly what this is but a cheap knockoff it has all the same features but the motors are way different the Husqvarna motor is way stronger
Interesting. It looks like the Husqvarna is actually the cheap knockoff of the Maruyama. The Maruyama B30L is around $150 more than the Husqvarna.
You are loading it kinda wrong. Spin the top and hold the bottom. Prevents string from tangling up.
