Greats video! It’s a great weed trimmer and cutter. Love the easy string wind up head. Line up the arrows, feed about 4ft of line through it, and turn the head. It’s a game changer. I bought the Maxpower 338814 Premium Twisted Trimmer Line .095-Inch after watching Project Farms recommendation and hands down the best line ever. It’s a game changer as well. I advise anyone to buy this line.
Thank you for this video!! My kids bought this for me so I can stop paying people to do things that I like to do. Your video took so.e of the anxiety out of getting started! Thanks again!!@
Video tutorial perfection, I just purchased the exact same product. Please do a video on how TH-camrs should make DIY video's. Even your not gonna use a part of the setup, You show us how to install it. God what a relief.
I use cannula oil for bar chain, because it's environmentally better, does very well to lube bar and chain, not harmful to environment and when it mists, not harmful to you
Cut grass and trees everyone can do it, the clients are made of good kind, amability and good service. Every town put fines to people who don't have good maintenance in their land, you can contact the local office to receive the commission to cut that areas and state pay you a fee (of course low utility than commercial service but...is a continuous work). In other hand if you go to start a little business, buy a better machine, skill o Murray are good options, this machine is for home use. In winter, the business is take off the snow of house entrances and garage. Good for you, be your own boss congratulations
I recently bought a badger 🦡 first off I made the mistake of buying the attachments, which came with chainsaw, hedge trimmer, and curb edger. I'm glad I did so I ordered the badger with the weed eater and got a second blade. Now I switch attachments and keep working. I love the unit 😍 it is way cheaper to have an all in one unit. Works like a charm.
Good job on the video, I've had mine for over a year now and 2nd all of John's positive comments. Really love the limbing saw, I've cut 8" diameter trees with it, no problem. Only negatives I've experienced in my yr + of use is the the original saw blade didn't last long (got dull quick) so replaced it with one with more teeth and higher grade and worked much better, though still got dull in due time--I'm doing a lot of cutting! Also disappointed that they didn't include an edger with the package, need to pay extra to get one of those if you want one. But overall, been a great tool!
Thanks so much, I was using the pole saw on it the other day, I should have taken video! She fired right up, ran like a watch, cut very well, super happy with it! Im sure over time Ill have the same issue you do, but time will tell! Im not cutting any hardwoods though.
When I use the brush cutter or weed eater attachment when I tighten them or if not completely tightened will the blade or round string attachment fly off and if so how do I make sure that they won't fly off
I bought one last year and could never get a complete package that was working there was something major wrong ever time I returned it and got the next one something was wrong so I got my money back and got a ryobi.
I bought mine this past week. I can not for the life of me get it to start. Is there a safety tab or something that I missed? I primed it, 50-1 fuel, put on start, the kill switch is to run. It isn't even remotely turning over, so I feel I must be missing something stupid.
@@JohnVHLife I contacted Wild Badger about this and this is the response I received..... "The shaft on the attachments is 30", and the following brands should be compatible: Ryobi, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Toro, Poulan, Poulan Pro, Weed Eater, Cub Cadet, MTD Pro, John Deer, Yard Machine, Yard Man, McCulloch String Trimmers*. But Wild Badger does not sell an extender for these attachments. *Be sure to check your user manual before purchasing this, or another attachment, for another brand."
Where is the spark plug???? Engine on brand new unit yet it won't even turn over. Followed booklet instructions precisely. Booklet does not show spark plug location.
@@YayaOrchid are you holding down the orange buttons? If so, it won’t start. Just hold onto the body or bar. Also, have the trimmer set at start then when you get it to start, put it on run and then push the orange buttons.
This is very hard to start the first time. I about gave up but after many tries, it finally started. Started right up after that. I was about to return mine as well. Today first time use, very intense vibration using blade. Waiting for company to get back to me.
I was using the blade. Or trying to. The Badger isn't complicated to assemble but did wonder if I did something wrong. I've put plenty together in the past without problem. But now I'm reading of others having the vibration problem. Mine was actually pretty violent, twisting the whole thing around in my hands while trying to hold the handle. The blade itself was very secure, no wiggle room at all. The vibration was enough to loosen screws in different areas, which I'd retighten, try again only to have them come loose again. It seems perhaps some cutters may have this problem while others don't@@JohnVHLife
@@phoenixrising1087 I am having the same issue. Vibration so bad I can't even fully fire it up. The string attachment is fine but I bought it for the blade, and it is completely unusable. Been hoping I could find a fix, but I may have to return it.

Thank you so much. Your video helped me determine if I should buy this. It also helped me assemble and get started.
Thank you! I love to get feedback!
Thanks just bought one , helps to to put thing together when you see it done thanks again
Your welcome!
Great video!! Waiting for mine to arrive. Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks
Fun! Thanks!

We love that you love your Badger!
Oregon bar and chain very nice brand right there .surprised Oregon partnered with badger.
I have so many attachments that I just got a 36" bag to carry and store them all.
We like your style!
i have the 2 in 1 brush cutter. same power head mine just didn't come with the edger/polesaw/hedger attachments. i love mine. its great!
Glad to hear! Im happy with mine too!

I bought mine from lowes and it came with and edger but no saw
thanks for the video. 🙂
Looks useful. I should probably get one 😅
Yeah you do! Link in the description :)
Do it!
That looks pretty handy.

Dang. That’s a bummer. So far so good for me
I’m having the same problem.
@@tommills177 Strange, mine works great still! Getting spark? Getting fuel? Priming the carb?
I don’t have a problem with someone else’s, just with my own. And that’s why I reached out. I’m glad yours is working though.
@@JohnVHLife There is spark, fuel and I always prime and chock. Seems like something is too tight.
What replacement blades can you use with the Badger?
How has the blade held up?
I havent changed mine yet, sorry
@@JohnVHLife Thank you.
Where do you live do you live close by I'm a little confused and I bought the same weed Wacker brush cutter I may need someone to help me assemble it
What oil does it use ?
does it burn off the oils when you start using it
Hows it holding up?
@@joeygreenland2721 great. Still using it!
You assembled your handle backwards
Its exactly like the ad on amazon, so it looks right.
I bought mine this past week. I can not for the life of me get it to start. Is there a safety tab or something that I missed? I primed it, 50-1 fuel, put on start, the kill switch is to run. It isn't even remotely turning over, so I feel I must be missing something stupid.
Odd, choke is on?
@@JohnVHLife Yes, I have even tried flipping it to run and holding the gas while pulling.
@@jeremysilcox9362 remove the plug and test to see if it has spark?
MAKE SURE YOU GOT THE SWITCH TURNED ON, WHEN YOU TRY TO CRANK IT.
how much vibration does this have.. Wild or mild!!! Older lady here
Hmm. I can’t say I noticed. So I’d dare say not much.
Hows it been holding up? Plan on using this to start out with my lawn care business until i can afford a commercial trimmer.
So far its been great, Ive done a bunch more weed eating and pole sawed some branches for a while. Im happy with it.
Thinking about buying this. How has it held up for a year?
Hasnt let me down yet!
@@JohnVHLife looks just a well built as any others. May pull the trigger.
Mine didn't last past the first use.
How’s this thing holding up nowadays?
Still works great!
I recently bought the same setup. I have a problem with the center rod of the attachments falling out. Any thoughts on correcting this problem?
Use the black caps they came with when not in use.
Where do you check the engine oil on this thing? There's nothing about it in owners manual.
Being a two stroke, I dont believe it has any oil.
Is this a confirmed answer, I just want to be sure I’m doing everything right to maintenance my machine 🙂
Is there an extension you can get to make the pole saw or hedge trimmer longer (by about 3 feet). I cannot seem to locate one.
I have wondered the same thing. LMK

Will this work with a 4 cycel weedeater?
I have one-rancid piece of crap. It worked once. 2nd time tried to start, no spark. Tossed it into shop corner, got a Husqvarna from a pawn shop.
Maybe only needed a plug, haha. Glad mine has been flawless for years now..
Can you use pre-mix 50 to 1 fuel? I filled my up brand new weed eater and is will not start
Manual says to mix the fuel 50:1, so it should be fine... pump the primer and use the choke as stated in the manual
@@JohnVHLife I tried everything NEVER started. Had to return it. Thank you.
@@YayaOrchid Bummer!

What is it for that nylon cutting head?
How to add string
Can I use regular gas in it?
Mixed with 2 stroke oil
Noooooooo!
Mine ran twice! Never started again.
Hi, You have not used the nylon cutting head? Or you did?
I have used it alot now, works great.
Be careful it get very hot after the blue cover. It realy needs to be covered or it will burn ur forearm
Do you still have the 350x
You bet. Rode it yesterday.
Why I got one and it shaking too strong, I can't handle it? 😫
You can try our products!
Brush blade shakes bad
good to know, that is what mine is doing and that is why I bought it - for the blade@@SKETCH-om7cn
just bought mine, the vibration is so strong it's shaking the screws loose. Very painful on my hand. This is using the blade.
It gets VERY HOT . NEEDS MORE PLASTIC TO COVER THE FOREARM . JUST MY BE SENT BACK
Who else is here? Lol
I was sleeping. Haha
@@JohnVHLife I probably should have been lol
Still have no clue what that piece is sticking off the handle. It's annoying and in my way
Pretty sure its to rest on your leg, or something.
Must be a big dude! I can't rest it anywhere lol
😂
edging?
Way to far for that
The blade makes it shake a lot
Not really
Mine has a horrible vibration. Waiting for the company to get back to me.

Do not buy
Why not, mine still works great!
Why? Please explain what’s bad?
Garbage don't buy

Does it hold oil?
The saw head does
