    2021 I bought a Shindaiwa t262x. Exactly 1 year later the motor blew. They did replace the motor under warranty. So this year I was using it and it was "fine". I was ALWAYS a bit boggy and 6 weeks ago it would not start. So I took it in and was thinking it needed a carb etc. 6 weeks. And I...

    I’d like to try a different trimmer head on my Tanaka but I’m unsure what speed feed trimmer head will fit. I purchased an echo speed feed with adapters and none would fit. Does anyone know the arbor size on this model Tanaka or maybe which aftermarket trimmer head would fit?

    Living in an area where gear is a bit limited sucks. My trimmer gave up the ghost yesterday so I NEEDED a trimmer TODAY. I wanted an Echo 2620t. It would fit my needs very nicely. I actually have a local dealer that is very good to me ( i got my exmark zero turn there), but they didn't have...

    Hi folks, I have a Stihl 94r combi engine that is just out of warranty (of course). When I pull an attachment off the last few times the engine shaft comes with it.

    This is the exact reason that I'm seriously considering going electric as far as trimmers go. It's also why I've been recommending electric trimmers to homeowners, since I've started my company a couple of months ago. This carb came off of a Ryobi 26HT trimmer. I bought it about four years...

    I've been getting more properties lately and had a large trimming job come up last week. I had a chance to use a Stihl 131r and it excelled where my 94r struggled a few times. I decided to pick up this beast to use to heavy duty trimming and ditches etc. Just filled it up last night and got...
