Excellent mower
The white core is for Right turn/clockwise trimmers. Yours should be the black core for Left turn/counter-clockwise trimmers.
Great Review of the Trimmer. Thank You.
That thing moves fast wow
The video footage was sped up to 2X speed. This mower definitely will move fast though but I wouldn’t mow at that speed on this lawn. It’s way too bumpy and cut quality would be compromised.
As with anything, if it says "PRO" on it, it probably isn't 😂. Thank you for the cutter reversing tip. I was going through line like crazy.
Batteries are a scam
Ive got several battery powered trimmers and blowers and theyre all junk
That $300 battery will be no good in a couple years ive got two bad ones already
Look into Kress Commercial. It’s what I’m using now. I’ve got a bunch of recent videos on them. Amazing battery technology with batteries able to recharge from 0-100% in as little as 8 minutes. They also have an industry leading 6 year 3000 charge cycle warranty.
I tried already. All good. I have scala 2 grundfos pump also. But controller cant run all sprinkles at same time. Very bad
With “some” not all… Kress and CAT brand OPE appear to be the same. Compare CAT and the Non Commercial Kress tools and you will see they are just a different color. I cannot confirm that the battery pins are the same, however they are made by the same manufacturer. I do believe the commercial line isn’t a clone at all. The batteries and tools aren’t offered by CAT. This doesn’t at all take away from either brand. They both look and appear to be awesome.
Yes some of the residential Kress is the same as the CAT version as the parent company Positec owns both. You are also correct in that The Kress Commercial stuff is completely different. It uses their proprietary battery chemistry that allows for the super fast 8 minute recharges and amazing 6 year 3000 charge cycle warranty. The nice thing though is the batteries whether commercial or residential can be used interchangeably. Thanks for watching.
@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess I spoke to a representitive from Kress while trying to find a dealer… they said the Cat was not the same. It’s good to hear the commercial Is diffrent.
I've just started sharpening my blades on zero turn mower. I notice there are videos showing blades placed on a nail afterwards to see if both sides of a blade are balanced. Do you recommend doing this? Making sure your blades are balanced? Secondly, should the 3 blades be placed back on the mower in any particular spin location? Thanks.
I like the video my only question why would you make a video with someone running a chain saw in the back ground that was a poor Decision.
Because they had all their new tools set up in stations in the parking lot, and groups of people at each station all the time. So there was always people trying out the chain saws. So the question is not why would I do a video but why would echo fly everyone out to the event to create content then have everyone in close proximity with each other running noisy machines. Thanks for watching.
Very very bad. Cant start all zones at once :(
When would you need to? The average home would not have enough water pressure to be able to run every sprinkler in every zone all at once.
Ben paramla bulamıyorum Türkiye de 9010 T yok ne bok tan şirket is acho yazıklar olsun
A bit of feedback on the green ones….. Yes outside noise is dampened you can still hear ambient noise. This feature is not able to be turned on or off. It’s just a feature of the headphones if that makes sense. They don’t need to be turned on you can just hear a little of outside noise. Enough to hear but certainly does what it’s supposed to and block loud dangerous noise. So basically you don’t need to turn them on to use them just as a set of normal headphones. Yes there is a mic built in. The calls are able to continue when working on machinery BUT when the noise is too loud this does make the call difficult overall does a good job with dampening noise so calls can be facilitated. So according to the vid they seem to be the entry level but they do an awesome job as I use them outdoors when using a ride on mower and they are brilliant 😁
About how thick of soil does it put with one pass? Approximately 1/4”, or less?
The 2024 model has some nice little upgrades, nicer plastic handles to adjust the front wheels, and the cage around the engine is more like the toro turfmaster, also a bent sheet covering that front axle.
I replaced the crappy ryobi head on my 40v trimmer. It works way better and is well made.
Nice and Yes I agree. The Speed Feed 400 is probably the most popular trimmer head amongst professional lawn guys for those reasons. Thanks for watching.
You only sharpen one side of those blades sir, they're gonna get awful dull awfully quick when you make that blade cutting surface that thin, this looks very dangerous, safety is important, don't skip through safety to make it quicker, it only takes one time to catch a hot piece of metal in your eye, or cut your own fingers off, it happens more than it should
Looks way better than changing string all the time.
Walker still wins in my book but wright beats both
It's a carburetor engine. Totally normal to not ramp up speed instantly when not yet warmed up.
I picked up one of these 30 year old Japanese Hondas for $10 at a yard sale still fires right up and runs like a top
Thank you so much for teaching us how to do it the right way, my local dealer has these in stock. I’m very interested in purchasing these equipment. What is your opinion? Thanks again. Have a blessed day.!
Best video I have seen so far regarding how to use this product.
I’m looking on Home Depot and they have the dlm-2100cs, what does cs stand for?
I think it stands for crappy system! 😂 Honestly I don’t know but that’s what I would call it. Watch my honest review of this mower.
@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess I had to look it up on echo’s website. It comes in three styles dlm-2100bt (mower only), dlm 2100cs (comes with standard charger & a battery) and dlm 2100r2-2 (2 batteries and rapid charger)
@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess I was able to find it on their website. It comes in three versions….mower only, mower with battery & charger and I believe it said 2 batteries, mower and charger. The cs was the middle one
@@rickyhawley3482oh ok. If byou still like this mower I would still suggest looking at the greenworks version model LMB454. It’s essentially the exact same mower except it’s the 80V version. Greenworks makes the 56v ECHO version for ECHO. Its Can be bought with one or two batteries and can be found frequently on sale at places like Costco for a much better deal.
I’m thinking about doing a lawn care business at 16. Years old to make some good money.
Sorry, that looks totally miserable.
I am about to buy this trimmer and am torn between these two models.... Great video! This has helped with my decision!
People and their this is better, that is better. The FACT is that a grinding stone is better because is faster and far cheaper leaving an edge that is as sharp as you need it. It is pointless to have, what some people think is a razor edge, in the environment that a lawnmower blade spins in. Fussiness will get you nothing but less money in your wallet with the five times as much you will pay for flap discs. Go ahead and pay extra for an imaginary benefit if you hate your money so bad.
Let me know in the comments below what you think of the Milwaukee M18 Hatchet pruning saw.
I'd love to buy one of these, but I've got nowhere to store it. It makes more sense to rent one from Home Depot when I do my annual top dressing.
How made this cool shirts made and who did it and how can I get it made
only need to go across it once or twice not 500
While I find these "reciprocators" interesting, the price is just atrocious! The attachment in this video is 399USD at Home Depot. For Canadians, if/when it becomes available, better be thinking about 600CDN after taxes! Just for the attachment alone! In Atlantic Canada, where I am, more like $650 after HST. I also wonder about how these things can be sharpened?
Should be able to sharpen it, I had my m12 hedger sharpened.
@@danlux4954 Good to know that, Dan. Not sure if I could find a sharpening service in Nova Scotia? Maybe.
@@terrydanks I found a part number to replace the blades on this. Haven’t found a replacement blade for my m12 hedge trimmer though.
This looks like a toro time master in some ways
Very helpful! Thank you
That's not exponetial. It's highly linear.
I just finished edging my yard. Pretty sure its the first time this yard has ever been done. What a mess but this thing works awesome. My sidewalks gained 4-5 inches per side!😂
That’s awesome. Thanks for watching.
Any idea on runtime with that battery? I jave the m12 grease gun and pruners and love them both.
No unfortunately I have not been able to find any official info on battery run time and this video was the first time I used it. When searching out reviews on the Milwaukee website all I could see is many mentioned that the battery lasts a long time. Not surprising. Hedge trimmers are by far the most battery efficient when it comes to OPE tools and leaf blowers are the worst. Everything else sits in the middle somewhere. Thanks for watching.
I agree, our greenworks 82v hedge trimmers run forever on a charge!
Let me know in the comments below what you think of the Milwaukee M12 hedge trimmer kit.
Can the hedge trimmer be used in the rain because I know the mower can't.
I don’t know for sure. I know some of my Milwaukee outdoor tools like the string trimmer have a sticker with a picture of a rain cloud 🌧️ and an X through it. I’ve never seen any official water resistant designation on anything or the website. So I’d assume it’s all not waterproof. With that said many people have told me they have used Milwaukee tools in the rain with no issues. I filmed this video because it was not raining at the time. I be honest, I immediately started wondering when the tool and battery got wet from the first bush I tried trimming. 😂 Thanks for watching.
Seems pointless unless using at a 45 on a thin space like a sidewalk
Tell me the best place to buy this stuff.
how is the noise generated by the 770t compared with the 9010t? I'm worried if i buy the 9010t my neighbors will complain.
The 9010T is extremely loud. It’s a higher pitched tone. The 770 while still loud is not near as loud and the tone is a bit lower and makes it a bit more tolerable and still packs plenty of power. I prefer the 770 for the weight and sound. Thanks for watching.
@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess many thanks for the reply, it cemented my decision in buying one. 👍
why don't you use rotary tool to fit Milwaukee string trimmer attachment onto RYOBI expand it 40v. to make a square drive onto Ryobi expand it, Use a Rotary tool to make a square onto Milwaukee attachment for Ryobi Expand it.
So I just bought one on Saturday fully charged battery and was able to cut a front and backyard both sides of the house and of course we had rain for three days was able to cut the backyard and one side of the house before the battery went down. How did hell in Texas and had no problem starting up multiple times and really clipping the grass at a nice level and into a much smaller mulch than my Honda. The 60 W battery charges up extremely fast.
I’m sorry my friend, if you call that dirty you ain’t workin’ hard enough.😉😆
Hope the blade quality is better than the Husqvarna version, which I bought for my 535LK! The power unit itself is fantastic, but the attachment is poor! Also, in this years catalogue, it's priced at £479! 😮
How does it handle hitting rocks?
Alright. Just bounces of them the same as other cultivators I’ve used. Thanks for watching.
