I put one on my Echo.

What model Echo and how does it do?

 

[Killbuzz]

I have their 58v cordless trimmer which uses the same PAS system found on their commercial trimmers. It works great on battery power so I would assume it works well with their gas engines too.

Sooo if i was looking for a power head to dedicate to one these landscape blades which would be best? Was looking at kombi cause local dealers but curious if anyone would choose differently second time around. How long does the echo 58v hold charge with the lb?

I would go Stihl for the same reason - great local dealer. I migrated to Maruyama to get a LB before this head was an option, but if I was doing it again today I would just put this head on a Stihl.

...How long does the echo 58v hold charge with the lb?

Hard to say, but that would be an interesting combo. You would be the first.

Need some clarification, my Echo SRM 210 has 21.2CC of displacement. Would this work, or should I be looking for a higher bhp engine? I have had my Echo for well over 15 years, and it starts on the first pull, every time. Not as cantankerous as some of my newer Stihl products. It takes my blower that I bought last year forever to warm up to full force blowing speed.

@Colonel K0rn the good thing about the head from R&R is it will fit on most brands. So if you buy it and your Echo isn't powerful enough then it should fit on anything you replace it with.

Do the LB blades counter rotate or oscillate?

I just ordered one of these heads. Pretty excited to get the season started. I am going to pull the trigger on one of the Swardman 2.0 reel mowers next week.

TruCut going on craigslist soon afterwards.

I ordered one from Seago International a couple weeks ago. It was the same price but free shipping. I also picked up a Kombi shaft from my local Stihl dealer for $20. Can't wait to try it out.

How did you order from them? Did you call them and ask about it? They are right here in NC too!

I contacted IDECH back in October because I was interested in learning more about the Power Rotary Scissors as well as their Weed Shaver and Weed Hammer Blade. They suggested I contact Maruyama or Seago and gave me their respective emails. I exchanged some emails with Seago then called them once I was ready to buy.

How did you contact IDECH?(email or call) Do you know if they just sell the adapter kit? Thanks

I emailed IDECH (info@idech.co.jp). Not sure on the kit availability. Which adapter do you need? I kept the ones I didn't use. I'd be happy to mail them if you need any of them I still have. For the Stihl Kombi shaft I needed the square adapter and the 24.5mm sleeve.

Thanks for the update and the offer but the one you used is the one I need

I saw Echo makes one too - ASK-RW23D - but it seems to only be available in the UK? I have an Echo string trimmer I'm thinking of converting to this... has anybody who bought one of these questioned whether its really worth $300? Seems a bit steep to be honest.

I have the Maruyama version (same price), and I think it is worth every penny if you are maintaining a low (say <1") HOC.

So I'm thinking of putting in an order for one. Looking at the images it shows them using it vertically for edging. Has anyone actually used it like that? If so, how did it do? Figure that will save me some money not having to get a dedicated blade edger.

I'll just leave this here... :mrgreen:

I'm telling you, please listen to me, please!
Sell you dog if you have to, but get a Maruyama landscape blade. It has improved my entire life. Food tastes better, my pillow is softer, my kids are more respectful, I think I'm taller and my hair is thicker.
I'm considering starting a fund for turf enthusiasts to supply landscape blades. I've been searching for a way to help mankind, and this is the best idea I can think of.
Over-the-top, but true!

...I do all my trimming and edging with it. It will take anything I give it. Being able to edge, trim, and touch-up the lawn (as low as you want without scalping) is a huge time saver. One of my buddies is a professional landscaper, and he can't believe that everyone doesn't use it.
In my opinion it makes all string trimmers obsolete. I have 3 echo trimmers that haven't been started in a month.
