Echo Grass Trimmer/brushcutter 30.5Cc 17In Speed Feed 400

Got it to replace a Stihl F131 that i am extremely disappointed with. The Echo out preforms the Stihl in all aspects including comfort. The only dislike is the strap. I bought the good harness snd all is good.

I bought it a few weeks ago and I'm very happy. But I do have a few small design suggestions. The gearcase/trimmer head, there are some cases I found where grass got wedged in the top section of the head and inside. For weedeating I find if the head is like a Stihl FS110 where you can take it off from the top with the head tool that's easier if Tangled with weeds and the stock location is burried in grass.. The throttle/ignition switch handle U Model, if that could be made out of rubber along with or a slightly thicker trigger so your finger doesn't cramp up that would be more comfortable for using long hours without gloves, the left grip is why not the right one lol. The wire harness/throttle cable clips on the main pipe assembly. If those can be designed somehow so that they stay during thick brush cutting that'd be nice so they don't pop off and you never find them. Already lost both of mine. I'm not sure why this happened a few hours after I got it but the starter pawls are slipping randomly, not blaming anyone I don't understand what would make that happen on a brand new machine 4 hours after left the dealer.. After warmed up or running a half hour or so it grips fine. 50/50 when the first start. Overall I'm very happy easy starting runs like a race horse, easy simple maintenance, and legendary Echo quality. The Speed Feed head is a plus to no issues or taking the head apart to restring. Your Red Armor oil is the best choice for oil I love it burns clean and a very good odor.
