Front wheel drive vs. rear wheel drive
Comments (34)I tried both and I find the rear-drive very awkward and very difficult while pivoting the mower to the other direction. With front-drive, all I do is raise the front and quickly turn the mower to the other direction. My target is to quickly and efficiently mow my lawn and not tinker with the clutch at all; who wants that? With rear-drive, I have to disengage every time when I need to turn directions ... making my expensive mower a push mower during the attempt and tremendously slowing my momentum ... and of course, I have to engage again to move forward. If you have the mower on fast while doing this, you will find yourself fighting the mower every time you want to start on the new direction. You are not controlling the mower, its controlling you. Think about it, being able to raise the front wheels will allow you to turn the mower on 2 wheels; that is turning on a dime. If you have 4 wheels, you are going to make several small movements to realign your mower to the new direction while stroking your clutch on every attempt. IÂm returning my rear-drive today for a front-wheel drive....See MoreCraftsman 20' Walk-Behind Won't Run
Comments (7)There should be a small bolt holding the fuel bowl onto the carburetor. Tilt mower onto the muffler side. Take out the brass bolt, inspect it VERY CAREFULLY! There are 2 holes in the shank of the bolt that get clogged with dirt. One will be readily seen, the other one is very small. Might look like a speck of dirt. Clean out with a very fine wire. The starter assembly will have to be removed. Usually held on by a few bolts. the starter assembly underneath will need a bit of WD-40 on the inside of it, then the starter housing put back on. I'm not sure what model you have. If the thing on top of the crankshaft has a square thing sticking up, there should be a small hole in it. Drip a bit of oil in there, spin the square thing, then reassemble all. If this has you all confused, better take it to a repair shop! RJ...See MoreEcho BRD-280 Bed Redifiner (and edger & trimmer)?
Comments (1)It would be great to try edging with one if you could. Maybe the dealer has a demo or a repair you could use if even just around the shop. Personally, I like stick edgers. For contoured or tight areas they do the job easier than a traditional 3/4 wheeled gas edger. I think the person w/ long straight areas is probably better served w/ a traditional edger from an ease of use standpoint. Echo builds nice units btw, so if you are in the market for a gas string trimmer also- you will do fine. In my experience, most people edge twice a year if at all. I get to work on edgers that get used, and forgotten for a few years. Then they get big bills to service them to reverse the damage of neglect. So using a powerhead for multiple purposes, it will get used more and one less thing to care for....See MoreWANTED: String Trimmer
Comments (0)Our community garden, the Rose Circle Community Garden in West End Atlanta, has just expanded into a vacant field behind our existing garden. We will need to maintain the entire field and part of it is too hilly for a lawn mower to cut. We are thus in need of a string trimmer. We have a fair assortment of plants that can be traded for a sring trimmer that is in good working condition. Such as a crabapple tree, perennial flowers including lilies, tiger lilies, hellebores, various mints, walking onions, leeks, etc. If there is something else you are looking for, just ask and we'll see if we might have it to trade....See Morebaymee
