Echo GT-22GES Questions & Answers

Mike I found that Bunnings were the cheapest place to buy the 22GES.

Thanks Dave

No idea but Bunnings should know

Hi Lorraine,

You can buy it from Bunnings. The best one is the model GT222-ES which has the bent shaft. They are easier to use than the straight shaft models. They have increased in price to $339 probably due to COVID.

Go on Google and see if Bunnings got in in your area if you set your store location

Yes, I have checked with several Bunnings near me, but none of them have this model

Buy a 5 litre jerry can at any petrol station and then buy the 250ml bottle of oil. Put the entire oil contents into the jerry can then fill up with petrol.

See answer above.

I wouldn’t recommend doing this.

Thanks Paul.
Yes I noticed that Bunnings sells a model ref. GT 222 ES
I was wondering if it is the same as the model GT 22 GES reviewed here.
It might be a newer version, hence the similarity between the product names and their look but I would like to be sure. Anyone?
Thanks

You.ll need to buy in your local mower shop to suit the primer bulb on the carburator where the fuel pump is located and there will be a prime plate on top and it's a walbro type there 4x screws and if it's a Zama type you're only going going to unscrew 2x on it and a flat head phillips and a flat head will work just make sure it's a good size of screwdriver

Sorry I am not sure. I have never tried it.

I paid $199.- for this unit. It was on special at the time. I think normal price was about $240.-

300-$500 bent shaft is $100 cheaper but straight shaft is better for fence lines and getting under strubs, hedges

I don't know as I haven't needed to ask but as I have a blade cutter attachment for hardy/woody weeds etc I don't see why you would not be able to.

Hello Kevin, I would assume any mower spares business should be able to help you with a replacement part. If you live in Adelaide, Salisbury Mowers are extremely helpful with regards to parts and spares.
