Husqvarna 525LST

Superb – Previously had the 525 RJD , but sold and went with the 525 LST. The dedicated model is better than the break in half feature for whipper snipping. If you mostly do whippersniping get this model the 525 LST. The vibrations through the handle are one of it's best features. I have had many different machines over the years, shindaiwa , echo, stihl, honda. But this beats them all hands down for vibrations and handle use and comfort.

The torque head is great most of he other machines don't use them except echo but their machine feels heavy, quite durable, which initially concerned me about the husqvarna, but after 2 years nothing wrong at all .

It cuts much thicker grass than any of the non torque head models. I used to have a 335 loop handle but it cuts just as good as it and it is lighter and uses thinner cord. it does not bog down and feel short on power, but feels at home in tall and short grass combined.

Starts easily even after 2 years, been running stihl HP ultra with 95 octane and even runs better now noticeably.

The machine revs quick and hard, runs at all throttle points, no lag or vibrations.

Great job Husqvarna the old 326 was good it was very light and nimble, great for contractors on regular cut lawns, but now 525 LST with the torque head and extra power and low vibration handle, it is slightly heavier but a overall

much better machine. Very reliable day in and out.
