I was just looking for some feedback from any users of the Echo rotary blade head.

It looks like a really good bit of kit although it is going to cost around £250 so I was just wondering if there is a market to start stocking them. Looks fairly unique to me.

 

Any feedback will be much appreciated.

Been told they were designed for working around greenhouses, would imaging if you hit a stone that would be £250 down the drain:001_tt2:

Luckily they are a bit tougher than that. plus you can replace the blades although I'm not sure on the price.

Take it you have never hit anything hard with a hedge cutter?

Not unique. This Maruyama landscape blade has been around for a while. Not got one yet. But have tried one and they work well.

Dont worry, after twenty years of doing tree work, mainly domestic I have done my fair share of hedge cutting. Hit plenty of barb wire, metal fences and supports over the years. From the videos though it looks as though stones and concrete walls dont seem to be a problem, although it sounds like you had a few issues using them. Did you find they just blunted or was it mainly damage to the rotary scissor blades?

Looks good, cheers for the link and information. Was it on a Maruyama machine or did you have the head fitted to another brand of machine?

 

Hoping they will fit Stihl or Husky brushcutters too as that would open the market quite a lot.
