    Default How about these for some freebies :cool:

    Was round my partners parents house this arvo and got given these, good help when just starting out.

    Let me know your thoughts on the machines and if you think its a great score or not

    Atom Edger commercial Model 501, bit of surface rust mainly on the blades as they are brand new and look like they where never used till i gave em quick go this afternoon.

    after i killed all te redbacks on the thing, i seriously dont even think this thing has seen a full tank of fuel

    Not much use because it developed a leak inside the casing that was never fixed, comes with multiple diff head.

    Just need to fix the leak and get a sling and it will be the goods for a back up for heavy thick stuff

    A pretty good score for someone starting out. Atom once the Honda has carked it put a 2 stroke on it, better motor all round. Echo where and still are a good brand.

    So guys why do you say swap to a 2 stroke for the atom once the motors buggered? It seemed to run fine on the quick demo run i did.

    Is the higher rpm better for edging you recon? I did think the honda's four stroke slow but torquey motor did alright

    Hi Oli
    Good score.
    With the Echo brushcutter SRM 2000 do yourself a favor and buy a speed feed head for it. I had a Echo SRM 2450 and it had the same yellow head on it. That head will drive you mad.
    Cheers
