Echo TC-210

Advantages: 1. Weight, weight and weight again! Really tolerated with one hand!
2. The handle is folding, therefore it is easier to transport.
3. Fuel consumption pleased.
4. The engine is pretty quiet for a 2-tactic.
5. Maneuverable.

Disadvantages: 1. The price tag on it is heavily bullied, in October 2015 - at least 24,500r - it does not climb at any gate. I managed to take 19136r per share, it is still tolerable. As an option, there is still Huter gmc 1.8 it is from 12000r, the same variation on the theme of mantis only from the Chinese.
2. Setting the carburetor from the factory is no different. Screw idle does not affect idle at all.
3. The leg is poorly fixed in the folded down position, sometimes spontaneously folds and the cultivator falls. Not critical, but nevertheless they could have used a stronger spring or a stopper.
4. There is no backing, it is certainly easy and transfer it is not a problem, but nonetheless.

Comment: For those who have a bad start: Adjust the idle and you will be happy. Adjustable screw "L", spring-loaded screw idling does not affect the idling, although the instruction says the opposite. In short, the screw "L" clockwise - to reduce the speed, counterclockwise - to increase, we achieve even work at idle and so as not to stumble when you press the gas. Twist must be very cautious on a little bit.

Starting with a cold one like this: Damper lever up - we pull the starter until the engine grabs and immediately stall (usually with 2-3 jerks) - the damper lever down - we pull the starter and the engine starts.

Plowing is excellent, the ground is down, the weeds are cut and on the surface - heavy cultivators cannot do that. Compared to a heavy cultivator, it’s just super, you’re not tired at all. On rocks and in places where virgin lands sometimes jumps, but this is a consequence of light weight and in general is not very annoying, because it is easy to keep it in place.

ZY Naturally, it is not for plowing weeds on virgin soil in large volumes. But you lift the virgin soil once, and it is necessary to loosen and plow the processed one constantly, with the last echo it copes perfectly, however, you can also raise the virgin soil and it is an order of magnitude easier than with a shovel.

Advantages: At the depth of the spade bayonet ground grinds to fluff. Light. Carried with one hand and transported in the folded state in the trunk easily. Compared to most tillers and cultivators (which rarely weigh less than 50 kg), it seems like a toy. Swift. It is convenient to harrow in hard to reach places. Gathered out of the box is easy. In the design there are inch (rather than the usual metric) nuts and bolts that can indicate shtatomovskoe origin. You can, they say, buy hiller to him.

Disadvantages: These are not flaws, but still: sometimes it is wedged from stones caught in harrows (about 5–8 cm). Put a large screwdriver in the pocket to pick them out. large roots can also cause a halt. If the earth without stones, respectively, this is not a problem. For the cultivation of virgin soil and untreated soil will fit a little, not his element to grind turf. Although you can adapt yourself. But sorry for the engine. Start the cold engine will describe below. After an hour of work with the habit, there are signs of vibration disease in the fingertips.The high-speed noise of a two-tactic presses over the ears — we use hearing protection (this is what the instructions call for to do the same).

Comment: Starting a cold engine: you have to adapt yourself. Not all and not immediately obtained. We pump up gasoline. Throttle valve in open position. Push the gas knob to half and without releasing we pull the starter. Do not forget that gasoline tools do not like any running-in and warming up at idle. Run in for two tanks of gasoline. The difference in the running mode in operation is the smooth change in revolutions and the gasoline-oil mixture is not 50 to 1, but 40 to 1. We also allow the gearbox and engine to cool periodically. Well, probably run in not on virgin soil. We worked out a half-tank-15 minutes break. Well, the service under the rules of course. It is described in the instructions. By the way, the ECHO warranty for 5 years is generally a separate number! Read on the site, you will understand. And so the impressions are very positive ...
