So I've got a question.
Have you ever forgotten how to use a piece of equipment? Let me kind of tell you what my scenario is here.
I've been running that Husqvarna 525 ILST, which is the battery-powered commercial string trimmer.
And you all know how much I love that thing.
It is by far my favorite piece of equipment that I own.
Well, I've had, in the past, I've had issues with the battery chargers.
And...
I got another one and it has finally bit the dust just like the other ones did.
And I know it's not under warranty so I'm kind of biding my time until equip.
I'm going to see if they've got anything new out.
I know last year they had several new chargers out and I want to take a look at those again.
So I don't want to buy another one until I put my hands on those.
So I thought, well, I've got plenty of string trimmers.
The problem is that they've all been sitting for, what, I guess two and a half years at this point.
And I couldn't get any of them started.
I've got to go in and replace some...
some seals, I got a clean carburetors.
It's stuff that I can fix, but I just don't have time to do it right now.
And I bet I've got, I bet I have eight or 10 of them, which is pretty sad, just sitting there.
So I was talking about it the other day and my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law said, I've got a trimmer you can borrow.
I was like, sweet.
That way I don't have to spend half my day and get behind trying to fix one of these.
He's got a FS-131, which is the big boy unit.
So I said, great, that'll take care of all of it, even if it's definitely heavier than what I'm used to now.
