Just curious how much that cost you.
I have two 563s that were pretty much identical but the next series.
They've been good tractors.
What did you buy this week?

Echo DCS-2300 hedge trimmer, a couple weeks ago.
Previous (corded) trimmer I bought in ... 1989? It survived the kids leaving it outside by the hedge-thing we mostly used it on, over the winter; luckily I found it by kicking it in the leaves in the spring before running my mower over that area to shred the leaves & twigs. It was a mess but I was able to get the blades freed and cleaned up the motor and used it for another twelve years.
Wife was trying to cut the hedge thing three weekends ago and the trimmer got stuck "on". Turns out the on/off switch was cracked; I looked for a replacement and possibly would find one to work eventually but considering how cheap a corded trimmer is I figured just replace it.
Well, she wanted a battery one so she didn't have to mess with the 100' extension cord.
I really like the Echo line in general, and the battery saw I recently got is amazing, so went for their trimmer.
It's super sharp and cuts great. The "blade" is much longer than our corded trimmer was.
Overall the unit is definitely a bit heavier than the corded one (between a better blade, longer blade, and battery, not a surprise) but my wife has used it now and says she likes it.
Cuts so fast that she can do some cutting, put it down, do some cleanup, then repeat, so the extra weight won't be a bother.

Yep. Only about 20 minute wait. They have about 10 people working the counter and another 10 in the cutting room, plus a couple kids running product, 3 checkouts.... it's kind of a crazy place.You waited for 27 people to buy something?

Wire prices went to the moon, due to tariffs and just look at scrap metal prices.
