ECHO99944200907b New Genuine Speed Feed 400 Head fits All SRM Trimmers!!

better weed eater head than the dewalt. installed very easily and restringing is simple

Great product, I bought one a cheep one last year and it caused the cord to melt and bind in the head. No problem with this one. Fits my Milwaukee m18 string trimmer.

Can’t believe I’ve been putting up with an 8-yr old head that stopped bumping years ago. I ordered this OEM part (Echo Speed Feed 400 replacement head) for my Echo SRM 225 string trimmer and it screwed in and I was trimming in under 5 minutes. And I’m not mechanically handy at allThere are no instructions or adapters in this kit so when I opened the package—WHICH WAS DELIVERED THE SAME DAY I ORDERED IT— I had a twinge of regret for ordering it around midnight and being too lazy to go out to the garage to double check what specific Echo model I have. This is not one of the universal heads with a variety of adapters, this one is made by echo to fit echo trimmers. I got a little anxiety realizing that my trimmer needed to be one of the models this head fit, and there wouldn’t be any adjusting with adaptersSo I grabbed the replacement head and took it to the garage and immediately saw that I was in luck as the trimmer hanging vertically displayed the model # prominently: SRM 225I watched 5 seconds of a YouTube video and saw that the original head should screw off. Probably should have watched 3 sec more because 1. First u need to insert a small screwdriver into a slot which rotates around the housing and then spin it until it catches…2. NOW the shaft is held still and the head can be screwed off in *counterclockwise fashionThis took me about 3 min to figure out on my own and was the most difficult step. Of course the video went over this if I had just hung in there for a bit longerOnce the old head was off I realized that the shaft and drive gear thingy and all parts of the housing had hundreds of threads of the black plastic landscaping fabric that I put under my mulch to keep weeds from growing root networksI knew those strings of plastic often wrapped around the head while trimming but I thought I was stripping them off each time.Nope, I was just removing only the most obvious threads that hung outside the head. The inside was packed tightly with chaotic spools of them. Those threads undoubtedly contributedt to the breakdown and warping of the original head and probably were causing the string windings to get crammed and stick together preventing the ends from being lengthened unless i took the head cap all the way off and unwound themPulling them out took a minute or two, and I cursed my laziness again and then screwed on the new head, depressed the bumper and released some string and fired that hot beyatch up and it was really just that easy!Echo made a great trimmer in the SRM 225 and I’m quite used to the length, balance, and head angle on the shaft so hopefully the motor will last another few years. With trimmers like these selling for well over $200 the authentic Echo Speed Feed 400 is a tremendous value proposition. It’s $10 more expensive than the universal replacements made by other brands but the shipping time was crazy fast and it was a breeze to install. I would recommend it unreservedly

Works better than I expected, we'll worth the price.

Very fast and easy to load and use,

It did not fit my trimmer but I kept it anyway its probably a good trimmer head but didn't come with the bushings to fit smaller shafts it didn't claim to come with them and I will probably be able to use it on down the road

Echo quality part- no issues

My husband struggles with our new weed eater all last summer. This head has made his 3 hour job much easier he says. Very user friendly.
