Shindaiwa T25 trimmer

[alderman]

Pulled one of the T 25 trimmers off the shelf this afternoon. After getting the stop/start switch figured out it started up fine. Cut the orchard and an overgrown bank and it didn't miss a beat. This thing has got to be 30+ years old and still runs like new. Great trimmer for light work.

it blows my mind how some of the older stuff just keeps running, and running.

The T25 was in production for a long time, we bought them new when I worked at a golf course 1993-1995. I remember it being surprisingly light and starting easily. My Echo SRM-225 has alot in common with the T25, maybe more so than current Shindaiwa offerings. My favorite weedeater of all time!

I have an old t20 I got at a yardsale for $1! My dealer told me it's 35 years old, after a couple fuel lines I got it to run but the diaphrams are worn out need to find a rebuild kit

I love my T-20!

Neighbor ran a lawn care service and had some stuff he was going to set out for junk pick-up and asked if there was anything I was interested in.

OH-yah!

I remember that the exhaust and gas tank were off the trimmer as well as most plastic shrouds. I know that the fuel pick-up and filter needed replacement and I think the Capacitor(CDI) what-cha-ma-dinger as well.

It's been a great trimmer over the past +15yrs that I've had it especially considering that I got it in "kit form". Its one of the lightest and well balanced trimmers that I've ever used.

She's getting a slight bit temperamental to start now days and I suspect that I need either a carb rebuild or new fuel pick-up.

I have a Shindaiwa T-270. Best trimmer ever made.

I have a B45 bought new in 1986. Runs like a champ. Never needed anything but filters on occasion. I use it for the thick and heavy duties. Oh the glory of non-ethanol fuel!
