I have the Echo gt225 with stock manual feed string. It was always a pain in the butt when I hit something that chewed the string. I'd have to stop, turn it on its side, manually insert the pieces of string. Then, the camber style lock teeth wouldn't hold the string. I'd wind up the throttle and zing, it would go flying. The new bump feed works great and load pretty easy. Just line the holes up, feed the string through both sides of head, twist, pesto. Literally takes about 30 seconds (half bring measuring and cutting length of string). Highly Recommended over manual stock OEM head.

The product itself is probably a good product for the right product. The description says that it fits a GT-225 model, however this is a right hand threaded product and the product I received is for a left hand thread. I cannot use this product that I ordered so I had to go to the local hardware store to get the correct one.

The speed-Feed spool was purchased to replace the head of an Echo trimmer that I was forever replacing the single two lines on. When purchased I was afraid it would not bolt on properly; however, it came with everything necessary to install it. I removed the old head and installed the new one in less than 5 minutes. It works great with the line provided; however, it is possible to install a larger diameter next re-wind which will be so easy with the spool winding system. The unit is well constructed and easy to operate.

Screwed right on my older Echo weed eater. Came with string right out of the package. I have not run out yet but in the Youtube video I watched it looked easy to load. Bump feed works good also.

Bought as an upgrade for an old Echo GT-200R trimmer. Direct fit, no adapters necessary. Best working bump feed trimmer head I have ever used and the pre installed cross-fire line seems really durable.
