Troy-Bilt TB575 EC 17-Inch 29cc 4-Cycle Gas-Powered Straight-Shaft String Trimmer with Detachable Shaft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Save your money!!!!! After going thru cheap gas trimmers like disposable lighters, I thought I'd bite the bullet and buy a good one. Well, after spending $199.00 for this troy built, I thought this would last me a while. WRONG!!! I pruchased it from Fleet Farm in Chippewa Falls WI. While using it my third time, I heard a terrible noise, and it suddenly quit. Returning to the store with it, they told me I abused it, and there was nothing they could do (trimming weeds is abuse?! - isnt that what this is supposed to do?) So another $109.00 later, it now had a new flywheel. Tried it again - after about 15 minutes use, there was that horrible noise again, and another sudden stop. I called Troy Built, and was told to take a hike, it was my problem, and they would do nothing for me, but I could send it in and they would install another flywheel for me - Another $109.00 + shipping. My nice new Troy built trimmer now occupies its rightful spot at the local landfill, along with the $308.00 it cost me for about 1-1/2 hours use. Along with the putrid performance of this piece of garbage goes the total lack of service by the selling dealer, FARM AND FLEET in chippewa falls.
If youre thinking of buying one of these trimmers - DONT DO IT - it is an expensive paperweight, with absolutely no customer service.

Troy-Bilt TB70SS 17-Inch 31cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Straight-Shaft String Trimmer with Detachable Shaft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I started with the straight-shaft trimmer and soon added the pole saw for lopping off those low hanging limbs. Some pole saws have the motor in the saw and are practically impossible to use because they are so top heavy. The Troy-Bilt motor acts like a counter-balance to lighten the weight of the saw. Now, I've added the brush cutter which cuts tough weeds and grass, but doesn't do much for small tree seedlings more than a half inch in diameter. I've used it two full years for trimming grass, limbs, and weeds (sunflowers) and can usually depend on it starting with 1 or 2 easy pulls. I've had a couple of other string trimmers and hated them because they were hard to start, but the Troy-Bilt (MTD) is very satisfactory. I've recently switched to .105 line and it lasts a long time if you stay away from curbs and foundations.

The Troy-Bilt 2-cycle 31 cc clutch gas trimmer features convenient EZ-Start choke technology, which allows the user to simply flip the choke, prime the engine, and then give a slow, smooth, easy pull for a guaranteed start. The EZ-Start technology allows the trimmer's engine to engage with 55-percent less effort than most gas models. With its rugged 31 cc engine, the trimmer provides plenty of brawn to power through the most ragged, overgrown growth. The trimmer's professional-style straight-shaft, split-boom design gives easy access underneath low-growing shrubs. The trimmer cuts in a 17-inch radius and features heavy-duty, 0.095-inch dual lines with convenient bump-head line release. When it's time to replace the line, the featured SpeedSpool line replacement system is exceptionally easy to load and rewind, all without removing the spool or taking it apart. The entire trimmer feels exceptionally balanced and comfortable in the hand, and the ergonomic soft-grip D-shaped handle easily adjusts for both right and left-handed users. The trimmer's engine and upper handle is compatible with other Troy-Bilt EZ-Link attachments (sold separately), a feature that allows you to turn your trimmer into an edger, cultivator, hedge trimmer, blower, or pole saw. The trimmer comes with all the necessary oil for immediate operation, and is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.

Troy-Bilt AH720R Trimmer Plus 16-Inch Dual-Action Articulating Hedge Trimmer Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this trimmer after returning a Black and Decker that turned out to be defective. After being totally disgusted with the lack of quality in trimmers under $100, I started looking around to see what else was out there. I have a Ryobi click-link gas powered string trimmer and so this unit fits right on it. I decided to go for it. This unit is all metal (as in NO PLASTIC anywhere!) and has nice carbon steel blades. It easily cuts through 1/2 inch branches and will gnaw its way through 3/4 inch branches with minimum fuss. You can't stop it. I just trimmed 3 of my 12 foot tall Japanese maple trees and it never stalled once. I have it attached to a 31cc power head. The extra reach and swivel capability means I can easily reach the top of my trees from my ladder. The trimming job on those trees used to take hours with a long handled pruner. Now I can get it done in minutes. This tool is actually comparable to the Stihl hedge trimmer that sells for a lot more money. If you have a power head to put this tool to use, you can't go wrong. Other hedge trimmers in this price range aren't near the quality of this thing, and you don't need a cord to run it. If there is anything on the down side here, it would be the weight. It's a bit heavy to manuever for me so it would be very difficult for my wife to manage. This is no little ladies tool though so keep that in mind guys.
