Description of Troy-Bilt TB525 EC 17-Inch 29cc 4-Stroke Gas Powered Curve Shaft String Trimmer With Detachable Shaft

Features 29 cc, 4-cycle engine and spring-assist starting system, and 17" cutting swath. Accepts optional attachments. Dual-line bump head with speed spool. .095" diameter line, deluxe D-handle. Fifty state/EPA compliant. Electric start capable. 2-year limited warranty. For speedspool replacement cartridge, use True Value #560-316.
REVIEW:The joys of the four-cycle engine are many. First, they run on straight gas, so there's no need to prepare an oil-gas mixture. Second, they give you more torque at a greater range of speeds. Third, they run quieter than two-cycle engines and produce fewer emissions. As with most good things, however, there is also a downside: Two-cycle engines will give you more horsepower, pound for pound, than four-cycle engines (in other words, they're lighter per HP).

The question, then, is whether you're willing to put up with a little more weight or sacrifice some HP in order to have a clean, quiet cut. (In some states, this decision may already have been made for you-there seems to be a trend toward mandating that two-cycle engines be retrofitted with catalytic converters.)

If the answer is yes, then Troy-Bilt's 29 cc curve-shaft trimmer is a great option. At 13 pounds it's lighter than older four-cycle models, and it has a wide 17-inch cutting swath. It features "SpringAssist" starting, which means you don't have to yank on the pull-cord-a slow and steady pull will get the thing started. This trimmer is well-balanced, and the curved shaft and adjustable D-handle make for comfortable use. Like most trimmers, this one includes a bump-head line release; Troy-Bilt's "SpeedSpool" system means quick, easy line replacement. As an added bonus, it's compatible with interchangeable Troy-Bilt attachments, too.

Overall, a powerful trimmer that's comfortable to use, clean, and quiet. Two-year limited warranty. For a comparable trimmer with a straight shaft, see Troy-Bilt's model #TB575SS.--Josh Dettweiler

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt TB525 EC 17-Inch 29cc 4-Stroke Gas Powered Curve Shaft String Trimmer With Detachable Shaft

Customer Review: I love this item
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this and brush cutter attachment the from Lowe's and love it. We have 11 acres of land and can't afford a riding lawnmower. So we got this and it has done a great job. I've use the brush cutter and in one day, cut over 400 ft long by 6 ft wide tall grass (grass is 3-4ft tall) and briars. It cuts small saplings (1/2 inch) with ease. The grass trimmer is great too. I must be doing something wrong because I can't seem to get the line feed to work properly. I bought a quick line change adapter it it's great. I can buy large spools of cutting line and cut pieces to replace the line as needed and it's a heck of a lot faster than messing with the spool. Again, it's operator error because I have an electric weed wacker and I have the same problems. I've had the Troy Built gas trimmer for about 3 months now and it hasn't failed me yet. I also love the fact that I can use straight gas and not have to deal with mixing the fuel. One gas can and that's all I need.
