CAVEAT EMPTOR
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.

Terrible Trimmer
I recently purchased and quickly took this trimmer back. I first thought that having a 4 cyle engine was a good thing. Not. First it is very unbalanced and heavy. Second, it is very difficult to start. Third, you are told in the manual to disassemble the engine every 10 hours and adjust the valves. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, they suggest paying money to have it done. What?!!! Oh, they also tell you to make sure you replace the valve cover gasket everytime you do this. The engine was anything but smooth running and replacing the line is a real pain. This product just isn't well engineered. Buyer beware as this is an MTD product which does not have a good reputation for quality products or service.

Horrible Product! Save your money and run the other way!
If I could give this product zero stars I would. I did some research last summer and bought this trimmer at Lowes. It has not worked right since I took it out of the box. This being our first house, I thought maybe it was operator error. Think again. This trimmer is poorly designed all around. It is heavy and not balanced well at all. The bump feed head does not work and has to be cleaned every time I use it. The lines frequently get welded together in side of the spool necessitating that you take the whole thing apart, pull out the old line and replace it. It if doesn't get welded, it still won't feed the line through. Now, it won't idle. I have tried cleaning the air filter, checking the oil and adjusting the idle screw, but it still won't idle. This trimmer increases the time it takes to just edge your lawn because you have to stop so often and fix the line. We have only had this trimmer for two summers and I HATE it!! Save your money and run away from this poor product.
