Troy-Bilt TB590BC 18-Inch 29cc 4-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer/Brush Cutter With Detachable Shaft Review

I have one of these (or it's immediate predacessor model) for 5 years and it worked flawlessly. Then one day I was knee deep in the swamp cutting cattails just under the waterline and KABLOOEY! The cattails wrapped around the bush cutter head and the EZ Link drive cable twisted apart at the coupling. I thought it could do everything! I was disappointed. ;-))
Actually I give it 5 stars. It was saftey engineered well enough that I didn't have my arm cut off when the cutting head wrapped around the cattails and pulled me off my feet into the swamp and the cutter. The safety engine kill and brake worked like a charm.
I took the motor (which was still alright) and made a fence post auger out of it. That sucker has some torque!
Yes, I am a red-neck if you were wondering...

Husqvarna 128LD 28cc 2-Stroke Gas-Powered Straight-Shaft String Trimmer with Detachable Shaft Review

I only need to show you this part number. 545001001 . Google it like this {545001001 cylinder}. this comes up as a poulan pro trimmer cylinder. I got this part number off of husqvarna's parts break down list for husqvarna 128l/LDX trimmer. The 128l/LDX trimmer is a 100.00 poulan pro trimmer wrapped in orange plastic instead of yellow. I didnt know husqvarna stickers cost over 100.00. This trimmer has one piston ring not two like a real husqvarna. It does however have the chrome cylinder lining. this would be poulans {Durachrome} cylinder.
If you want a husqvarna thats a true husqvarna get the 223l. Thats really the lower end husqvarna {for now}.
the 128l/ldx trimmers do not have the black plate stating husqvarna made in sweden like true husqvarnas have. In fact I could not locate an origin sticker/plate anywhere on it? My search told me its built in U.S.A..
That tells me the poulan/weedeater plant here owned by husqvarna. If you want this trimmer buy it with the poulan name and save 100.00.
The poulan PP133 trimmer appears to look just like this model. {minor plastic changes}. the first several numbers on the cylinder match . the last few numbers are different. But the poulan pro model cylinder is sold as a kit form. Cylinder and ring set combined. Thus the number change. The pp133 is rated at 33cc not 28cc like this model. Any small engine mechanic will tell you not to look at cc ratings. look at hp. rating. Big box stores get too advertise high cc ratings on small engines for sales tactics.
I'm not saying this is a bad trimmer. I bet its a real good home owner trimmer like advertised. I just think Husqvarna should put the correct name were it belongs and not mislead people. If I wasnt one of those people that researched everthing to death I'd not discovered this. I recomend researching anything over 100.00. Today it saved me 100.00 dollars. Hope I saved you money too.

Husqvarna 323L 24.5cc E-Tech 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer With Smart Start Review

Husqvarna 323L 24.5cc E-Tech 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer With Smart Start

I have a small yard; probably only a quarter acre. The price on this trimmer seems high until you know the facts. It is actually quite reasonably priced. This trimmer will work as a trimmer, edger, and blower; all without attachments.
I've owned electric trimmers and cheap gas trimmers before. None of them even compare to this trimmer. This trimmer hits the grass and weeds and knocks it down first time! It is so powerful that you use the throttle as a throttle not an on-off switch like the electric and cheap gas trimmers. This trimmer is exceptionally quiet and smooth also. Additionally, even though it is only 9lbs (only 2 lbs heaver than the really cheap trimmers) it is one of the most powerful trimmers you can buy.
As far as edging goes, I have never used a trimmer to edge before because it has been such a waste of time. However, with this trimmer, you flip it over on its side (on the side you can see the head. If you flip it the wrong way you won't be able to see the cutting) grab on the handle which conveniently is in position and trim away. I trim two sidewalks and my driveway.
Today I discovered that I could blow off my sidewalk with the trimmer. Just make sure you have 18" of sting out, throttle her up and swing back and forth. The grass just blows off. Fantastic!
There is one other benefit from the high quality machine. Because it is so effective, I get finished really quickly. I can trim my house and fence; edge the driveway and sidewalk; and blow the sidewalk of in about 15 minutes. This means I don't use very much gas and one tank lasts for about 4 sessions.
I can't say enough good things about this trimmer. When you buy it, you will love it.

I just bought the 223L to replace a 5 year old, lightly used Echo SRM-210i which froze-up (piston is hung in the cylinder). Wished I had bought the Husqvarna when I bought the Echo.
Pros:
* Easy to start and stay running. (The Echo would start easy but it would tend to stall (and sometimes quit until it warmed up.)
* Very lightweight.
* Easy to maneuver - it just glides across the ground.
* Powerful - this machine cuts through 1/4" brush with no problems using stock string.
Cons: Only has a two year warranty compared to Echo's 5 years. However, the place I bought the Husq (Home Improvement store starting with L) had a 3 extended warranty for $39. The total price of the Husqvarna and the extended warranty was about in line with Echo's compatible model (which has a smaller engine).

Swisher Shindaiwa E4-S3000 E4 24-1/2cc 4-Stroke Engine Commercial Grade String Trimmer Review

Swisher Shindaiwa E4-S3000 E4 24-1/2cc 4-Stroke Engine Commercial Grade String Trimmer
Average Reviews:

I previously owned a professional-model Shindaiwa trimmer, which was great and nearly indestructible. This one by Swisher has an advanced type of Shindaiwa engine, is lighter weight, and due to its higher RPM cuts unbelievably well. Vines, twigs on tree branches, tall weeds, all are practically vaporized. The self-feeding spool works as advertised-- you can restring it in 30 seconds, without tools-- once you know how it works and what to expect. The manual does a very poor job of explaining how the spool works. It only provides an illustration with arrows and symbols, and no text explaining how you're supposed to thread the replacement line. I did it wrong the first time, then had to use up the line by trimming, with only one feed instead of two, because I couldn't figure out how to remove the line once installed. Now I know what to expect and can load new line in no time.
