Tools and Hardware Reviews of Troy-Bilt TB20CS 17-Inch 31cc 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Curved Shaft String Trimmer with Detachable Shaft
Customer Review: This is the one for you !!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are in the market for an entry level ( $120 or less ) gas powered string trimmer, the Troy Bilt TB20CS has to be at the top of your list.
After much research, I chose this item over all the rest. My reasoning was as follows :
1). The TB20CS receives the most 4 and 5 star ratings of any entry level trimmer, both here as well as other review web sites.
2). It has a 31 CC engine, as opposed to 25 CC engines found on many of the competitive trimmers. That's 22% more power capacity.
3). It uses .095 trimmer cord, which takes a heavier beating than the thinner cord in some of the competition.
4). This baby has a clutch. Some of the competition does not bother with this, I prefer that my cutting line comes to a stop when I feather the throttle back to idle.
5). I like the split shaft that allows me the option to use other tools.
6). Standard dual line bump head spool provides twice the cutting action as some of the single line competitors.
7). It includes the Speedlock fixed line spool for no added charge.
8). Cost : $99.96 at Lowes. Also $99 at Troy.com, but be careful of shipping charges.
A special note to anyone using 2 cycle engine driven tools :
You will note a lot of folk downgrade these items due to either poor starting or poor running characteristics at speed. I suspect these folks have failed to follow one or more guidelines for use of 2 cycle equipment :
A). Follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure for starting. They are the ones most familiar with their product. ALWAYS hold the throttle open 1/4 of the way when using full and half choke.
B). Never use old gas. That stuff you mixed up last year will cause you big trouble this year. My rule of thumb is to replace gas once it gets to be 3 months old ( with or without a gas stabilizer ).
C). Always mix oil and gas to the manufacturers specification. If it calls for 40:1, do not mix 30:1. That will cause starting as well as running problems.
D). When finished with a session, pour the gas from the trimmer back into the gas can. Start the trimmer and run 'er dry.
I used my TB20CS for an hour today with great results. Never ran engine above 50% throttle cutting grass 18 to 24 inches tall. Had to line feed only three times during the hour after hitting something really BIG in the grass. That .095 cord zipped through some heavy twigs as well as cactus without snapping.
My only negative is that my forearm started to ache after that hour. But then again, the TB20CS is not a light weight. A sling may be in order if I plan on extended use.
GO FOR IT !!!!
