Poulan Pro PP325 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer/Brush Cutter With Split Shaft

Included optional attachments and a split boom shaft turn the Poulan Pro 25 cc 2-cycle gas trimmer/brush cutter into 6 tools in 1: trimmer, edger, blower, cultivator, brush cutter, or pole pruner. The straight shaft trimmer/brush cutter features an 8-inch weed blade and 17-inch dual line attachment with a .115-inch diameter cutting line. The 2-cycle gas engine features a durachrome cylinder for extended engine life. This tool also includes a heavy duty automatic clutch, Tap N Go dual line cutting head, and an effortless Sure Fire pull starting system that eliminates complications with the choke. It comes with a trimmer cutting fixed line head type and brush cutter. This product is backed by a 2-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
Customer Review: waste of money,junk
I bought this new. I took it out of the box, assembled it, then started it. But now the trimmer does not spin. Never wored once ! I have taken it to a repair shop and have been waiting 2 weeks. They have to order parts. I had to pay $31.80 for them to look at it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I will say that it did start up nice.
Customer Review: You will be disappointed with the package
Poulan is a good brand, but this particular package is very disappointing. I thought when I ordered this product the Poulan Pro 17-Inch 25cc Gas-Powered Trimmer/Brush Cutter #PP325 $159.99 that I was getting both the Poulan Pro 17-Inch 25cc Gas Powered String Trimmer #PP125 $109.99 and the Poulan Pro Brush Cutter Trimmer Attachment #PP4000C $52.50 in one package and saving $2.50 by buying them in a combination package. However this package does not contain the brush cutter trimmer attachment. Instead it only contains the brush cutter blade and head. A second lower shaft assembly with the quick connect is NOT included in this package. So you have to actually take the brush cutter blade and head off with an allen wrench and reassemble it as a string trimmer when you want to change functions. Order the two items separately and you will be much happier with what you get, because you will be able to easily switch attachments using the quick connector. (The prices I listed are the current prices at the time I ordered).

Husqvarna 223L 18-Inch 24.5cc 2-Stroke Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer

Lightweight trimmer that is perfect for landowners and semi-professionals looking for the quality of Husqvarna's E-Tech engine and the ergonomic features unique to a straight shaft. Easy starting with air purge. Strong, braided wire cable drive and durable gear box that increases reliability. Comes with easy loading T35 bump trimmer head. Blade capable.
Customer Review: Light and Powerful
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).
