Q: I own a (4) cycle trimmer with attachments. Never had enough power and considering new purchase. Are those attachments interchangeable with this trimmer?

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi, Thanks for reaching out. We would need a little more information, like brand and model of your trimmer, to determine if attachments would be interchangeable. If your original trimmer is a Troy-Built trimmer, they should fit, but again, we would need to know more before we could make that claim.

Awesome Trimmer

5 years ago
Works with all Ryobi attachments! And it’s super tough and works very well. I was shocked how much better it was than the Husquvarna trimmer we got 5 months before this one! Significantly better than the Husquvarna.

I purchased one of these last week and it worked fine for about a half hour and then the bump head wasn't working. When I went to start it back up the starter line got jambed and i couldn't get it loose. I returned it and got a brand new one, on the second pull the new one jambed up as well. Disappointed.

Has some design flaws with the air filter cover.

13 days ago
Love that fact that my old attachments work with this model. Have an issue with the air filter assembly, the poor design of the thumb screw which holds the cover in place is an issue. Had to replace the cover and screw last year because it vibrated loose and I lost them in the brush I was cutting. Had to buy replacement air filters and cover. First use this year and lost the thumb screw again.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Two weedeaters for the price of one!

Two weedeaters for the price of one. It works great with either attachment, and starts easily.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Good so far...

10 months ago
Fired right up on first pull out of the box. Like the weight and solidness of the unit, power of the motor. A little concerned about the parts I can tell will break and wear down due to being plastic, but happy that my old attachments for from my Toro unit will work.

Yes, I recommend this product.
