This string trimmer is attachment capable, however, so there is a fixed-line option by purchasing the separate fixed-line attachment. This attachment is called the AS720 TrimmerPlus Add-On Fixed Line Cutting Head and it is Item Number 41CJXL-C902. Thank you for your question.

Troy-Bilt over Toro

4 years ago
I had a gas and electric Toro trimmer that wa 20 years old and I could not find parts for it. TSC is right across the street from me and after talking with Stephanie at TSC I elected to buy the Troy-Bilt and it works great for me. I have only had it a couple of weeks and have had to restring it from using it so much but no problem. I am happy with my Troy-Bilt.

Its 2 years old. Took the gas cap apart, cleaned, not sure what suppose to be on the return gas line , or how it works but its only a short line going into the tank, could that be the problem? I got blasters from pulling this guy, sometimes it will run a few seconds. I am done , can yoy advise whtat to do?… thanks, oh i always use 40-1 best grade fuel mix.

Didn’t work

Doesn’t work. It started and then quit - right out of the box. You can’t return it to Tractor Supply. Had to contact Troy Bilt and they want you to take to an authorized dealer, none of which are close to me, for diagnosis. If Tractor Supply sells, they should be able to take back.

Disappointed

It started up fine, I was just getting to hang of it and the line broke. When I went to take the line assembly off bump knob would not turn. I tried using plyers and nothing. My wife took it back to where we got it and they couldn't get it loose. They gave me a refund because they didn't have another one in stock. Now I'm looking for a weed eater

Poor design for bump string head

I just got a brand new one and the bump string head doesn't work. I tried for hours to get the trim line to roll up and also feed out . I have been extremely frustrated. I cannot believe that Troy Bilt put this trimmer out to its consumer. I recommend to others to avoid this trimmer .

Pretty good string trimmer

Overall this trimmer does the job & build quality is good. This replaced previous Troy-Bilt so I already had several attachments which is the primary reason I bought this one. What I don’t like is the gas tank is exceptionally small & mine didn’t come with a grip handle as pictured.
