Gear Box is Junk [Posted on 2003-07-27]
I purchased the Troy-Bilt version of this (both Troy-Bilt and Ryobi are manufactured by MTD) Trimmer-Plus gizmo - looked good. The gear box gears (which allows for the 'straight-shaft') lost their teeth after about 2 months of light use. Came in here to see what a new 'trimmer attachment' cost since I hate to lose the whole thing - excellent and reliable engine.
Ryobi Line Trimmer (775r) [Posted on 2003-07-27]
I am very happy with my Ryobi. Three years old and it starts every time. Some reviews say they can't start them and end up with blisters, but that's because they do not maintain them correctly. Just remember to add fuel stabalizer to your gas so that the fuel doesn't break down. These carberators are small and it wouldn't take much to plug 'em up. Even then, you can usually fix them by adding "Barrymans" gas additive to your fuel. Then allow the unit to idle for 5 minutes or so. Barrymans will break down any small varnish particles that may be plugging the fuel ports in the carb. I really like the optional attachments and how quick I can change them from one tool to another. It sure makes yardwork more of a pleasure. So, if your are ready, purchase the best...buy Ryobi.
Just Follow Instructions Soldier!!! [Posted on 2004-05-07]
I have used the Ryobi Trimmer-Plus gas trimmer for about 4 years now.The only reason I had to replace my original 825r trimmer shaft was because I tried to use an Echo quick release spool which was too heavy and broke the rod inside the shaft. Now that I have read the instructions on how to correctly use the speed spool,I've found myself not changing the line every two minutes. I just bump the bumperhead on the ground and the line comes out with no hassle.
trouble with string head [Posted on 2006-08-20]
engine great. starts and runs well. I got a couple of good years use from the string head ,then wear caused a problem where the string would all release at once making a snarl at the head and being unusable with any decent lenght line.
I have just purchased spare parts ($70)and am disgusted as with replacement spool and bump head, it still acted up on the first usage.
I think there is slight wear on the ratchet mechanism and it angles to release the spool all the way instead of catching when bumped. I don't want to buy an entire replacement head unit, I also don't want to waste valuable tine on a dffcult to work on unit.
The Ryobi didn't last long enough to be a god buy. My old IDC unit lasted for years and accommodated thicker line to boot. Don't bother with line less than 0.095 as it disappears too fast.
