Not The Old Troy-Built Company [Posted on 2005-05-22]
After my 22inch Yard-Man string trimmer died I was pleased to see Troy-Bilt offered a similar product. I read the previous review that stated problems with the broken oil tube. I have owned a Troy-Bilt rooter tiller for years and thought this was simply a unusual happening, after all Troy-Bilt makes the best. Little did I know the old Troy-Bilt went out of business and was aquired by MTD products. Well ten days later I received my trimmer and the oil tube was broken. With fire season on the way I taped the tube in place and used it to clear the brush. I called MTD products and between being keep on hold on the phone and getting the run around I gave up trying to get the replacement part under warranty. I ordered a new tube on line for $15 including shipping. This string trimmer is the old Yard-Man trimmer with a different engine. Last but not least the product worked well it just wasn't of old Troy-Bilt quality.

Parts missing / broken [Posted on 2005-07-15]
I ordered this mower 2 months ago, and it finally arrived yesterday. The oil intake funnel was broken off at the top, and suspended into the engine. The metal oil dip stick was bent at the tip at an angle of about 45 degrees because of that. There was no oil bottle shipped with the mower, unlike advertized. Troy Bilt (MTD) warranty support declined any assistance with the missing/broken parts, and referred me to Briggs&Stratton's warranty information inside the engine booklet. The only phone number in that booklet refers to a pre-recorded message, there is no way to get a customer representative on the phone. If you plan to order this mower, be prepared to take a gamble on broken/missing parts.

Very powerfull machine, just a step below a brush hog. My only criticism is that the gas tank isn't big enough. Otherwise, a very good machine.

This seems to be a very good trimmer. We have had a DR trimmer in the past. It doesn't have as many features as the DR but for the money is a very good buy.

Works well [Posted on 2007-01-04]
I was able to use this string mower for one season and the only complaint that I have is that the handle should be padded. As is the nature of this machine you are constantly pushing and pulling it to trim under trees and after awhile it started to hurt my hands. Even with gloves on. I added a piece of 3/4" foam pipe insulation to the handle and it helped out greatly. It works real well and the string holds up well also. It is several hundred dollars cheaper than the DR unit and this makes it well worth the money.
