4Troy-Bilt TB590BC  Jan 31, 2010
The Troy-Bilt TB590BC is a great tool. However the one weak point is the coupler in the shaft. The coupler on the shaft rotates slightly with heavy use especially when using the brush blade.

4Solid & reliable  Dec 05, 2009
I bought this after agonizing over what to get. I looked at both of the major "home" store chains by my house and on the internet. I had almost settled on propane powered Lehr. I went with the Troy-Bilt for several reasons:
1) straight shaft
2) clutched motor
3) The EZ-couple
4) The .105 line already installed
5) The 18" cutting rather then 17"
6) The included brush butting blade

When I looked at what it would take to make any other string trimmer offer all of the same feature it wound up costing a lot more then the Troy-Bilt.

I have a very very steep hill on my property that I have to clear every spring. In the past I did it with a 17" curved shaft 2 stroke. It was a big chore. I had to load with .105 line (I'm cutting some very thick central California brush) and still sometime the brush would get the best of the motor and it would stall. Some of the brush is so thick that I would also have to carry clippers and do some by hand. The curved shaft put my feet and legs in danger. My work boots are scared up from the string nicking my boot. This will no longer be the case. My TB590BC is easy and fast to start. It is heavier then the 2 stroke but not so much so that it tires me out. It is well balanced and the reach is good. Even on the steep hill the cutting head is far from my toes.

2Not what is advertised  Jun 18, 2009
Having had years of experience with 2 cycle trimmers I was looking for a better more dependable outcome with a 4 cycle trimmer. I selected this Troy-Bilt model from Amazon as I was unable to purchase locally as there were no choices. Delivery was fast, set up was easy, starting it was .... a nightmare. I followed the multi-step starting instructions explicitly, and repeatedly. After repeated attempts I finally was able to start the engine by completely closing the choke lever (position 1) until it sputtered, then opening the choke lever to position 2, it started! After letting it warm up by holding the throttle lever to maximum for several minutes, it would continue to run at idle. However when I positioned the choke lever to position 1 (per the instructions) the engine stopped. This happens every time I am able to start the engine. This engine is not properly adjusted to function per the detailed starting instructions provided by Troy-Bilt. This engine has turned out to be even more frustrating than I have encountered with 2 cycle engines. I also find the engine speed to be slower than 2 cycle trimmers, and this definitely affects the quality and ease of trimming grass. The engine rotation is also different, turning the trimmer string counterclockwise. Being right handed, the grass clippings now completely cover my shoes and legs making a bigger than normal mess. I will be returning this trimmer, and will purchase a 2cycle trimmer at half the cost that will work twice as good.

4Great, but...  Jun 09, 2009
I have one of these (or it's immediate predacessor model) for 5 years and it worked flawlessly. Then one day I was knee deep in the swamp cutting cattails just under the waterline and KABLOOEY! The cattails wrapped around the bush cutter head and the EZ Link drive cable twisted apart at the coupling. I thought it could do everything! I was disappointed. ;-))

Actually I give it 5 stars. It was saftey engineered well enough that I didn't have my arm cut off when the cutting head wrapped around the cattails and pulled me off my feet into the swamp and the cutter. The safety engine kill and brake worked like a charm.

I took the motor (which was still alright) and made a fence post auger out of it. That sucker has some torque!

Yes, I am a red-neck if you were wondering...
