Poulan Pro 17-inch 33cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Curved Shaft Attachment Capable String Trimmer #PP033

Poulan Pro 17-inch 33cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Curved Shaft Attachment Capable String Trimmer #PP033 Review


I bought this string trimmer with the hopes of using its 33cc motor with attachments in the future. Right now it is strictly a string trimmer. Out of the box, I realized this thing is beefy. It is heavy! Walk away right now if you are looking for a lightweight trimmer.

It does come with a small bottle of 2 cycle oil. Once I filled it with gas, the first start was slow to come. I discovered that the choking system is poorly designed (basically on/off). Starting is best handled by holding the throttle ever so slightly open. After about 45 minutes of use I burned through an entire tank of fuel.

The tap string feeder works pretty good with .080 string. I tried the .095 string and it works ok. I recommend .080 for the standard use and the .095 for along chain link fence.

Bottom-line it runs good, works great, it's heavy, but with the 33cc engine it should handle the attachments better than the average string trimmer.

Factory Reconditioned Expand-It ZR15518 Edger Attachment For String Trimmers

Factory Reconditioned Expand-It ZR15518 Edger Attachment For String Trimmers Review


I ordered this edger as my first attachment for the Troy-Bilt TB70SS 2-cycle string trimmer I purchased locally last summer. Troy-Bilt 31cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer With SpeedLock #TB70SS Having read the reviews here and recognizing that some have had trouble with the "universal" nature of the Expand-It attachments on various machines, I was inclined to be skeptical.

I need not have worried. The attachment arrived in good shape, and appeared to be in never-used condition. The only indication that it is not new is the "RECON" mark heat-stamped into the plastic near the curb guard. The attachment mated perfectly with my power unit, and off I went.

It took about 20 feet of sidewalk before I got the hang of edging with this attachment; following that, the job went fast. Homelite says that light contact with the sidewalk or curb wlll not damage the blade. Good thing, because on this first cut of a never-edged sidewalk the sparks were occasionally flying! Now that I can see the edge I anticipate future jobs will be easier.

This appears to be a sturdy, well-built tool. Buying factory-reconditioned is a little like eating pot-luck, but the total I paid, including shipping, is about two-thirds the lowest price I found for new attachments.

  • Factory Serviced to perform like new--minor cosmetic blemishes may be present
  • Large rubber guide wheel for stability and control

Lawn Care Business safety discussion. Protective equipment.

increases protection. You should also, under the protective shield. Hearing protection: There are two types. The most effective method I have is a pair of pistols range earmuffs. They reduce the volume of lawn mowers, lawn trimmers and Weedeater. Foam plugs are too large for the reduction of noise. Sometimes I wear both types of hearing protection at the same time, if I do I work with loud equipment for long periods. Always use hearing protection. Gloves: Your hands ...

Best of all, a rugged plastic housing and lightweight aluminum shaft offer unsurpassed durability and longer tool life.

Poulan Pro PP125 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer With Split Shaft Review


This is my first trimmer - I have always avoided them in the past because they are usually so noisy. This one is a breeze to put together, starts easily and works well. I also bought a few of its attachments, which are more mixed and probably not worthwhile. But for just trimming grass under bushes etc its fine.
