TIMBERPRO 52cc Heavy Duty Split Strimmer and Brush Cutter with 3 Blades

I don't know how they can ship it from England in less than a week for $80. I paid the same as most auction sites and e-stores that listed 1 month shipping. the unit is heavy duty, but super powerful. I recommend the red 10" brush cutter blade to make this thing do some serious damage in your wooded lot.

A very robust unit at and at $350 a great value! The Sthil trimmer of comparable size in my area was selling for over $1,400. To my surprise most of the part's have Japan stamped on them. Always starts on the first pull, but be sure to use non-ethanol fule and quality two-stroke oil.

No replacement parts

Extremely disappointed in the unit. I used it 3 times and it stopped working. I took it to a repair shop and was told it would cost more to fix then it was worth.

Powerful, and does what it says it will do. I purchased two cutting blades separately and they fit right on. I'm still amazed that it shipped from England and three days later it was delivered by UPS.

When it runs it is a decent brush cutter/trimmer. The problems with this item: 1. There is absolutely no authorized service center in the U.S. 2. The company does not offer a full parts list, schematics or diagram for the product - which kills being able to self-service. 3. Even if you could determine the problem, there is limited online support for parts, ordering and support. Everything is on UK time and not very convenient because of this. I will not order any more timberpro products.

Easy to assemble and used.Heavy Duty so is Perfect to cut big bushes

bulky

As of yet it hasn't been tested in action (wrong season). Robust and comfortable to wear. The discs for brush cutting and the strimmer string seem strong and hopefully effective. The harness took some working out as there are no pics of it front and back being worn. The 'quick release' is not quick release because it's so stiff.I have mine hanging from a rafter in the shed so the mice can't get at any cables or hoses.I'll update once I have knowledge of its performance.

As you would expect, I was very happy to receive the Timberpro. A nice new toy. I set about putting it together. Easy. It started after only two pulls of the cord. An hour later and the garden was done. I noticed however that the engine caseing was vibrating a lot. It turned out that the screws were lose. It turns out that all the screws and bolts were lose. They ALL required tightening. This in it's self could have been dangerous. Other than that it is a great piece of equipment. Well worth the money

Having had to return the strimmer that I borrowed six years ago (due to my friend remembering who he had lent it to) and having recently had access to a large overgrown field, I was looking for a cheap heavy duty strimmer.Having trawled through countless products and reviews on Amazon, I decided to order the Timberpro 55cc despite occasional reviews detailing difficulty in assembly, difficulty in starting, difficulty in changing the line in the spool, poor instructions, seller not replying etc.I thought if it lasts long enough to do the field then it is worth a hundred quid.My experience is as follows, the strimmer arrived in good time with all the accessories, I managed to assemble it in about twenty minutes (using the clear instructions), I mixed the fuel and oil (in accordance with the instructions) so that the engine did not seize, primed the engine (according to the instructions) and after two pulls on cord the engine started.The strimmer was really powerful and after a minor (easy) adjustment to the harness (with the tools provided) I had a strimmer that was comfortable and balanced to use.Then disaster, after about three days of solid use I noticed one of the lugs that held the spool together had broken. Whilst the spool still worked I was concerned that it might fly apart losing vital components (it did not by the way). I emailed the seller, got a reply the next morning and received a new spool by post (to Jersey) within three days at no cost, with no arguments and with an apology.Since then I have used the strimmer (for about 80 hours) in a heavily brambled field with no problems. Changing the line was fiddly initially,(and to be fair to the "inadequate instructions" community) there were no instructions on how to do this. This was overcome by going on YouTube (other sites are available) and searching for "how to change strimmer line" or a similar phrase, I was offered the choice of a plethora of videos which showed how to do it, and inevitably an equal amount enticing me to view "epic fails" (whatever they are).As you may have gathered I am happy with both the product and service I received.On the service front I always take the view if I am still waiting for a reply from the seller it will not be helpful to put a review on. If they don't reply then obviously a one star review and a mysterious fire at their warehouse is the only appropriate way to get satisfaction.

After spending 6 weeks away from home, i returned to find my garden in a horrendous state with 3 ft grass, my partner is not strong enough to start the petrol mower so she couldnt cut it whilst i was away. Anyway i needed a beast to get through the grass and weeds, but i didnt want to fork out loads of cash for a decent strimmer... Saw this Timberpro which is actually a carbon copy of a very well known brand.... Bought it, it arrived in 2 days, easy to assemble, snd started on 3rd pull of the cord.... Very powerful and dealt with my garden easily... Trimmer line ran out quickly as not much is supplied, but easily replaced.... Had no need to use the cutting blades, and to be honest they seem unessacary for garden use.Every spare you can think of is available on a well known auction site just sometimes under a different name like actecmax, timbertech etc etc..... They obviously just get churned out of the factory and then branded afterwards for different sellers, but they are all the same machine.... The strimmer is well made, at first i thought the shaft that holds the strimmer head had some slight play left and right when attached to the main unit, but this locked up after the first use.... It is quite heavy on fuel but it is a 52cc engine...one thing i recommend is having a look at how the strimmer line is wound on before you use it, or look at a youtube video, because if you have never done it before it will drive you clincally insane when you come to replace the line... The actual bump feed works well, i just blip the throttle just before i tap the head, works just fine....... All in all a decent product, my advice would be to shop around for the cheapest price with the longest warranty, as i said it doesnt matter what brand it is, they are all the exact same machine.

Brought this machine last year and out of the box it was a bit of a nightmare. The harness bucket was so tight it snapped when put together and the controls on the handle bars were loose and felt cheap. The machine is very heavy also, it is not easy to handle around the garden. The whole machine seems very cheap and clunkyThis year, after only using a handful of times last year, the machine would not start. I contacted the seller directly and they said the machine has to be sent back to them. I live in Ireland and said this would be expensive so they offered to send it to their partner in Clonmel. The partner in Clonmel said the engine needs replacing, contacted the seller back and he said for that it needed to be returned to them. I asked if they could collect from their partner and they bluntly reminded me that they don't collect and I had been told before in a prior email. Safe to say I wont be sending it back as it will likely cost about as much as I paid and more in the long runAvoid this machine lads, chances are its going to break and cost you more in having to send it back. Spend the extra and avoid the hassle that I and countless others have had.
