Excellent buy on a solid trimmer.,
By
This review is from: Poulan Pro PP325 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer/Brush Cutter With Split Shaft (Lawn & Patio)
Purchased from Amazon.com with free shipping. Drop ships from manufacturer. Trimmer is well-assembled and has a large fuel tank. It ships with the straight-shaft trimmer mounted and the blade/blade shield neatly included. Switching to the blade head is quick enough, but you need some elbow grease and the provided wrench. The string is pre-cut, and is of odd size. The line is stiff, but not unworkable. It cuts like mad and will slice through most weeds and vines that thinner stuff won't touch. Go ahead and purchase the extra line now--it only comes with 5 pieces and one 1-gallon 40:1 mixer.
Attaching the trimmer guard and J-handle was quick enough, but pay attention to which particular threads you are using on each of the bolts. The coarser threads are intended for the handle bracket and your own Allen wrench will come in handy. Initial starting was almost exactly per the instruction book, and the carb seems fairly flood-resistant. It wanted to cough at first, but let the self-locking throttle hold for 10 seconds and it will quickly come up to speed. Do not hold the throttle or over-pump the carb and pull sharply. It will reward you with quick starts. Performance is awesome at any throttle speed above one-quarter, and this Poulan really cuts well at about half throttle. The engine is tuned hot and it revs quickly with great torque, despite the flexible driveshaft. Noise supression from the unobstrusive muffler is good and heat shielding is also good. Decent throttle response and fuel economy as well, but be ready to replace the line frequently if you trim in heavy weeds or against concrete or brick. Line changes, fortunately, are fast once you get the hang of it. Overall, a great bargain at $160, especially considering the brush cutter is included. More than adequate for any large residence--highly recommended.

Disappointed but still a good trimmer,

This review is from: Poulan Pro PP325 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer/Brush Cutter With Split Shaft (Lawn & Patio)
I bought this thinking I would be able to quickly switch between the trimmer attachment and the brush blade. You can, but this only comes with a single attachment shaft so you have to the allen wrench and another wrench to make the switch. I was expecting two shafts, one for each attachment.
Mine does not like to have the throttle above halfway. It will sputter and try to die in thick grass but quickly speeds up when I move it away for a moment. If I squeeze the throttle all the way it will die. I am constantly having to feather the throttle to keep the RPM up enough to cut effectively but not high enough to make it turn off. While it runs it does a fantastic job. The string is very easy to change and the brush cutter makes quick work of small vines and the stuff too thick for the trimmer. The is no kickback when using the brush cutter and I feel safe while cutting. I will look for a second attachment shaft so I can quickly move from trimmer to cutter without having to break out the tools and stop working.

Good product for the money,

This review is from: Poulan Pro PP325 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Straight Shaft String Trimmer/Brush Cutter With Split Shaft (Lawn & Patio)
I have the Poulan Pro PP325 and have has good service from it. I especially like having a string trimmer and a bush cutter in one machine. The nylon string is very tough; it is an odd size but is readily availabel at TrueValue hardware stores or I get it from their web site.
