Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Ryobi 17-Inch 31 cc 2-Cycle Gas String Trimmer with TrimmerPlus System and Straight Shaft means business. Its straight shaft means no bending to trim under low growth, and the TrimmerPlus feature means it's not just a trimmer, it's a shed full of tools. Interchangeable tool heads convert this workhorse into a hedge trimmer, edger, cultivator, blower, or snow thrower in virtually no time because of Ryobi's cleverly engineered EZ-Link connection. The EZ-Start System is easy on your back; just prime, flip, and pull for an easy start, every time. We like the SpeedSpool line system on this model because you have two line replacement options. Rewind new line onto the old spool or just pop in a new, pre-wound SpeedSpool. A generous 17-inch cutting swath will get you out of your work clothes and into the hammock in record time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ryobi 775r Trimmer Plus, July 27, 2003

What a great line trimmer. The optional equiptment sure makes yardwork more of a pleasure. There are those whose say "get ready for blisters", but that does not have to happen. Always remember to add fuel stabalizer to your oil & gas mix. These small engines have small carberators. These small carbs have small gas ports. If you allow your fuel to sit for months (most people do) it will start to break down and varnish deposits are the result. These small bits of varnish then plug up the fuel ports inside you carb. If you have that problem, just add a little "Berrymans" gas additive to your fuel. Start the unit and allow it to idle for five minutes or so.

My unit starts every time. Never more than three pulls.

If your are looking to purchase a line trimmer, buy the best...Ryobi.

This review is from: Ryobi 17-Inch 31cc Gas-Powered String Trimmer with TrimmerPlus System and Straight Shaft 775R (Lawn & Patio)

I've had the Ryobi string trimmer for about seven years. Finally wore out the old one and had such a great experience with no problems over the years that I decided to purchase a new 775r. First one I received had a bad clutch. Sent it back to Amazon who readily replaced it. The new one sent had a seized engine. Never ran out of the box because it came out seized. Not sure what's happening with Ryobi but stay away from this company and product. Until this experience I would've sworn by them. Reading some of the other reviews, I'm not the only one who's been let down by the company.

I wrote an email to the folks at Ryobi and got a form email response.

Buyer Beware.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great but try to get parts, August 8, 2003

I purchased my Ryobi 775 about 3 to 4 years ago and have several of the attachments. All in all I believe it is well engineered and have never had problems with the engine. To date it still only takes about three pulls to start. Only problem I've had is with the spooler which required about $$$ in parts and three hours of work to replace the worn out parts. The problem with the Ryobi's now is that the whole line was purchased by MTD not too long ago and the parts are being carried by some company out of New York. I will say that the parts were ordered early on a Tuesday and arrive by end on day on Wednesday. I look forward to at least another 5 years before I worry about replacing the unit. All in all a very good product
