About Poulan Pro PR28SD, 17 in. 28cc 2-Cycle Gas Straight Shaft String Trimmer
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
77% found it easy to carry, but 23% didn't appreciate
The unit is nice and long, which is great for my old back and shoulders, but it is a bit weighty.
I like the lighter weight of the model, but I'm afraid it won't hold up long term for the task I purchased it for.
I find myself leaning into the trimmer a bit too much as it is a little short for me.
86% liked the quiet operation, but 14% found it loud
I knew the string-trimmer was in trouble when it stalled abruptly with a bad noise.
87% found the multiple speed settings beneficial, but 13% didn't
I can easily start the trimmer and it has enough power to cut through blackberries.
At high RPMs, I find the string-trimmer to have enough power and it runs okay.
The engine of the string trimmer turns a rod and spool of plastic cord at a max of 8000 RPM's and has a capacity of 28cc.
I tried grass trimmers with smaller engines but they all lacked enough power to get through grass without stalling or slowing down.
81% highlighted the easy assembly
The Poulin trimmer is easy to start and has sufficient power.
Assembling the string-trimmer was very easy.
I assembled the trimmer easily and it started in 3 pulls.
The trimmer is easy to assemble and comes with line already loaded on the trimmer head and 1 bottle of 2 cycle oil.
80% found it easy to use
I found the string-trimmer quite easy to use by following the maintenance instructions.
