Husqvarna 128LD 28cc 2-Cycle Straight Shaft String Trimmer

It gets the job done. I used it for tall weeds. It when right through it.

This trimmer is very nice. I knew I wanted a straight shaft and something i could get parts for down the road as needed which is why I chose this one. I didn't have the money for a commercial one so I got this. Out of the box it was the quietest trimmer I've ever used but don't have many to compare too. It was bogging and lacked power. However it says in the manual that the carb is set at the basic settings and needs to be properly adjusted. I did adjust it per zama (oem carb manufacturer) procedure. It's not a power house but it is a solid unit. I'd reccomend it

This trimmer starts right up and keeps running. No problems so far.

After buying "cheaper" trimmers every year I decided to finally buy aa good trimmer. I looked into multiple brands and choose this Husqvarna based on reviews abd the fact that it would accept the multiple attachments I already owned.

After initial purchase in late spring I truly abused this trimmer running it hours at atime catching up from last year. The initial the weekend included multiple gallons of fuel using everything from the supplied trimmer head, to my pole saw, and brush cuter (blade) attachments. I used two gallons of fuel in the first weekend alone.

Ihave continued to maintain my large yard throughout the rest of the year with not even the slightest issues. II use ethanol free fuel mixed to the correct ratio with quality 2stroke oil mix.

Icouldn't be happier or more impressed with the quality of this trimmer. Highly recommend.

I bought this trimmer at Lowes and less then a year later, it stopped working. I returned it to the store and got a new replacement . This one stopped working just after the year mark and could not return. At first, it would not start. I had the fuel filter and lines changed and it worked for a week and then it would start and cut right off. I am very disappointed in this trimmer. For $200, I shouldn't have these problems within a year.

Very powerful unit. Shipping was very fast and most appreciated.

I've heard many good things about Husqvarna from lots of people. So after reading many reviews I settled on this one. After using for an hour two reviews came back to me. One was that there's wouldn't idle without dying. Mine is doing exactly that.

Pretty disappointing. Another was that it bogs down as you give throttle. Mine is doing that as well. It'll cut, but the bog down is not what I expected. So I'm not too pleased that I have to take it to the shop to be adjusted.

I was told that this one would work with my attachments NO now I have 2 weed eaters . The new one and the old one that I have to fix

Since the previous trimmer (Weed Eater LT. ) broke at the bent portion of the curved shaft , I decided to replace it with something different and hopefully better .

The Husqvarna is definitely different because of the straight shaft design and dual trim line .

Overall first impression is positive but reserved .

Weighs a bit more than the other one but that is OK , straight shaft and the additional hardware for the two ( 2 ) piece shaft that allows for attachments adds to the weight .

Starting is straight forward and easy as long as the unit can be set down while pulling the cord .

Awkward to pull start while standing and holding the handle / grip area .

After 5 mins of use and warmed up , motor still bogs during spin up to full RPM's .

The dual trim line head maybe just a bit heavy and the extra mass requires a second or two to come up to top RPM's .

Cutting grass is a breeze and some of the thicker weeds and dried up stuff takes a little bit longer .

Never could stall it , even after winding a 30 foot piece of cable wire around it that someone left laying under the bushes .

Reloading line is easy after ya figure out how to do it a couple of times .

My only complaint so far is the gas tank could be bigger.

Walking back and forth to refill takes a lot of time .

I'll see how well it works over the long haul and so far has a good beginning .
