[Tip for your line trimmer!!]

My Ryobi 2 stroke 25cc, has a throttle.. There is no speed on the throttle that cannot cut grass.. This week over 2 days I did 3 and a big properties, front and back, without adding more line once.. Today I had to add a bit of line as the line just wore away. Didn't break. Just got shorter. 

Thing is it is going so slow, it does not break when you hit a fence post, or rock. Grass still gets cut. You can always add a little more power if you need it, but just on grass and weeds, just try to find a speed on your line trimmer that does not cut it. 

Less fuel, and less line. 

[Tip for your line trimmer!!]

Out of a job the other day, trimming the grass from out under fence and I came up with pro tip that will be very handy to anyone.. .

The tip. 

Only run the line trimmer at a speed that can cut the grass.. You'll be surprised just how slow that is. (2 strokes are better at this than 4 strokes.)

I run my 25cc Ryobi line trimmer as slow as I can, AND is still cuts grass under a fence line. 

There are 2 big advantages to this. 

1. You'll use less fuel
2. Your line will not break when you hit the fence post. 

I did a couple of job during the week.. 2 whole property fence lines. Did not add more line once. The line on there looks thinner, but it has not broken once.. 

You can thank me later. Try this.

Took them 2 week to respond.. 

"Unfortunately there is no adaptor that is applicable for these items. The Expand It range is not suitable for your unit. "
 

No explanation why not.. Just just a spinning shaft after all.. Looks like a DIY project in the making.

Been 5 days now since I reached out to Ryobi. No response.  Could have posted them a letter in that time.

I am starting new lawn care business.. After a healthy tax return I went out to buy the whole Expand-it range along with a powerful motor to run them.  I got the Ryobi 52cc 2 stroke. 

Alas, that head does not do the Expand-it stuff. The fittings are wrong. 

I was planning to buy another head anyway so I got the Ryobi 25cc 2 stroke that has Expand-it compatibile on the box. That works but I got thinking. It's just a turning shaft. There must be an adapter for this so you can use the Expand-it stuff on any other head you like. 

Anyone seen this anywhere? Anyone here done that?
