Poulan Pro 33cc Straight Shaft Trimmer

I decided on a 2 stroke unit, since my weeding is limited to edging and light trimming.

And, I like the higher RPM of the 2 stroke better for what I do, not to mention the ability to hold the motor in any position I like and even edge with it.

One Hint: after allowing the PP133 engine to "warm-up" for roughly 15 seconds...make sure you squeeze the trigger S-L-O-W-L-Y, or you will choke the carb. It takes a bit of getting used to.

My favorite feature of this PP133 is the line head. It's Pro all-the-way: simple, no-nonsense, heavy-line capable, and especially quick-accessible!

This unit has a nice, long straight shaft, too. The only thing that would make this model better would be a solid shaft, but for this kind of money...I'm not going to quibble.

Again...there's no excuse for ANY Trimmer Manufacturer NOT to have this type of line head on their models.
