754-04041, 954-04041 Replacement Belt for MTD, Cub Cadet. Made with Aramid cord. Review

I was looking for a less expensive replacement belt after just burning through 1 3 day old $42 belt from a Cub Cadet dealer.

I had thought it was a defective belt, but it wasn't.I had a problem with one of the deck pulleys.

However, I thought I would rather test the problem out on a belt costing $18 rather than $42, so I order 2 of these inexpensive belts.

After 5 weeks of mowing the lawn ( 2 acre property ), the new $18 belt is going strong.Took it off to inspect it.Looks as good as the day I got it.So at less than 1/2 the price, I am a very satisfied customer.

Earthwise ST00011 11-Inch 3.75 Amp Electric String Trimmer Review

I had high hopes for this trimmer after falling in love with the Earthwise Electric Mower I just bought, but I'm sadly disappointed.

I hate reviews that have no specifics, so here's the details.The trimmer is well built, has plenty of power and and a cool pivoting head, but the negative points below more than make up for those good ones.

The auto-line-feed is just terrible even when it works.It only releases more line when the centrifugal force on it is low enough to trigger the spring.That means you either have to work it down to a nub, or release the power until the head spins down to hear a faint "click".Even then, you only get a small amount, so I ended up having to rev it a few times, every time.There's just no beating the old tried-and-true bump-feed when they're built right.

The line spool is easy enough to string, but gets tangled easily and ends up being a major headache when combined with the auto-line-feed head problem above.

There's a line cutter on the guard intended to waste some line each time more is extended.This burns up line like crazy and keeps it too short. I know it's only an 11 inch cut, but I had to remove the entire guard to save line and get a decent spread. Working as a professional in the past we would just remove them anyway.

Since the motor is down in the head and rather heavy (powerful, like you'd want), the balance is horrible. All the weight is out at the point you are waving around the most.It's the worst possible arraignment, and a complete deal-breaker for me.I guess I knew that any trimmer with the motor in the head was going to be like that, but didn't realize it would be so bad. My forearms still hurt.

Earthwise makes a good product, but the design of this one falls far short.I still love my 22 inch mower, but I'm shopping for another trimmer now for sure.

Black & Decker ST1000 9-Inch 1.8 amp Electric Grass Trimmer Review

This small, light weight trimming/edging tool cuts in 9-inch swathes at a time. Because of its size, it is more controllable than the larger (12" - 14") trimmers.

The larger, more powerful trimmers are not suitable for many lawns. I took back one because of its imprecise cutting. The powerful motor resulted in the shredding of a wood edging that separates the lawn from an adjacent mulched area.

One problem with all trimmers is that there is nothing to catch the flying bits of lawn.The only thing that might help in the future is to lay a sheet over the mulched area adjacent to the lawn to catch the cuttings, and move the sheet as I go along. Perhaps this should come with a sheet? Again, the smaller, less powerful machine's precision reduces excess trimmings. This is also a less noisy machine and is easier to store than the more powerful trimmers.

Features include a trimming option so that you can trim lawn under protruding bushes or around rocks, etc. There's also a locking feature for the electric cord. YOu do need to occasionally "bump" the machine (literally lighting hitting it against the lawn) to advance the cutting wire, this takes a little practice to get right. However, the learning curve is fast, after a few outings I thought this was a useful machine and money well spent.

Product Description:
If you're in the market for a basic, entry-level electric trimmer to handle light trimming work around your house, the Black and Decker 9-inch grass trimmer might be worth considering. While certainly not as powerful or feature-laden as more costly models, this trimmer can handle much of the light-duty work many homeowners need. The trimmer weighs just 3.2 pounds and requires little assembly with just 2 steps. It operates off a reliable, 1.8-amp HP motor, which spins the line at 11,000 rpm. This grass trimmer features a basic bump feed line system, a generous nine-inch cutting path, and a secondary assist handle for added comfort and control. It comes with 20 feet of .065-diameter line, and spool replacement is fairly simple. One thing I found especially handy with this particular trimmer was its unique cord lock system, which holds the extension cord firmly in place while the trimmer is in use. As someone who has accidentally unplugged a trimmer halfway through a job on more than one occasion, this indeed a handy feature to have. This product is backed by a 2-year full warranty. --Carl Thress
