Troy-Bilt is a company from the USA and their products are made for every gardening situation. You can take care of your lawn with their lawn care products, you can work in the garden and even clean everything up when you are done with their blowers. If you think that they forgot about the winter, you are wrong because they are producing snow garden equipment too alongside different Troy-Bilt accessories. All that is great and impressive, but I want to talk about the Troy-Bilt weed eater models. After all, this is a weed eater site, not a gardening one.
So, if you have a small to the medium yard and you need a big lawn mower then Troy-Bilt trimmer is a better choice for you. People behind Troy-Bilt know that people need light, strong and fast trimmers so they developed an impressive line of Troy-Bilt gas trimmer models and I took time to write Troy-Bilt trimmer reviews which will help you see if those products are the one you need for your yard.
So, let’s take a look at what makes Troy-Bilt weed trimmers so user-friendly products.
Troy-Bilt Weed Eater Reviews
Troy-Bilt TB575 EC & TB525 EC Gas Trimmer
As you can see, in the title of this Troy-Bilt review I have mentioned two models because they are actually the same model with two types of the shaft. The TB575 is a Troy-Bilt trimmer with a straight shaft and the TB525 has the curved shaft. Everything else is pretty much the same. They are both Troy-Bilt 4-cycle trimmers powered with a 29cc engine. The Troy-Bilt weed eater has a special Jump Start system which means that you don’t have to pull the cord to start the engine which makes the entire process much easier. The Troy-Bilt string trimmer is compatible with different Troy-Bilt attachments so you can use it as a multi-tool, not just a trimmer.
Pros:
You can choose the straight or the curved shaft for your Troy-Bilt 4-cycle weed eater.
It is compatible with other Troy-Bilt attachments and some other brands.
Cons:
There are problems with the engine.
You have to buy a Jump Start system separately.
Troy-Bilt TB22 EC & TB32 EC Gas Trimmer
You can see that the similar story with two versions of a Troy-Bilt weed trimmer is happening here too. The Troy-Bilt weed eater TB22 EC is a gas trimmer with curved shaft while the TB32 comes with a straight shaft and that is their only difference. They are both Troy-Bilt 2 cycle trimmer models which are slightly weaker than models above. The Troy-Bilt 25cc trimmer is made to cut most weed types but I am not sure if it can fight the hard-core weed, the Troy-Bilt 27cc weed eater is a better choice for that. The anti-vibration handle keeps fatigue away from your hands so you can work as much as you can. Just like both Troy-Bilt gas weed eater models above, this one is compatible with Troy-Bilt edger attachment and others which makes it a multi-tool for gardening.
Pros:
You can choose the straight or the curved shaft for your Troy-Bilt 2-cycle weed eater.
Anti-vibration handle will make the entire trimming process more comfortable.
Cons:
The engine is not as strong as the Troy-Bilt 4 cycle trimmer.
Troy-Bilt TB685 EC & TB635 EC Gas Trimmer
This is another Troy-Bilt 4-stroke weed eater that comes with the curved and straight shaft. The Troy-Bilt TB635 EC trimmer is the one with the straight shaft while the Troy-Bilt TB685 EC is the one with the curved shaft. That means that you can choose the model by other specifications and leave the safety of the shaft for last. The Troy-Bilt trimmer comes with adjustable Pro handle so you can use the trimmer with left or right hand. You can use the Jump Start system on this model, but you have to buy it separately. Just like other models, this one offers you a chance to replace the head with some other attachment so it is a very user-friendly product.
Pros:
It comes with both curved and straight shaft so you can choose the one you like.
The adjustable handle allows you to use the trimmer with left or right hand.
Cons:
You have to order the Jump Start system additionally.
Troy-Bilt TB25S Gas Trimmer
This Troy-Bilt 25cc trimmer comes with a SpringAssistant starting technology so you can easily and quickly start the trimmer. This Troy-Bilt gas trimmer comes with a straight shaft so you can easily reach tricky places in your yard. This gas trimmer is more suitable for beginners because it is not too strong and it comes with a 14“ cutting line. The adjustable handle makes the entire process easier because it reduces vibrations during trimming. You can transform this trimmer into Troy-Bilt brush cutter or edger if you use the right attachments.
Pros:
The SpringAssistant technology makes the engine start easier and quicker.
It is more suitable for beginners due to the weaker engine and smaller cutting line.
Cons:
The engine should be stronger if you are experienced and want to trim quickly.
Troy-Bilt TB35 EC Gas Trimmer
This gas trimmer is actually very similar to the TB25S model. Both of them are equipped with a 25cc engine. Besides that, this is a Troy-Bilt 2-cycle weed eater, not a 4-cycle which means it is weaker than other models. This trimmer has a line release that releases premeasured line which makes the entire trimming process faster and simpler. The handle on the trimmer is adjustable so you can really enjoy the entire tool even if you don’t have experience in it. There is a JumpStart option for this weed trimmer too, but you have to buy it separately if you want it.
Pros:
The handle on the trimmer is adjustable and the line release releases premeasured line for cutting.
The engine is weaker than others so it is a good choice for beginners.

If you want a JumpStart you will have to buy it additionally.

Just like the models above, this one comes with SpringAssistant technology for better and quicker start. The cutting line on this trimmer is not short, it is 18“ which is pretty great if you know how to control it. There is a reason why all Troy-Bilt weed trimmers are so user-friendly and this Troy-Bilt TrimmerPlus Attachment option is one of them.

This is the only model in the category that comes with a limited lifetime Troy-Blit warranty and that means something. You can control the speed of the trimmer and you can monitor the battery status on the Power Output Display. The multi-position and overmold contour handle make the 16“ line control a breeze and you will feel like you are working with the gas trimmer, but without the noise that gas trimmers produce.

Troy-Bilt TB42 BC Gas Brushcutter
This is the only Troy-Blit brush cutter on my list but that doesn’t mean it is the only one on the market. This brush cutter uses a 27cc engine with foot pedal for continuously variable transmission so you can expect that you will do the job quickly and fast. You can easily control this brush cutter with the J-handle on the shaft. The handle is adjustable so you can use it with left or right hand.

Troy-Bilt Weed Eater Attachments & Parts
One of the most popular Troy-Blit weed eater parts is definitely the Troy-Blit weed eater JumpStart that you have to buy separately to improve the entire tool. The best part about it is the fact that it is compatible with every model on this list and that is why it is so popular. Besides that, people are also buying Troy-Blit weedeater carburetor, head, oil, and other Troy-Blit trimmer parts. Those parts can be Troy-Blit 4-cycle parts or even the Troy-Blit battery, but the one thing you have to know is that Troy-Blit produces them, not some Chinese factory.
Another interesting category in this paragraph is the Troy-Blit weed eater attachments. That is interesting because you can transform any type of Troy-Blit tool with the proper attachments. That means all you need are the Troy-Blit string trimmer attachments, triller attachments or even the edger attachment. The reason why they did that is simple. With those Troy-Blit attachments, they wanted to make user-friendly products which are more interesting for persons who want to maintain their yards.
