40v Ryobi trimmer
Just bought a 40v brushless Ryobi trimmer today. Link below to exactly what I got. I also got the edger and pole saw attachments. So far I like it. It's not as good as gasoline (in some ways) like marketed on the box, but I wouldn't go back either. I used the edger first. My lawn has not been edged in years. I stopped the edger several times. After using it a bit I realized that the power head has a high/Low switch. Edging is a lower speed operation and it worked better after switching to low. I used the string trimmer a bit and it felt odd to me. I dug out all my old Ryobi "TrimmerPlus" attachments from 10 years ago and I realized that the rotation of the new trimmer head is counter what is was years ago. Glad I paid extra for the lighter carbon fiber shaft when I like using my old trimmer head better. Note on this, I'm left handed and like the trigger in my left hand.
With the expandit system the power head has the battery and the motor included. Most other trimmers have the motor near the trimmer head. Any attachment can be used with any power head. I prefer the balance of this placement. Power head options are 18v, 40v, 110V-AC, 2cycle gasoline and 4cycle gasoline. Pros: No gasoline or oil to store or have. Less noise and vibration compared to gasoline. Compatible with my old "trimmer plus" attachments from years ago. Cons: Less run time on 1 4ahr battery than gasoline Maybe less power (i'm still evaluating this) I have the following new "expand-it" items 40v power head 4aHr battery with fast charger straight shaft carbon fiber trimmer edger pole saw. I have the following old "trimmer plus" items straight shaft trimmer curved shaft trimmer garden cultivator swirl cage leaf blower Power snow shovel. (piece of junk, don't buy) Overall I like it so far and wouldn't want to go back to gasoline. This is based on about 1 hour of use mostly edging. Some trimming and blower work. If you have questions or comments or things to test let me know and I will attempt to answer. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-HP...4-_-N&#overlay

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
