Greenworks 60V String Trimmer Review | Quick Wind Head and Good Balance 

I've owned this trimmer for a while now and had no issues with it. However, I did not realize it had two speeds until I watched your video. Nice to know. Thanks!

Thanks for showing how to reload the string. We spent entirely too long fighting to get it to work before watching this video.

Thanks so much, you just saved my sanity with this video, looking at the spool it makes no sense at all. Follow these steps and don’t ask questions. That will get it done, it’s a two minute operation if you do.

UPDATE~Found the perfect line for this trimmer! It transforms this trimmer from a tool I can't use to one that I want to use :) Dewalt line .080 x 225ft. part #DW01DT802 (found at Home Depot). This smooth line (not twisted or multi-angle) makes loading a breeze and the bump advance now works perfect. Just get this line & thank me later!

Thank you so much Kenny....your review was excellent...especially for a little "old" lady who's never done this before! I'm going to do my best and certainly appreciate your telling me how it works. 😀 Cheers!

Thanks. Much better than the official tutorial. They never discussed taking the cover off which revealed the tangled string, which was keeping me from feeding more string through.

you are the hero Gotham needs

Thanks for the info, I just watched a video of someone taking the whole head apart to restring and thought...there has got to be a better way. And now I got it!

Thanks Kenny! After purchasing the 80v trimmer and leaf blower combo at Costco last year. I had misplaced the directions and really found it difficult to wind the trimmer. Your video is the best and a saved me that headache moving forward! Quick and easy! I highly recommend this trimmer as well as the leaf blower!

GREAT video ! Thank you. I had no problem changing the line after watching.

Nice. I like reviews and demonstrations like this. Right to the point. Thanks.

Great video! I was curious about the weight & string. Answered all of my questions. I recently bought the lawnmower & love it. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for information about trimmer lines, pretty easy installations. i learned how to do it appreciate to show in video. Thanks again.

Great video. And the process to switch out the is so much easier than on my old trimmer.

Thank you! I have a newer battery powered Toro that has the same still head so your directions worked perfectly for me.

Thank you! I really appreciate your demo and explanation for installing replacement string. I really like the trimmer but it's NOTHING without string. :) I have Greenworks cordless mower, blower and trimmer--all work well!

Perfect. So and straight to the point.

Love this weed eater!! After I got my greenworks 60v mower last summer, I recently ordered the 60v weedeater. That way I can use the same battery/charger for all my yard equipment. No more fooling around with fuel mixtures/carborators/spark plugs and de winterising my tools

Great Job on getting straight to it, very informative and helpful.

Men. thank you. You just saved me a lot of stress trying to replace the rope on this

Thanks for the review! Appreciate the clear instructions on how to replace/add the line.

Thanks! What you showed made fixing mine a snap!

Thank God I found this video. I was cussing at the weed trimmer in the kitchen, LOL....This worked like a charm in getting that dang line threaded thru. While I do like the trimmer, the line change-out is a bit difficult. Especially if you have arthritis in the hands. Turning that know took all I had.

This thing is a beast...way better than my gas trimmer.

Thank you! I knew it was easier than I was trying to do!

How do you change the trimmer head on this? I would like to use blades.

Wow! I've been doing it wrong for years lol 😆. I'm definitely going to subscribe and learn a lot more from you. Thanks!

Got it. Pretty heavy on the hand pressure to load. 40-50 pounds on my year old machine. It does well overall. I wonder if that much pressure is too big of an ask for an older residential buyer?? Thoughts?

Hi Kenny.... Thanks for the video. Just purchased this edger, I've never used one before, but about 3 minutes after I turned it on, it stopped and I cant get it running again. any suggestions for what I might try before returning it?

Good video. Thanks. I am going to buy a trimmer this weekend

How do I install a speed feed head on a 24 volt model? The string on the inside keeps slipping - pain in the ass! I can't find anywhere the head casing comes off.

Do you know if you can replace the quick wind onto a model that doesn’t have it?

Very helpful mess around for 30 minutes, then at home this,thus, was done in a minute thanks fam

Trimmer is awesome. Line feed isn’t. They still need to fix this issue.

I have the 60 inch pro and I do like the way it runs but the head keeps popping off if I touch anything resembling a fence or a rock intros the string in the spring in the button all over the yard I'm looking for a fixed head for it

Can you remover the trimmer on this to then add the cultivator attachment?

I have the 60V trimmer with the green head, and it doesn't seem that intuitive like the trimmer you just showed. The tap/advance feature doesn't seem to work and i bough the prerolled spools from greenworks. Not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I noticed on other Greenworks weed wackers that the head could turn and be used as an edger. Can this model do that?

Hello I’m having a hard time turning the knob to wing the string in

This was awesome & helpful, I subscribed

great presentation, also how you replease the electric motor on this trimer .Thank you for reply

Kenny Can you get the Load N Go head as a replacement part for an older model Greenworks 60V the kind with the battery that loads from the back end ? Would it be interchangeable with that style / model ?

Thanks for this video!!!

Trying to use this one for commercial use and a couple extra batteries. Is there one you have reviews on commercially?

so, the arrow on my bump knob has been scratched off during use. any suggestions on how to line it up properly? do i need to buy a new bump knob? how often are those typically needing to be replaced? Thanks in advance.

Хороший триммер. Интересно, привод вала осуществляется напрямую от двигателя или есть редуктор?

Hi Kenny wonder if you could help I have the 60v trimmer but ever since I replaced the line after the original line ran out the bump head does not feed the line I am using the 080 but I bought off amazon does it need to be greenworks brand? I have read other people having this issue.

My husband won't let me replace the cord. Thank you for your video, very helpful. Elizabeth

Hello Kenny, how or what i need to do to turn the knob in order to wind the line after i thread the line thru the holes? The knob is stuck. Thank you for your help.

Now its loaded. What do you do to lengthen the strings again once they are worn out using what has been loaded?

I have the trimmer but with the 4ah battery. Where do you find replacement batteries?

I have a year old 60 watt trimmer where the battery goes in the end instead of the top. Only used a few times and now battery does not want to snap into place and when it does snap into place it does not want to release???? Can you give me advice?

I just got my Green Pro 80v 16" model similar to that. I'm having trouble with the handle assembly. I tighten the knob but it only has one bolt. It's not sturdy enough to support weight of machine. Shaft keeps popping out of the side that doesn't have a bolt.

I have a year old 60 volt trimer I would like to install that new head like the one you showed on the new 60 volt trimer please tell me where to purchase one

Does it have a brushed motor or a brushless motor?

I've got the 13 in pro 60v version. How long should the length of line be to insert into the string winder? I've got . 08 line.

why do we have a blade to that guard at the bottom? when the trim line thread breaks, how do you pull it out from two sides to make it equal?

Researching cordless models. Are there cordless models that have: 1.) Brushless 2.) Self feed/not bump 3.) Self wind like your demonstration above. Thanks!

I am finding difficulty and painful in winding my line with my hands , the knob needs to be bigger ….is there something on market that can replace my existing line head for an easier winding?

We have the above trimmer ~ where can we find a replacement for the load n go head

I have a 60V can I get a replacement trimmer head and bump knob exactly like the ones that were on my trimmer when I bought it ?

Once I put the string through the weedeater, the head would not turn to finish loading the string. Any idea as to what's wrong?

I've have the Greenworks Pro ST60L02 and the bumper head is so chewed up you cannot see where the arrows are. And cannot find REPLACEMENT PARTS for the bumper head & cap. Any suggestions.....Anyone??

Please where can buy those two parts you removed before restringing?

Thank you for sharing.

While use the trimmer and when string gets shorter does it comes out automatically? we need keep pulling out manually.

How do you release/replace the bump knob?

How do I get more string out once it wastes from trimming? I have to open it? I know how to load it but when you trim the string gets short. How do I take some more out ?

The head on the Greenworks pro 60v ST60L254 is vastly different, do you have a “how to” on changing the string for it? The instructions are not very user friendly.

I have this trimmer. When I run the battery all the way down, and place it on the charger, I get a flashing red light and it won't except a charge. I must wait up to a day, repeatedly trying to get the battery to charge, but still a red flashing light, until it decides to except the dead battery and start charging. What's up with this?

I have 60v battery from a Warrior Eco trimmer. Can use it in the Greenwoeks trimmer?

Is there a wheel attachment that I can buy compatible with this tool?

mine is an 80v..why wasn't it made like the tap & go..simple line change for this one?? It's been less than a year since I got mine...have trouble adding new line..other than that...BEST BUY EVER!!!

I've got the 60v ST60L00. Can I use the new bumper head on my unit?

Great video thank you.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!😊❤

How long does the battery last on one full charge ?

Hi I have a question for you hope you can help I have the green works pro and the string keeps getting stuck and the string is only on one side stuck do you know what's wrong with it or how to stop it from doing that thankyou

Do you have to restring/rethread like that as you trim to move the string along (during and throughout EVERY trim)? Or do you do that ONLY when you run out of string completely and need to replace the entire spool? Also, must you remove that black cover plate to do this, or were you just removing it for demonstration purposes via closeup? I have only used a trimmer once and fought with it until I gave up. I need help. My lawn guy cracked and put holes in my new siding and has pulverized 2 shrubs after only 2 mows. I now need to order new siding which will not match because it'll come from a different lot. Please help. I hope you are still answering comments and that this posts.

Can I get a replacement head for my green weed eater at Lowe’s

I bought one of these and I’m having trouble when I tap the head the string does not feed it has drove me crazy does anybody know what I can do to fix this problem ?

How do I change a stringer cassette with restrung line? Model ST60L00?

Should have put that head on the older models, I now a weedeater that runs every time, but refuses to dispense line. Will that head fit older model or should I just buy a Steil

Can you purchase the Quick Wind Head by itself. I have an older model that you actually have to take the spindle out and wind the string around it. Would prefer the quick wind.

Ever since I have add to add line, and re-wind, It has not worked the same. It sure was nice that first go around when I could tap it to release more wire, now I have to do it manually, sucks!

Is it ok to use it without the guard on it ?

Thank you!!!!

What can I do to make the retreading nob easier to turn its hard to turn.

how long does a battery last on average?

Why does it only last 3 cuttings before the brushless motor locks and is wobbling.

Just one question on this, are you supposed to load two individual lines, I followed your instructions and got it loaded but to do this I took out two separate lines

I have this model but my head is just a simple bump feed. It doesn't have the load feature you were showing. Is that available for purchase from Greenworks

Unfortunately, if you're an experienced landscaper you'll find it unusable. There is a 3-4 delay between pulling the trigger and the head reaching full speed (vs. instant for gas powered, and also for the Dewalt I demo'd). LOVE Greenworks mower and blower, but had to send this back immediately.

How do you tilt the guard please

Your video was helpful. I am unable to remove the spool cover to get the extra line out. i have cheap .80 line and trying to put .95 line in. Could you help me with how to get the old line out? Thank you!

What size string does it take? Thanks

I have this trimmer and used it extensively last summer . But noticed lately that the bump feed no longer feeds the line. Do I need to replace the bumper part? I'm not sure what the part is called or where to get it. Seems like Lowes is no longer carrying these anymore.

I'm looking to replace mine. It seems like the bump head is old technology that manufacturers are getting away from. Thoughts?

Stupid question: how do you pop the head off to get the line out?

I just got one from lowes im waiting for the battery to charge then use it! Looks fun 🙂
