I mean it, it's the best trimmer head I have ever used. This is not a paid promotion, I bought the trimmer head with my own money and no one from any company got me to make this. I just really liked the trimmer head and wanted to make sure people know about it. Many people struggle with bump heads and this is a great alternative. Enjoy! 👍 You can get this one here: amzn.to/3f8iBI5 and the newer combo head here: amzn.to/2SjUKfG

andicampbell8621. 🤣I was wondering if someone would point that out lol. I have been searching for a better set up than I had, and the one I saw on you tube that really struck me as a good one was the one where you line up the hole right through the head, then feed about 10 feet of line right through, double it over and cut, =20 feet, then ratchet the line on till you have the correct length that you want and you're good to go. However, as easy as this is, and I'm happy with it....the one in your video would be hard to beat. You are basically going from two strings to six strings, which is probably why it lasts so long. I will definitely give this one a try. Thanks

This was an excellant video! I bought one of these at Walmart for my Ryobi, because the bump spindle head was getting to be such a hassle to use. I tried to unpackage it carefully (in case there was a problem with fit or performance) but that was impossible. The included instructions were very poor, so I was about to put everything into a bag and return it. Then I checked RU-vid and found your video, and everything simply fell into place. The company that sells these things should award you with a percentage of their sales, because without your easy to follow instrutions they would be dealing with many customer returns. Thank you so much! Just as you said, this thing works terrific!

I agree 100%, I have been using this Trimmer head for two or three years and I love it. I would never use a trimmer with a different head again. My trimmer died and so far I bought 3 different trimmers but returned all of them because this trimmer head was not compatible or removing the head from the new Trimmer was difficult. I just ordered a new Ryobi hoping that I can use my PivoTrim again. Thank you for the video

Tip, when cutting new cords from a spool, I used a snippers and cut at a 45 degree angle. that way they go into the thingy much easier,

I just bought one of these style heads yesterday and looking to install it shortly. I don’t mind the bump head that mine currently has, but with it having dual lines that have to be feed can be a little time consuming if the line doesn’t catch not to mention that if one line comes off or out, then you’re running one line and have to deal with that which is another pain and time consuming.

@user-vt7uz9fs7e
@user-vt7uz9fs7e 10 месяцев назад
I bought one of these because of your commercial, and the fact that it was too hard to reload the string on my bump-head . This is a miser on the string wearing out. There is a major problem with it. It tends to lay the grass or weeds over, rather than cutting them off. I have to keep going back and forth over the same area to get the job done. That takes twice as long as it does with a bump-feed head! I saw a demo of the Echo Speed Feed Universal 400 head. I bought one__ it works great! It is super easy to reload too! It takes less time to load 20' of string than it does to remove worn strings, then cut and load three pieces of new string for the PivoTrim (It was waste of money)!

There is far less line with this Rino than on a bump type system. You may actually get more RPM’s with less effort because the head is only spinning line that is cutting instead of spinning extra line as well.

I use .095 line, but I think you can go even thicker on that head. The MFG says: "PivotTrim universal trimmer head accepts .080 and .095 diameter line" so maybe start with .095 and try thicker line later if you want it to last a little longer. The .095 line works great for me. Good luck!

I purchased this head and really was excited about it. But the reality is the line breaks just as much. Maybe if you have a small yard or area to do that might be fine. But I have a very large yard and the line was breaking all the time. It also did not cut weeds near as good. It’s fine for just grass but anything larger it will not do the job. Also, I found that my ryobi gas weedeater ran significantly different with this head on. It was worse. Slower. Great concept, but for me it just didn’t work. I am going to try the echo 400. I’ve heard good things about it.
@SeidelRanch
@SeidelRanch 2 года назад
Sorry to hear you had issues with it. I don't have a huge yard to trim (1/3 acre) so it's great for me. I do know what you mean about it running slower. The head has more line to sling so it puts more load on the trimmer. I adjusted my trimmer carb to compensate for that but you don't have to. Is this what you mean by the echo 400: amzn.to/37EOvuZ? Let me know how that goes. I would be interested. I hated my Ryobi bump feed, but maybe it was a brand design issue and not a bump feed issue. Good luck.

Tips: Hydrate the line, put it in water for a few hours... (2) be careful around hard objetcs, (3) Do not force the trimmer, you are supposed to cut with the tip of the line not forcing the entire line into the grass you are cutting....

Will this fit the Atlas trimmer from Harbor Freight? Also, how does it hold up with edging (concrete)? The shaft on the Atlas is quite a bit longer, with maybe an inch of bare metal (no threads) at the base of the bolt. Maybe there are spacers with the PivoTrim? UPDATE: I finally got the PivoTrim installed on my 40v Atlas weed trimmer. WARNING: none of the nuts and bolts that come with the PivoTrim will work on the Atlas 40v (or 80v since it's the same head). I took off everything on the arbor bolt. I bought a 10m x 1.25 nut and 5 10m washers. I put the washers on, slid the PivoTrim on then was frustrated AGAIN. The nut does not fit the hex nut holder that holds the PivoTrim on! So, I removed my side wire cutters and snipped the little brackets (looks like bee hive walls) as much as possible. Then, I used my hammer to hammer the 10m x 1.25 nut down as far as possible. Lastly, I held the arbor bolt in place using a screwdriver and spun the PivoTrim until it tightened. I got it as tight as possible. Now, it works. I've used the trimmer in only my backyard using an entire battery charge! The grass (and weeds) were out of control. I'm waiting to trim the front as the batter charges. I would recommend NOT changing out the Atlas trimmer heads. The PivoTrim works great, but you have to take how much time and effort you're willing to give to this endeavor. Done and happy with the final results, but I think I'd just get a more powerful trimmer in the first place. Good luck.

Not sure. I have not tried the 4 string one. If you get that one, let me know what you think. I think the more strings it has, the more load it will put on your trimmer. If you have a big gas one that may not matter, but if you have a smaller trimmer it may put too much load and make it run slower or eat up battery faster. These are assumptions though.

I heard that pitch before, it last forever it is fast to change, you can load a thicker gauge on it, blah blah blah. Here is the problem. Once it gets cut back a bit, you have to throw all that line and replace the entire thing. I had one on a new line trimmer (as they love them in South Africa) for pro usage and after 2 weeks I went and got a bump head. I hit some stuff like a stone and I bump and keep going, hit some dog shit, I do not have to be playing with that fix line
@SeidelRanch
@SeidelRanch 2 года назад
I understand what you are saying, and if I was using it as much as you for a more pro type head I may feel the same way. For me I can trim the whole house a few times before I have to even change it out. If I was doing 50 houses a day, I might feel different. If I was doing a lot of trimming in a more commercial type fashion, I would probably be looking for something I don't have to mess with very often and maybe a high quality bump head might be it. The bump head that comes on the Ryobi trimmers is not the bump head I would be using though.

I tried one of these heads and had a poor experience. Problems: * Three strings (effectively 6 strings) is a lot more rotating mass for the motor to drive. It was slower to spin up to cutting speed and my Echo engine got very hot when using this head. * When the strings break off, they leave a small nub at the pivot points that can be hard to get out and replace the strings. Need a small needle/pick to get the broken nubs out. I tried multiple string weights all with the same results. I went back to a string-through spool wind-on head and like it much better.
@SeidelRanch

Agree on those points, but I have not had an issue removing the small pieces left. The load has been minor for my trimmer and gas trimmers can be adjusted to compensate for the load. But in the end, it will be what you like best.
