Cub Cadet BC 280 String Trimmer / Brush Cutter

Product Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by JennKA from Great trimmer! I’m not use to using a trimmer, usually I try to get what I can with the lawnmower. I’ve always been a little nervous about using a trimmer, but there really isn’t anything to be nervous about! Thanks to this trimmer my yard has improved tremendously! There is a good amount of power behind this tool and I was able to tear down thick weeds and grass without effort. I’m still learning how to maneuver the brush cutter attachment, but while using it, I was able to take out some dry brush and some of that invasive kudzu! I’m impressed! It was easy to put together, easy to use, and just an all around great trimmer!

Rated 4 out of 5 by gwillia from Bolt holding air filter keeps breaking Have tried to use it for 4 months. Bolt holding air filter housing keeps breaking. Bad design. Where you hold the handle, your had rest on the air filter cover, plastic top keeps coming off threaded bottom. Now has broken for 3rd time. Trying one mfg is sending, if that doesn't work will return it under warranty. Also, had to take it to their service center (30 miles away) to tune the carb....

Rated 5 out of 5 by moneymike12 from Love it! Out of all of the trimmers that I have owned, this one is by far my favorite. It starts every time with no hassles, pull cord is easy to pull and it's easy to remove and attach the different trimmers. I have a universal edger that I used on my old trimmer and it fits and works just as well on the BC 280. The part I've enjoyed the most about the BC 280, is It's extremely easy to change out the trimmer cord and it only takes one cord! The trimmers are very smooth and responsive and the whole unit is very light weight. The sling that comes with the trimmer is a great accessory as well since my back isn't what it use to be. Overall, I have enjoyed everything about this trimmer and I can't find any cons to give

Rated 5 out of 5 by anp84 from Works great! The Cub Cadet was very easy to assemble and everything I needed to get started. My home sits on a fenced in acre lot with several large children's toys and I was able to weedeat it all with ease. So far this product is great and seems to be made very well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mattkerouac from Great for my yard. I had an electric one but really wanted something with more power. I tried the cub and it was perfect. It is not too big and even my wife can use it. It even edges the yard as well. I really enjoy this and would recommend it to anyone.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jboston93 from DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY I purchased this weed eater about a year ago, And when I first used it it was great, I never had any trouble. Fast forward to now, i am currently on my 4th one(thank goodness for replacement plans). The first 2 I purchased lasted about 3 months a piece. I had 2 broke pull cords and a wore out head out of them. Now mind you I only weedeat for about 30 to 45 minutes each time I mow. So each of these only had a few hours a piece on them. Then last month the weed eater I had only used a handful of times this season and was brand new. Absolutely would not start(stopped half way through my yard). Then while trying to get it to start back the entire pull cord assembly broke. Now 3 weeks later I am weed eating around my house with the brand new one and it stops running and the bull cord breaks. Saying I am fed up is an absolute understatement. People pay a lot of money for these products and they are completley unreliable. I dont have time to take a brand new weed eater back to get it replaced every week. For this to happen 1 or 2 times I understand, but for this to be the 4th one??? This will be the last cub cadet product that I ever purchase and you can take that to the bank. Oh and I purchased a wheeled sting trimmer, which I am currently on my 2nd one. So we shall see.......
