258 specifications

Troy-Bilt has established itself as a leading name in outdoor power equipment, and the Troy-Bilt 258 and 256 models stand out for their reliability and performance. Both of these trimmers are designed for homeowners, landscaping professionals, and garden enthusiasts seeking efficiency and ease of use in maintaining their yards.

One of the main features of the Troy-Bilt 258 and 256 is the powerful 25cc two-cycle engine. This engine delivers the necessary performance to tackle tough vegetation while providing a lightweight and maneuverable design. The trimmers' engines are designed for easy starting, minimizing frustration for users. The JumpStart technology, available on both models, allows for an effortless starting experience using a drill. This eliminates the need for manual pulling, making it especially appealing to those who may struggle with traditional pull-start mechanisms.

Equipped with a dual-line bump head, these trimmers allow for quick line advancement with a simple tap on the ground, ensuring that users can maintain a continuous cutting process without interruptions. The 16-inch cutting swath ensures that users can cover larger areas in a shorter amount of time, making these trimmers efficient for trimming edges and handling tougher spots around the lawn.

Comfort is a primary focus in the design of these trimmers. Both models feature ergonomic handlebars that provide a secure grip and reduce user fatigue during extended use. The adjustable shaft allows for customization to different user heights, promoting better posture and comfort during operation. This attention to user experience is crucial for both casual users and professionals who spend hours maintaining landscapes.

In terms of durability, the Troy-Bilt 258 and 256 are built with high-quality materials designed to withstand frequent use in various outdoor conditions. The trimmers are resistant to wear and tear, allowing them to last through the seasons.

Overall, the Troy-Bilt 258 and 256 trimmers combine power, versatility, and user-friendly features, making them worthwhile options for anyone looking to maintain their lawn effectively.
