Ridggid 18V Weed Whacker String Replacment
I bought Ridgid system based on your recommendations.
That’s awesome, I hope it works well for you! Comment back after using it awhile and let me know is how you like it!! Thanks for the comment
Lol😂 buen provecho! Enjoy your meal my friend! You made me laugh! The genuine personality of you is so inspiring. God bless you and your wife!
Thanks my friend!! All I can be is me!! That’s how God made me so why change it!! Thanks for the comment
until ridgid starts having 8amp and up batteries, the milwaukee is a better value, got the red version of this for $107 when using the starter kit "hack"
The ridgid blower is definitely no power house lol!! Thanks for commenting
I was impressed I drove a T474 today and was very impressed by the tractor.
Get you one my friend!!! Thanks for commenting!!
Thank you! You saved the day 😊
Glad I could help! Thanks for the comment
As a past business owner for 40 plus years, you are so right. Treat your customers, suppliers and employees nice and with respect and you can succeed. Thank You.😊
That’s a real compliment coming from 40yrs of experience!! Thanks so much… and thanks for the comment
Thanks for the review! Well done
Thanks so much for the kind words and the comments!!
Just wanted to add to this gentleman's list of pros/cons on the 474. I agree with everything he mentioned, and pound for pound, this tractor is the best value in a compact tractor. Before being turned on to this tractor, I was ready to sign on a Kubota L4060 with cab. That tractor was 8 horsepower smaller and twice to price! I paid the same for mine, $31,000, and the L4060 was over $60k! With a front 66" blower, third function, and set of forks, I was at just over $40 out the door. Now I will say this.... If you want to spend twice the money, I like some things much better on the Kubota. The cab is much bigger on the Kubota, and the fit and finish is much better than the TYM. The overall physical size on the Kubota, looks and feels bigger. Time will tell, but I see no sacrifice in Quality or power in The TYM powerplant. In fact, that (along with price/value) was a huge reason I went with TYM. The Kubota, along with John Deere and many others, have computer-controlled Fuel injection. The TYM (to the best of my knowledge) is the only major brand, that still has a mechanical injection pump. Which means that after my warranty is up, I will not have to run to the dealer every time it "won't run" and dish out thousands of dollars to diagnose and fix computer issues. The Kukje engine is so simple, I should be able to diagnose and fix nearly any problem myself. It is my understanding that the only sensors on the whole tractor, are for the few gauges on the instrument panel, and one that senses the exhaust for controlling the re-gen. Also, this means that once my warranty is expired, I can delete the DPF and never have to worry about re-gen issues again. The other brands, (to my understanding) will either not run correct, or not run at all with a deleted DPF because the sensors send info back to computer regarding the exhaust output. These are HUGE reasons to consider the TYM. Don't take my word, ask your dealer about these things. Here are things I DONT like about the TYM and wish that they would address. 1- The controls for the 3-point hitch draft, and rear remotes, are buried down under the seat. They are not easily accessable for ease of use. I would like to see them put up higher in the side console where you can see, and reach them much easier like Kubota does. 2- There are days in the summer when You may not want to use the air conditioning but need ventilation. While the rear window does open, it lets in too much dust from your implement. I would like to see them add "quarter windows" at the rear of the doors, that can be kicked open different amounts like Kubota has on their cabs. 3- not sure why the fender clearance is not equal all around rear tire. ( they are very close to the tire in the front) I am thinking they did this to make the bottom of the doors wider for getting in and out. This is not a huge issue, but I foresee it being a problem should I ever want to add rear tire chains. 4- Overall fit and finish in the Kubota cabs, is much nicer. (huge difference in quality) And the cabs on the Kubota are much roomier. Having said this, I still feel the TYM is an incredibly better value. The things I like better about the Kubota, are not enough reason to justify twice the purchase price! And I think moving forward, TYM could improve on these cons without adding much to the overall price. And mechanically speaking, I think the Kukje engine is arguably one of the best (if not the best) engines available in any compact tractor. I hope this helps anyone shopping for a compact tractor.
Those are some impressive observations my friend and I agree with you point for point. I like what you brought out of some of those facts and I even learned a couple of those after making the video!! Thanks so much for commenting and adding some great insight. That’s the whole point, trying to help some one be more informed! Keep it up and thanks
I wish they were weather proof because mine are exposed to salt, wind, and sand.
Don’t know much about salt but it sure handles a rain storm well. They stay on the back of my truck and everything stays dry. Even driving in rain. Thanks for the comment
Where is the tym dealer in west tn? Im in brighton and in the market
Yorkville TN. Johnson Equipment. He’s on FB also. Thanks for the comment
Thanks for taking the time to post a video showing what this tool can do. It would be much more effective for you, and put much less stress on the electric motor, if you lift up every few seconds as it is spinning to help evacuate the dirt out of the holes. When you just muscle straight down without lifting up occasionally, the extra dirt left in the whole while boring keeps extra unnecessary pressure squeezing on the bit, which puts extra strain on, and more heat into, the electric motor, which shortens the life of the motor. Your dirt was mostly dry and flaky, so you were able to get away with doing it without lifting, but if it was more gummy clay it would've made it very difficult, and very hard on your fairly expensive auger. The other advantage of lifting occasionally is that you don't have to strain as much against the tool trying to twist out of your hands. Less fatigue at the end of the day, and tools lasting longer, especially the expensive ones, is always a good thing. Ridgid's Lifetime Service Agreement would repair or replace the tool if the motor burns up. But, that still causes weeks of down time, unable to use the tool. It's better to not ever need the LSA, and just keep on running smoothly. Have a great day.
Thanks for the tips my friend! I’ll give it a whirl!
My string broke inside. I couldn’t unlock it and when I finally did. A piece of plastic broke. Can I put a replacement head on this trimmer?
Not sure. I have found that taking it all apart is very difficult. Might be a question for the ridgid FB groups
The blower is great for cleaning gutters, driveway, and sidewalk. But I bag my grass, and only have pines, so I haven't needed it for grass or leaves.
Agreed, it definitely has its place! Thanks for commenting!!
THANKS FOR THE VID. WANTED TO "GET AN IDEA" ON THIS RACK, BEFORE AN ACTUAL PURCHASE. MADE MY DECISION, and HEADED TO "THE HARBOR"!
Thanks for the comment and the kind words. Enjoy your purchase. I sure did
Was that ever easy! I zip tied the orange tool to the extra string so that it does not get misplaced.
Thanks for the comment.. good idea!!
“Orange 🍊 is Better”. Amen to that. I’ve been converting all my tools to orange. I’ve got ridgid power tools, Husqavarna outdoor stuff, fiskars hammers & another brand for hand tools. And I threw away all my buckets and replaced them with Home Depot buckets 😂
I’m right there with ya.. that’s kinda why I started buying atlas outdoor tools before ridgid started making them! Thanks for the comment my friend. Keep keeping it Orange!!!🍊
terrible video.. delete this.. how do you take it apart?
You just gotta be a man lol 😂 I’ll be posting a follow up video soon. Thanks for the comment
This is a major flaw!!! I own $1000’s in rigid cordless tools. ZERO complaints. Until this piece of ish 💯
Honest review. Thanks for the info
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment
Hell yeah brother
👍🏽💪🏽🕺🏻. Thanks for the comment
7/8 in deck? That would be almost an inch thick my brotha...
That was a brain fart my friend.. I’ve been reprimanded for it already 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the comment though
Thanks. The comparison to a gas saw is all I needed to know. Will do anything I'm going to do. Sick of trying to start my gas saw.
I’m right there with ya. I’m not logging for a living. So this will do me just fine. Thanks for the comment.
This was helpful, but you missed the MOST IMPORTANT step - the arrow on the orange section must be lined up with the outer arrows on the black section. If you don’t do that, it won’t thread. I figured that out after your video gave me a start, so thank you for the info!
You’re absolutely right!! Can’t believe I didn’t mention that 🤦🏻♂️ thanks for commenting!! 😁
Thanks. I was getting frustrated.
Just yesterday, my nextdoor neighbor asked me how to change the string on her Rigid. The problem was that she had the remnants of her old string in the head - the new string wouldn't go through the holes. How do you open up the head to remove the remnants of the old string?
It does twist apart. It’s tough but it does twist to unlock.. time for a follow up video lol. Thanks for the comments
@@westtnliving2222 Thanks, so there are no secret buttons one has to push? Her Rigid is almost brand new, just used up her original spool of string.
I believe so! I’ll get back to ya asap
When the string breaks inside… that’s when you need a fresh can of gas ….. and a match!!!! 🔥🔥😉
@@PhillipPaul-lu1nv LOL!!! Why dies it have to be a FRESH can? 😁
Good job brother! 👍 Hope your advice is taken to heart by the watchers. Love this channel
Thats kind of you bro! I sure appreciate it
With yeti rtic all rotomolded cooler big cooler not a lot of space 😂😂😂😂 this is good.
True that!. Thanks for the comment
God Bless your heart son! I was scratching my head for the last hour trying to figure this out. Never thought to check the instructions (which is where I found that tool you talk about here).
It can be frustrating! Hope this helped!! Thanks for the comment!!
Nice video and editing. I have a 3rd gen Cummins 2wd with an 8’ bed that’s beat up, but still pretty solid. I’d love to fabricate a flatbed for it at some point.
Thanks my friend! Go for it, I wish I had the ability to make my own bed!! Do it and make a video so we can all see it!! Thanks for the comment
You are right.....99% of people these days will not use the phone it's text or nothing !
I like to texting but it don’t replace a call or better yet, face to face business! Thanks for the comment
Don't Buy. TYM Corporation Doesn't support after sales needs by customers. 9 weeks tractor down, NO PARTS. TYM Corporation Doesn't Care. Have a useless T574.
Sry to hear that my friend.. that sounds awful. Thankfully my dealer still gives a rip. Thanks for commenting btw
Good advice. Im retired & people still call knowing Im retired. I charge a price saying Im retired (high) and they still have me come out. So I take a young man with and try to pass on my knowledge to them. God Bless
Thanks for the comment! I feel like that things mentioned in my video are a lost art. I’m glad my dad taught me to be old school!!
Not true at all, I’m 23 in central Florida and I’m a welder/ fabricator and woodworker making high end products and I haven’t able to find consistent work ever! People need the work done but don’t want to pay fairly for it so they just won’t do it or will do it themselves. Especially as all this technology gets easier to use and more affordable more boomers and gen x with money would rather do it themselves and spend 2x more than pay someone to have it done. I see it first hand from close family and relatives, it’s disgusting. There should be an incentive to put money into younger peoples hands so that it can stimulate the economy and keep it going unlike whatever shit show is happening now all over the country.
If you undercut the prices of big weld, you'll get business.
Thanks for the comment!
Hey, I'm also in West Tennessee and thinking about starting a business. Good advice all around, hope to hear more.
Thanks for the comment. If I can be a help to ya, let me know!!
Good job James
Thanks for the comment cuz. I hope people get the message
Thanks for the very helpful review. (I wouldn’t want it to run on only one battery, because they would need to raise price to build it to run on both 18v & 36-volt.)
Great point, I was thinking it could run on one 18v battery for a short time like the 18v tank air compressor they have. Thanks for the comment!!
That thing is SWEET!!!! You know there's a lot of times that I would use that on earlier mornings In residential areas because of the quietness Awesome
Yea man,, I know you all would use the hound dog outta one of these!!!
Your’e a stud! Been using this weed wacker for 6 months and you saved me from continuing to loose my mind
I sure appreciate the support,, thanks for watching and especially commenting. It’s really helps my channel!!
Thank you for a good video - it clearly explained my dilemma of re-loading sring on my Rigid 18V Grass Trimmer -Thanks!!
I’m glad it could be a help to you. Thanks so much for the comment.
Great info!
Thanks for the comment!!!
Good video brother 👍 I really like your caulking gun. Do you ever use your Milwaukee m12 tin cutter, or is just simpler to use your shears? Appreciate the video's bro.
For cutting the hole for the pipe sorry.lol
I sure do,, I was just demonstrating the hand shear cause not everyone has one. The M12 nibbler is my first choice 😉
Looks like a hillbilly way to do it you need to use stepped flashing
Thanks for the compliment 👍🏽
@@westtnliving2222 What are you going to do when the silicone breaks down
@@westtnliving2222 Seems like has to be a lot better.I fixed boot with silicone sealer on the top
It makes a whole lot more sense than using step flashing.
That hole in the roof is triple sealed. It will never leak. Holy crap. And who the freaking heck uses step flashing on a metal roof??? Uhh no one. Research a lil better next time @userbillsucksroofing…. A silicone sealer ummm do you put that on with a brush? How the heck… I don’t even know.
I was thinking about using the “cooler/lunch” box to prevent the extreme heat and cold from messing with the batteries if I leave it in the truck. Not that it really matters with ridgid they literally mail you a new one for free if it dies but still. Im looking for a solution for this problem I think I’m gonna copy your system
Go for it, my friend. The only problem I see with the system so far is the overheating if the lid is closed completely shut. I plan on posting a video soon of some upgrades that I would’ve done from the beginning. I’m gonna be putting some kind of a fan or event in the box somewhere. Stay tuned. Thanks for the comment
Great video Bro! Useful information
Thanks my friend!!! Miss you guys
Sweet, ive got some old cans that the spouts are junk. Time to overhaul them. Thanks
Glad to help, thanks for the comment
Bless God!!!
An alternative to the screw or even the provided vent device is to get a valve stem (preferably a short one) drill the appropriate size hole to install it (from the inside is easier) and remove the core out of the neck and save the cap. You can vent both when filling and when dispensing.
Never thought of that!!! I’d love to try it! Thanks for the comment!
Is it brushless?
Great question 🤣 thanks for the comment 💪🏽
ToughBuilt tools are great! Have you had a chance to try the bull nose straight shears?
Not yet. I’d like to get them though! What is a good application for them? Thanks for the comment
didnt realize it was that easy. how much string can it hold?
Not sure on the exact amount, it hold 6’ real nice like. I have noticed that it don’t want to feed well if the string is to thick. Which is an obvious observation 🤦🏻♂️ lol.. thanks for the comment!
The manual says 16'
Wow, great video. Simple, to the point, the best kind of video there is!
Thanks my friend!!! I really appreciate that. Thanks for the comment
What about chain sprockets? I know you can order them from HF but. time and I don't know the cost. I would like to convert it to a floating sprocket like my gas saws but I doubt that is possible.
That’s a little over my head to be honest. Id love to shed some light on that but I’d probably lead you astray lol. Thanks for the comment though!!
Looking at the 5835R really was hoping for a cab but they haven’t come out yet.
I have really enjoyed the cab. I’m gonna be doing a pros and cons video soon! Thanks for the comment
