Does it include a spool (cutter string)? Is there anything else I need to buy before using?

Yes, the Green Machine comes with a full load of cutter string already installed. It's ready to go as soon as you put it together and load it with fuel. I recommend using the Tru-Fuel product. Yes, it's more expensive but is kind to the inside of the engine, whereas Ethanol enhanced fuel is not particularly friendly to small motors.

This string trimmer will arrive with its spool fully loaded with trimmer line. Recommend you buy some extra trimmer line. Line size should be .080". I bought "Cyclone" brand trimmer line(.080")(200 feet of line) online from Amazon. Here's a link to the line I bought: http://www.amazon.com/Cyclone-080-Inch--Commercial-CY080D1-2-12/dp/B000E2EZ82/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1388195860&sr=8-5&keywords=Cyclone+trimmer+line

The only thing you will need to buy is gas. It even comes with a small bottle of oil.

Yes, it comes with a cutter head that is already spooled. It is a an awesome weedeater.

Yes it does come with a small spool. Be advised this unit (at the time of my purchase) has a problem with the kill switch. (the switch on the handle) It was remaining closed (default was supposed to be open to allow the engine to run) and not allow the unit to start. Be advise - the unit is GREAT .. outside of the issue where you cannot start it. So.. I would not buy from Green again.. as they have no support structure and I really do not like buy parts (spark plug broken out of box, and kill switch) for a brand new unit I cannot return.

Yes it does. You just need to buy a gallon of gas and add the supplied 2 cycle oil to it.

No, the spool rack is not included, but you do get a LOT of various colors for embroidery thread at a great price. (And, the thread is actually pretty good, vivid color, nice gloss, good coverage).

I have not had to replace the line yet. However Amazon sells pre-wound spools Toro 88528 3-Pack Dual Line Replacement Spool for 48-Volt Trimmer, 0.065-Inch. I personally went to wal-mart and just bought a spool of 0.065 line i got one that has lines cut into it giving it a star look so it has sharp edges. Which i belive will cut some of the tougher weeds easier.

Yes, you have pretty much all you need. I don't care for the flush cutters. I bought a better one. I find these dull and the ends are not sharp enough. But if you are using soft wire, sure.

Yes...but when you order it make sure you pay attention. ..the model # accompanied by the word "-SPOOL" is the spool only. ..i purchased this reel and I love it!

It comes with the metal cable spooled on the winch. It will kink easily if not used properly but I havent had many problems with mine and I use it pretty often.

On the spool, the outer side is covered with the wax paper, but it's sticky on the inside. You can still easily cut strips before using, but be careful because it's strong! I also found that after a bit of cutting, I had to clean my scissors using GooGone or something similar because the adhesive would build up on the scissors. LOVE the product though... plenty sticky and perfect for so many projects.

The hose set that we received did not contain band crimping pliers. I would have been surprised if it did. We just used a dull pair of bull nose wire cutters to crimp being careful not to cut the clamp. There is a special tool made like the Ideal-Tridon 61001V Crimp Clamp Tool that Amazon sells for doing this job but wire cutters will work if they are dull and you are careful.

It comes with 0.065 line. I have used this trimmer for two months once a week and I still have the same spool of line. I might expect you would have line advance issues if you put a thinker line on it. It works well for light duty cutting and edging. The change from trimming to edging feature is nice. I got the blower too! I bought the extra trimmer spools 8 pack but have not needed them yet.

Yes, cable, connectors, and a wench handle are included. You also get a pulley block that nearly doubles the pull rating.

It does come with string. 75ft I believe. You might want to get a bigger spool though.

I did load the spool by hand. It's very simple and took about a minute. Follow T Garrett's instructions and you should have no problem.

Yes, I've been able to buy the replacement spring spool that has new line on it. Typically, the place I consistently have found it is at Ace Hardware. I really do like this trimmer 'cause it's light in weight and allows me to get really close whereas the ones with the little metal hoop projection are heavier and didn't let me get up close. It's an inexpensive unit, so it's worth a try :) Thanks for asking--hope my review helps.

Spool is included. The string is more than long enough. Don't know the exact length, but it's more than I have ever needed flying this thing with my son. I hope that helps.

Yes it does. I have purchased three of this model in the last six months and they all came with a spool cover. The reason I bought so many is because I think it is being discontinued by B&D; and I really do like the trimmer. Will buy more if I can find them at a reasonable price ($35-$40).

It does come with some string. I will say, mine doesn't cut very well but I believe if I use a stronger string, it might do better. The string is pretty thin.
