Product Description
Poulan/WeedEater 16", Wheeled Trimmer, 31CC Engine, 10" High-Traction Wheels, Heavy Duty, Dual-Exit, Fixed-Line Cutting Head, Uses .115 Diameter Line. Uses Trimmer Line Replacement #952711635
Amazon.com Product Review
Easily the T-Rex of weed eaters, Poulan's Dual-Cut Wheeled Trimmer features a 16-inch cutting swath for whacking down whole fields of weeds fast. Two oversized wheels with burly traction mean easy transport over rugged terrain and no shoulder strain from packing a heavy-duty trimmer around. Great for trimming around long stretches of fence, in gullies, and around water, the 31 cc engine powers 1.15-inch- diameter line to zip through feisty thistle, stubborn grass, and tenacious piles of tumble weeds. Ten-inch, high-traction wheels truck over rough terrain that'd easily roll other wheeled trimmers. A heavy-duty cutting head is built for years of brutal use. A dual exit for the fixed-line offers twice the cutting power while a cushioned handle offers optimal comfort and control. The purchase includes trimmer line and is covered by a Poulan 2-year warranty. Brian D. Olson

It's worth the money October 16, 2008
I was not impressed with the QA of the Weed Eater Company. It arrived in it's original box but had been opened at some point in time but all parts were there. It required quite a bit of rework to get it assembled as it was supposed to be right out of the box. Made me wonder if it had been a return. However once I got it right, it started immediately and does do what it says. The motor is a bit wimpy and not meant for heavy jobs. Takes time to get it aligned to cut in difficult places. Overall it's worth the shortcomings since you don't have to lug it around.
 16 inch 31cc gas powered dual cut wheeled trimmer #wt3100 October 15, 2008
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING WEEDEATER/TRIMMER I'VE EVER SAW. I JUST LOVE IT. IT'S EASY TO START, AND EASY TO USE. W. STEELMAN
Great product after rebuilding it September 21, 2008
The string head did not turn. The engine slid on its mounting moving it away from the drive shaft. It did this again after moving the engine back and pulling the starter rope.I beefed it up by fabricating an aluminum bar across the bottom holding the engine securely. It now works excellent.

I purchased my brand new Weed Eater Wheeled Trimmer at Wal-Mart, after seeing it marked down to $79.97. Quite a deal, I thought, since it sold for about $150.00 a couple of weeks before, (I think I know now why they were dumping them) and I've owned Weed Eater products all my life.
It was easy to assemble, and after a few minutes I was pushing it around my back yard cutting weeds. After 40 minutes of use, and after the trimmer had already fallen over several times, it fell over again, digging the .115 string into the ground and throwing a quarter sized rock at my face at a frightning speed. The rock hit me right below the left eye and split the skin open right to the cheek bone. I received 7 stitches at the emergency room. I honestly thought that my cheek bone was broken because of the intense pain and the deep purple brusing covering almost half of my face.
So, let me point out some quickly observed MAJOR problems with this wheeled trimmer in an attempt to save you from possible injury or disappointment.
1. The wheel base is WAY too narrow! Even on level ground the trimmer wants to tip over. If you have uneven ground, or the occasional "pot hole" you'll have to fight hard to keep the unit from falling over and the string digging ruts into the ground, or throwing rocks.
2. The trimmer it top heavy. Combine this with the narrow wheel base, and it's a recipe for disaster.
3. The engine is TOO powerful. You may think I'm nuts for saying this, but since the trimmer is fairly light weight and unstable, the RPM of the trimmer head is unbelievably fast. Way too fast.
4. The rock guard on the trimmer head is too small and "somewhat" ineffective. (I've never been hit in the face with a rock with any other trimmer)
5. The oddly shaped hand grips are too narrow, and you're constantly fighting to keep the trimmer upright.
6. The speed control lever is in a bad place and it is very difficult to keep the power (or speed) where you want to be. Full speed is too much, and idle is not enough. Trying to squeeze the lever to just the right speed is hard to do, since the same hand is always trying to hold the hand grip hard enough so the unit doesn't tip over.
7. It's too short. I'm 6 foot tall and I had to bend over to grip the handles. If you're just over 5 feet, it should be perfect for you.
All in all, Weed Eater had a good idea here. BUT, I find it VERY hard to believe they ever tested the trimmer in someone's backyard before it went to market. If the wheel base were about 10 inches wider, I don't think the trimmer would fall over. The rock guard, power lever, handle grips and height of the unit could also use some re-design.
I won't be using the trimmer again, and I don't recommend that anyone use this trimmer. And by the way, if you do insist on buying one, use some serious face and eye protection! I saw this trimmer throw a golf ball sized rock more than 30 feet. I should have stopped using it then...
WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE WEED EATER September 15, 2008
I AM MORE THAN PLEASED WITH MY PURCASE OF THE WEED EATER 16-INCH (ON WHEELS). SINCE PURCHASING THIS ITEM I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CLEAR AREA OF MY YARD THAT I AM UNABLE TO DO WITH YOUR NORMAL TRIMMER. HAVING CARPEL TUNNEL IN BOTH WRIST MAKE SOME CHORES TOUGH TO DO, BUT HAVING THIS PRODUCT ON "WHEELS", MAKE MY LIFE MORE ENJOYABLE WORKING OUTSIDE. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS PRODUCT.
