Turbo Self-Propelled Walk-Behind Line Trimmer

Turbo's self-propelled walk-behind trimmer cuts with a 4.0 mm string on a line head over a 22-inch, 560 mm swath. It runs on a TB1P70FA 173 cc OHV engine with recoil start, 10-inch wheels and a metal deck, and folds for storage. Turbo's website gives a 30–75 mm cutting height while its catalogue gives 35–75 mm, so ask which applies to your build. For grass along farm lanes and orchard access, this page covers the route, the line and head, the walking controls, clearance and the fold and pack sizes.

Build my procurement brief

What grass work it suits

This is a wheeled string trimmer for grass, separate from metal-blade brushcutters and soil tools. The 560 mm swath describes one pass; dense stems, close work around plants and area per hour depend on your site. For lawn jobs beyond trimming, the same Turbo range includes a gasoline scarifier and TBE corded mowers.

Route question	What Turbo gives
Grass and verge route	Describe the vegetation, obstacles and finish you want. Ask the largest woody stem and tallest growth it handles.
Pass width	22-inch/560 mm nominal width. Real coverage depends on overlap, walking conditions, line wear and stops.
Clearance along rows	The swath is narrower than the body and wheels. Ask for the assembled size and how close it can work to crop and tree bases.
Output	Agree a demonstration with Turbo on your route and finish. Turbo gives no fuel use, throughput or mowing speed.

The 4 mm line and the cutting head

Self-propelled controls and engine

Turbo's table names TB1P70FA as the engine model, at 173 cc. The machine has no code of its own, so put the machine description, the engine and the agreed configuration on the enquiry.

The catalogue mentions a throttle that sets walking speed and a self-propelled drive. It gives no travel speeds, drive ratio, direction choices or stopping and disengagement behaviour, so ask for the operating manual for the drive and handle controls on your build. Starting is by recoil; if you want electric start, ask for it by name.

The catalogue shows several engine covers as options and marks a hand-pushed model as coming soon. Ask what your quote includes, the power rating for each cover option, and when the hand-pushed version will ship.

Minimum cutting height: 30 mm or 35 mm

The website graphic gives a 30–75 mm cutting height and the current catalogue gives 35–75 mm, with the same engine and swath. If the lowest cut matters for your finish, ask Turbo to confirm in writing the height positions of the build you order.

The underside illustration shows a cover protecting the chassis components. Ask what debris protection it gives, the safe distance for bystanders, any water or dust rating, and the guarding instructions for the bumper and cover.

Folded size, carton and storage

Turbo's diagrams show the trimmer at 145 by 110 cm unfolded and 85 by 55 cm folded, seen from the side. The carton is 77×49×53 cm. Ask whether parts are removed for packing to reach that carton size. Wheeled trimmers and mowers from other suppliers are listed on our garden and forestry page.

Buyer questions

Is TB1P70FA the trimmer's model number?

No. Turbo labels it the engine model. The trimmer has no separate code. [1] [2] [3]

Is the minimum cutting height 30 mm or 35 mm?

The website says 30 mm and the catalogue 35 mm. Ask Turbo to confirm the settings of your build in writing. [2] [3]

Can I use any 4 mm line?

Turbo gives only the diameter. Ask which material and profile it approves for this head. [2] [4]

Is there a hand-pushed version?

The catalogue marks one as coming soon. Ask Turbo about availability and specification. [3]

Does folding halve the shipping volume?

Turbo claims up to 50% storage saving without a baseline, and the folded spans differ from the carton. Ask for the packed and stored sizes. [2] [5]
