I am starting new lawn care business.. After a healthy tax return I went out to buy the whole Expand-it range along with a powerful motor to run them. I got the Ryobi 52cc 2 stroke.
Alas, that head does not do the Expand-it stuff. The fittings are wrong.
I was planning to buy another head anyway so I got the Ryobi 25cc 2 stroke that has Expand-it compatibile on the box. That works but I got thinking. It’s just a turning shaft. There must be an adapter for this so you can use the Expand-it stuff on any other head you like.
Anyone seen this anywhere? Anyone here done that?
I am not sure. I would reach out to Ryobi and see what they say.
Been 5 days now since I reached out to Ryobi. No response. Could have posted them a letter in that time.
Serious, that is crazy. I will see what i can find on my side.
Took them 2 week to respond..
“Unfortunately there is no adaptor that is applicable for these items. The Expand It range is not suitable for your unit. “
No explanation why not.. Just just a spinning shaft after all.. Looks like a DIY project in the making.
