Best Strimmer cord for stock fences

[Stubby]

Depends what you're doing. If there's crap in there you wouldn't want to hit with a blade it's better, basically doesnt wear on medium brambles and below.

 

Yea I know what you are saying . I hit a tin of Dulux white gloss hidden deep once with the Oregon mulching blade . Not a pretty sight .

OK . thats your opinion and you are entitled to it obviously . I will word my reply ( based on my experience ) .....Stay away from that Stihl rubbish . Don't use a " tap " head , they are crap . Oregon Jet Fit head is the one to go for . Tap heads snap too easily . Diamond Edge Line is about the best you can get . It is formed in a vacuum to eliminate any air pockets in the line and as said soaking is always beneficial what ever line you use . I also use a mulching blade when appropriate . 45cc Husqvarna RX for the line and 55cc Husqvara for the blade . Don't do " gardening " .....

 

So, diamond edge line is formed in a vacuum?... is that like go faster stripes on a car?.

I've never snapped a tap head yet, and I've used strimmers for years.. you must be doin somethin wrong..

 

 

Having just looked at the flexi head on utube, I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole, you'd spend more time bent over re-threading that thing that actually strimming:thumbdown:

See I prefer it the other way round. Blade on the smaller machine and nice long, thick line on the big strimmer.

There's strimmer line from Italy with pretty little shiney bits mixed in apparently "embedded aluminium particle nylon line"

 

Doesn't seem to make much difference!

Yep, gimmicks to confuse the gullible..

Sounds logical.

I use the hs81r for bramble or stock fencing myself

No I don't think forming plastic extrusion under a vacuum is like go faster stripes on a car but obviously I could be wrong .
