It's all soft stuff and it will have a month's growth or thereabouts.

Do you use the four way head? 

I like the four way head for slightly tougher stuff such as brambles and docks. There is no benefit to it in month old grass and weeds. But with 2.7mm cord it’s good for the tougher stuff. Having 4 strings halves the wear on each string, and 2.7mm allows for a good length without too much drag. I’m not a fan of heavier cords- if it’s that thick then it’s time to switch to a blade.

Its like " Ground Hog Day " 😁  ...I knew of a bloke who had the largest Stihl brush cutter ( Not sure what numbers that is ) and he fitted a 21" lawn mower blade to it .

I know the one. Absolute monster machine and heavy as hell. There's one hanging in the corner of the local Stihl place, been there gathering dust for ten years or so.

The largest conventional brushcutter is an italian made one called "brutale"

I’ve got one of those. It’s brilliant. Bought it about 15 years ago. Local dealership had a batch and knocked them out half price to get rid as they weren’t selling. I paid about £220. I run the Oregon 4 way jet cut head. It’s been superb. Never broken down.
Same power head as the Eder winch.
