just want to know what blade to choose or what strimmer head to get for it

We got a new strummer a few weeks ago and out an Oregon jet fit head with the 6mm jagged flexible des on, it does a hell of a good job! You could probably get the head and blades for under £50. You can come and have a look at ours and try it out too if you want.

[RobRainford]

I was waiting for a comment on strummed. Only noticed after I'd posted, I meant strimmer.

Thanks rob looks a snazzy peice of kit

[RobRainford]

We are very pleased with it. With thicker cord in it it is happy all day on one set of cords, 2 or 4 single pieces depending on thickness and power of machine, and will make short work of thicker plants.

just get the stihl 3 prong brush knife.

NOW YOU,VE GONE AND DONE IT LOL

 

i was dreading asking as i,ve already ordered a jet thingy but wondering have i done it wrong again dad and ordered a pup i get confused easy these days as theres loads of blades about i was thinking the jet thing is more universal to be honest and user friendly

[RobRainford]

The three prong blade is good but only useful in heavy grass. You don't want to be hitting walls or stones. The jet fit will take any strimmer cord in 26cm pieces. Makes it very useful.

strimmer heads are all well and good but with a small engined machine such as a fs310 will be hard work in long grass.. thats were blades come in, the 3 prong blade on my even small machine (fs85) will tackle anything with ease and less strain on the machine in demanding jobs, ei long grass, thick grass, brambles ect..

hope this helps.
