Strimmer wire

[Matthew Arnold]

We run 3mm square stihl cord through our autocut 4 line head. We did it as a trial at the start of the season and have just bought a massive roll of it for the season but a 30 metre roll has lasted us from march until now through heavy grass, nettles, docks, etc.

Get a flail on that stuff or a Wheeled Strimmer.

 

Just demoed a wheeled strimmer for the first time and it would munch that mess

Most of our commercial customers use 2.7mm Stihl red square line for cutting bridlepaths etc appears to be best size for durability and clean cutting , mainly used on an FS460

Anyone seen or used the bresser heads and lines yet, if so how are they to use.

Ive been using that over the last week after our suppliers recommended it after been a bit sceptical at first its turned out to be very capable as you say durable and clean cutting ours is used in the big km

Looked at the Grillo one. Are they as good as they seem?? Unable to get a demo from dealer.

Reluctant to buy not knowing if its practical.

Started discussion on this yesterday but impressed with it so far and the line seems to last much longer than if I had used a strimmer. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/89605-any-recommends-wheeled-strimmers.html

I find that if you tilt the machine 45 degrees anti clock wise, you are not cutting across the fibres so much, but more along the length of the plant. That seems to help get through the tougher stuff. Also, if you are using an auto feed head, it helps to keep tapping the head, so the line is fed out quite regularly. This helps prevent the cord breaking where is leaves the head. Hope that's useful.
